    If you're just opening boxes with it, Just go to HD, They have a folding utility razor knife. Opens easily with one hand, and you don't have to worry about sharpening it, Just flip/replace the blade when needed.

    I've had one for 7-8 years now, it's tough enough to strip the insulation off 750mcm wire. opens quickly, and has a strong lock.

    Just make sure it's the Huskey brand from HD, the one Lowes has, is a piece of junk.

    +1 When I worked in a warehouse, the amount of boxes and adhesive can really ruin a good knife. The Husky box cutters do their job well and keep your nice assisted open blade nice.

    The best advice I can give you is to go to Walmart (I know) and buy the Kershaw Tanto Blur which is an all black knife. It's now priced at $49.99 which is a STEAL for what you get. It's assisted open so it's perfectly legal but it might as well be an automatic. It's a Ken Onion SafeOpen knife and it's awesome! I paid $70 back before they went on sale and I feel that even at $70 you would be hard pressed to beat it anything under $100. Plus it's Walmart so I'm not going to go into detail but we all know how lenient their return policy is. That's all I'm going to say on that.

    Buy one and try it out. You won't be disappointed.

    I have had good luck with Benchmade Axis locks set-up for one hand open and closing. The spring assists, I have tried, work great to open but require two hands to reset the spring when closing.

    Here's what you're looking for in a gray/red package:

    Now that I see the pic of that Kershaw, I strongly recommend DO NOT waste your money on it. The skateboard grip tape like handles are rough and not comfortable to grip, the blade doesn't hold an edge well at all, the serrations are too pronounced and will catch on rope and such instead of cutting through it, and the spring mechanism in mine broke after 4 months or so. I wouldn't buy that knife again for anything.
