I've wanted to get the 940 for a long time. kulgera looks nice but I think blade shape is too goofy. I don't like the tanto on the 940 either so it's the 943 for me.
 
Gotta go with the kulgera. Always liked the way it looked. Its more of a personal taste thing though.
 
I don't like aluminum handles so the Kulgera for me. The 710 looks similar and is more popular. Just a thought.
 
I had a Kulgera. Gave it to my brother. Nice looking knife, but kept biting my palm when flipping it shut.



I have a 940 and a 943. Cant go wrong with either.

I havent held a 960, but it looks too similar to the 930 for me. No thanks.
 
You've got 3 different sizes of knives there. The 960 is nice, gentlemanly, but I personally found it to be too small in my hand. I love the 940. I carry a 940D2CF a great deal of the time, and my favorite knife (although I never carry it) is a 940Ti-01. It fits my hand great, and I like the blade shape, and the length is just right for me. I haven't picked up a Kulgera yet, but I really want one. I like that the Kulgera has G10 handles, since I'm also not a fan of aluminum handles, unless they're HAIII anodized (the BM's aren't), which is why my 940's are CF or Ti.

Hold each one if you can, and see which one fits you the best.
 
Since they're in the same Osborne family, if you don't mind the anodised aluminum the 940 delivers an awesome blade. For the G-10 set, the 930 offers great looks and cool blade. The 960 is smaller than the first two, and I consider it to be more of a gentleman's knife.

My vote still goes to the 940, as classic in many ways as the 710 in any flavor.
