I own Benchmades with the Axis lock and I don’t prefer it at all. I find the Axis difficult to use. I also have a few Kershaw Specbumps that have a Stud Lock that I love even though it’s smaller. There’s also the button lock, which I do not prefer.
Another great lock is the Spyderco compression lock. I like it on the ATR but not the Paramilitary.
It really depends on the model not necessarily on the lock type for me.
