So my vote is the Piranha, I would be careful though seeing as that is an automatic knife. At least it's not an OTF though.

Have you considered a 912-913 Benchmade? Those can be had for right around $100-$120 and I must say they do an excellent job with boxes. I prefer the tanto though, I had both of them. The assisted opening is wicked fast too. *not an automatic*

Another worthwhile point is Benchmades CS is just about the best out there in the knife world.
Im not super worried about the sheeple friendliness I usually carry a UTX85 or LUDT and havent gotten anything but compliments from customers. Im holding out for the New Lone Wolf Trask (produced under benchmade) for my next blade.

If I may ask what diddnt you like about your ZT (Keep in mind a ~$130 knife and a ~$500 cant be compared apples to apples.)
