Any utility knife that uses DE Blades?

So I'm sitting here cutting open packages that I get from Amazon and I started thinking.
Since I have so many DE Blades, I wanted to know if there are utility knives out there that take DE Blades as well.

I'm not cutting anything hard or thick, just small packages and tapes from boxes.
 
I have a really old one somewhere that does. But I think most take GEM or trapezoid style blades.
 
You just need some GEM razors to buy GEM blades for, then you’ll have so many GEM blades you can get a utility knife for?

I cut up cardboard to pack the recycling and have bought many utility blade holders always looking for something better. I’ve never thought of using a de blade. Not sure they are tough enough for cardboard maybe cutting tape and packing.

Gillette Canada made a nice one, also Rotbart. These are vintage, but available on the bay. Folding cigar cutters also work.

Try one of the Milwaukee Fastback line. My EDC is a Milwaukee Fastback compact. I have $300 folding knives but the Milwaukee is the one I carry every day, lol. $9 at the Depot.
 
Find a Gillette or Autostrop-branded vintage cutter.

Hi,

My first thought was that the DE blades are too thin for such use. But that old holder looks like it would be just fine.
