[Dumbass]

Locate your carotid arteries and stab/slash there.
You will die if you do this but it will be extremely painful and you'll probably stop a quarter-way or half-way through

 

[LoveYoux]

Of course, just take one hell of an urge x

I think you might be underestimating how difficult that would be. Yes, a box cutter could cause significant damage, but the pain would be agonizing. It would be extremely difficult to complete the process. If you were able to do enough damage, you'd be in exceptional pain.

I really hope this is not what you choose. I know firsthand how painful life is and how eager you must be to want it to end. But I wouldn't wish such a painful experience on anyone.

That sounds so horrifying and painful. I think that for me personally, I would never consider ctb that way. I'm sorry that it has come to this point for you. I wish you relief from suffering in whatever you decide to do.

it's actually hard to cut your throat not just because it takes guts, it's just hard to cut there because of muscle/ tendons ( coming from first hand experience)

This sounds like a terrible idea and unlikely to work, you will be in extreme pain for a long time. Please do not do this and reconsider as cutting as a method is not reliable.

No, it cuts boxes, not throats ! It's in the name. The blade will shrink itself and go floppy in protest of being used for anything besides boxes.

 

[Lost in a Dream]

It certainly would if you use enough strength and determination to do it, but if you are capable of it then you're a lot braver than I am. I'm a wuss when it comes to pain and could never handle anything like this.

I really hope you can come up with a more reliable and significantly less painful way to do this, if you're absolutely certain that it's what you want.

I would suggest that you also pick up a pork roast. Like a cottage roll or hogs leg with bone in.

Then try and make a localized cut aiming for a specific point within the roast. (Please wear safety gloves if you can.)

You'll find out very fast that cutting through skin, fat, tendons etc is actually quite difficult. Especially if you are aiming for a specific artery. That's why surgeons train for years. And butchers too.

You'll also find out if your knife's blade will break off easily (they are designed to snap off in sections).

If you push the blade out far enough to reach your carotid artery, you will also break off the knife much easier.

There is a lot to consider and overall, I really can't recommend it.
Other methods are faster, cheaper, less messy, less painful and won't send you to the ER with a massive slash along your neck that will be visible for the rest of your life.

No. Don't do it. Box cutters will get stuck

 

[Ligottian]

I can't imagine the agony I'd have to in to try and cut my throat. I've seen videos of Jewish kosher and Muslim halal animal slaughter by throat cutting. Horrific. And this was when it was done "correctly". Not hating on anyone. I have no doubt factory farmed animals probably suffer as much before they die. Just saying.

No it won't. Only if you hit the major vein/artery going to and from your brain. I strongly advise against this method OP, it's a lot of unnecessary pain. I hope you will choose a less painful method if you CTB.

 

[Judy Garland]

Well, there ya' have it. It looks like everyone is going for a no with this method. I have to agree. Thank you OP for your question.
