Another great recommendation!  Opening and breaking down boxes is the bane of my pocketknife edges.  And I just happened to be at Menards... and yes they have the new "lite" version for <$10, so...    ;)   This thread has cost me some money.   The Gerber's gizmo's quality is really great; this must be the Cadillac of box cutters.

These may be a bit above budget but you wouldn't be unhappy with either. I have both a Benchmade Griptillian and a ZT350. The ZT is a bit bulky and the Benchmade is a great 1 handed knife. Benchmade Axis lock is more user friendly than the ZT liner lock which can be hard on fingernails.

I have this same knife and although I really like it there are a few things I noticed.
- the screws on the clip will work loose but if you tighten them back down it seems to be fine for a long time.  They never worked their way out just loose.
- sometimes the blade will start to open slightly so when you unlock the blade it won't open with the assist button.  just lock the blade again and push the blade fully back into the body and then unlock to get it to assist open.

Otherwise this thing is durable. Holds a edge very well and fits well in my hand.  The sound it makes when opening tends to make some people jump but these are the same people who get scared just knowing there is a pocket knife in the building anyway. :)

Anything from William Henry. Just do not scratch it.

I received a Sig Tac as a gift 10 years ago.  As a mechanic, I abuse this thing every day.  Still looks like new and holds an edge great.  G10 scales allow no metal liner making it very light weight and has stayed tight with no screw's loosening or needing adjustment.  Around $100 last time I checked.
