A knife with this blade size and shape is ideal for opening Amazon and other boxes. It is like a razor knife but with a sturdier blade.

Tri-Ad Lock system is supposed to be superior, but my experience has been it is very difficult to release, requiring a painful finger experience.

I've picked up a few of these from these frontpage deals, and my experience is that they definitely start out stiff but break in well, especially once oiled up. It feels to my hands like a very "deep" lock - this adds to the robustness of the lock, but also requires pressing down slightly further to unlock it than with other back-lock knives I've owned.
On the other hand, the lock also puts heavy "closing force" on the blade sooner during closing than other knives I've owned, which means more time and distance between the quickly-accelerating blade and the handle for a finger to accidentally get caught in. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of.

I had this on my keychain for a long time and no complaints at all, but then I realized for something that you carry on the keychain may want to minimize bulk even more.So I haven't been using this one since I got one that's even smaller. Also I don't know how much you would need the over engineered triad lock , because it's just a little box cutter essentially, it's just features that makes more sense on a bigger knife.
