flarp,
Thank you for the great info. Just what I was looking for.
chucknduck,
I understand where you're coming from but slicing ability is only one parameter of the knife comparisons, it is not the only parameter. Slicing ability is the one parameter I couldn't find satisfactory info on. I too dislike the Black blade on the 804. I am also having a hard time getting around flippers and ball bearings.
wensynch,
I love the tip on the 810. I don't find myself stabbing things very often. The blade shape on my 940s is my very favorite. I prefer strong tips to pointy tips.
sharp_edge,
I agree about the negatives of a blade that is too thin but I don't believe any of these particular blades qualify. I don't use folding knives for the examples that you gave. I have other tools and knives for that.
Thanks to everyone for the great responses
