I just can't get over the Axis lock. It is the easiest one hand open/close device I have found yet. And in my job a knife that comes out fast, and goes away just as fast, one handed is a valuable thing. I also learned young that if your going to ride a bike, a nice thin knife is desirable. I believe skidding down the road on my butt with a Gerber Gator in my back pocket really drove this one home. I also like aluminum grips, and the reverse tanto blade design. It works well for stripping large cables and wires. It has a point, but not a needle point. If I slip, it isn't in my liver before I can catch it. Add it all up, and the 940 is top dog for me, YMMV.
