This would be correct, if it was a box cutter but not used with the intent to injure it would not be considered a weapon. Anything can be classified as a weapon if you threaten to use it to harm a person, or use it to harm a person. In this case he brought the box cutter with him but did not threaten or assault anyone with it that we know of so it is just a box cutter, not a weapon.
