. . . well . . . actually a traditional like the Case Trapper will cut like a knife should cut. The narrow (vertically speaking) blade profile will cut
curves better than the Bugout and because it is thinner than either one it will cut with less effort . . . in say hard leather or cardboard.
The tall blade on the Bugout might be good for cutting slices off a cucumber or batoning for vertical strength.
It doesn't but curves like a knife should but curves though.

And while we are on the subject of maneuverability (rolling the knife handle in one's grip to cut curves or at least change direction with ease and control) . . .
this is why I prefer the narrow (vertically) and fat (horizontally) handles; one can grip it in a two finger grip and it doesn't feel tippy

Those old dudes knew what they were doing with the Trapper. Other knives are a compromise in performance or just plane hype when it comes to a folding knife. Sure longer is better (some times) and thicker / taller blades are better . . . for . . . ohhhhh I don't know . . . hammering through nails or slaying Balrogs. I don't do much of that. (granted the tip of the 940 is a bit odd.)
The 940 allows one to roll the knife in the grip similar to the Trapper and like the Ti Lite shown bellow. Note the knife rolls a full 180° in the hand. I full flat ground the Ti Lite and these photos are of one I cut into a Wharncliffe.
This is how a user work knife should perform. This knife is not comfortable to carry in the pocket and requires a pouch as does the Trapper. But the 940 can perform like this and still fit in a pocket; partly because it is so darn light.
The Bugout fits on the pocket well; it wins there.
