I really think you will like the zing. I just received one on a trade from the forum (thanks waynejitsu) and I love it. It seems you are looking for a smaller knife (not bulky) and this is it. I am really amazed that the blade length on this is equal to some of my other knives yet it is so much smaller overall. Very solidly built but not heavy at about 3 oz. Assisted opening is great but when you get a non assisted flipper that opens like a switchblade = priceless.
On another note I totally agree with you on the spydies not being for everyone. I never liked the looks on them and am only now (after about 6 months) starting to warm up to them. I like the looks of the persistence and a couple others but still think most are god ugly.
Honestly the main reason I responded to this thread is sometimes I get sick of everyone on this forum trying to shove spyderco down every new users throat. There are other knives that can compete with the Tenacious, price for quality.
