All the BM axis locks are super smooth in my experience.I just got a 940 s30v yesterday in a trade for an emerson horseman.Not fond of the chisel grind.

I carried an axis for years before I finally went back to a fixed blade (S5LE). The mechanism was one of the best IMHO. After 7 years of daily use, it finally developed a little slop. That probably amounts to 10,000+ opening cycles. Not bad for something that got little to no regular maintenance.
