What tool do you use to open letters and packages? Fixed blade knife, folding pocket knife, the thin and long letter opener you can get at staples?

I generally just rip letters open and pull packing tape off of packages, but for recalcitrant ones I'll use whatever bayonet I have handy, usually an M4.

Fingers for letters. Rip a corner and then the side open.
Pocket knife or keys to break the tape on packages. Without a knife you can also punch the side of the box under where the flaps meet and that will separate the tape, then can bare hand rip the flaps apart from the tape along their length. |

Envelope: Tear the end of the flap on the short end. Tear the rest of the short end. Done.
Packages with paper tape: punch. Packages with regular tape: car key, etc. |

Packages? Olfa 9mm snap-off utility knife. The body is stainless steel, the blade is replaceable, they are cheap enough that you don't sweat it if you lose one. They're made in Japan so you're not supporting communist China. I was turned onto them by Arfcom.
 I use a plastic Cold Steel dagger to open office mail. I used to use a Bowie but I freaked out my staff. |

Whatever knife is closest. I like using the awl on my Vic Pioneer to cut tape, keeps the residue off the knife blade.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pocket knife. This. One time my old army buddy thought it would be hilarious to mail a bunch of his beard hair and pubes to some of our old squad. I used my knife and just shook my head knowing this dudes a nut My friend however just opened it...with his teeth. Yeah, I get a call a bit later with him bitching in his heavy southern accent, "that's the last god damn time I ever open a letter with my teeth!!" |

I have a couple old letter openers I found in my grandparents' stuff, one from Curly Lambeau's brother's supply yard or something like that and one from some old oil company. Those or a pocket knife.

If I am in normal clothes, my EDC pocket knife. In gym/lounge clothes I grab scissors or a utility knife. In my office or opening diapers in my son's room I grab one of these:
