Head Matter:
Richard Wayne COOK, Appellant, v. James V. CROSBY, Jr., Secretary, Department of Corrections, Appellee.
No. 1D05-2355.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Nov. 7, 2005.
Appellant, pro se.
Charlie Crist, Attorney General, and Anne C. Conley, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Richard Cook filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, contending that his convictions pursuant to a nolo plea for carrying a concealed weapon and improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon are unlawful, because he was carrying a razor knife, or box cutter, which this court determined cannot be a dangerous weapon in Holley v. State, 877 So.2d 893 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004). The trial court denied the petition and we affirm. Cook has raised this issue in previous post-conviction motions; hence the petition was procedurally barred. See Frazier v. State, 898 So.2d 1183 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005); Heilmann v. State, 832 So.2d 834 (Fla. 5th DCA 2002).
AFFIRMED.
ERVIN, BARFIELD and VAN NORTWICK, JJ., concur.
. Although a razor knife/box cutter was not designed or constructed to cause death or great bodily harm, it can be a deadly weapon if the defendant uses, threatens to use, or intends to use it in a manner likely to cause death or great bodily harm. See Holley, 877 So.2d at 896; M.L. v. State, 842 So.2d 257 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003); State v. Fleming, 606 So.2d 1229 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992).
