The Griptillian would be my choice, because it gives me *most* or the things that I love about my Wegner clipit but in a lighter package (3oz less helps with dress slacks) and an axis lock. The AFCK is a great knife, and probably the best fighter of the bunch, but I prefer the blunter,deeper blade and fuller handle of the Griptillian for most daily cutting chores. It just fits better, and the blade cuts like crazy, even though it will take a little more stroping/honing to keep it really scary sharp. I normally strop mine on the back of an old belt every day or so for a couple of passes, and then touch up the edge once a week on the Sharpmaker with the ultrafine stones.
If you like the Military you would probably like the AFCK. Both liner locks, both nice big knives, both VERY secure grips. I have owned and used both , and prefer the Military slightly to the AFCK; the flat ground blade of the Military seems to cut a little better for me. However, my AFCK as ATS34, not D2, and I suspect the D2 would hold an edge much better and that might make up a little for the better geometry on the Military.
Only had a 710 breifly, and a Starmate for slightly longer, but never really felt comfortable with either of them for heavy use. Hard to explain exactly, but i prefer a more definite guard / swell & finger grove to the sleeker handles on these two, and I felt like the moved in my hand a little too much, but that may just be me. I had my left index finger nearly cut off once (literally) and tend to be a little paranoid about these things.
No experience with the 942, but the ones I have played with seem well designed and made. Plan to trade for or buy a 940 one of these days.
