My wife has been through all my knives and her pick was a benchmade mini bugout.
She didn't like the liner lock folders because of her hand being where the blade folds to close it. She greatly prefers the axis lock on the benchmade.
I think stuff like a liner lock we take for granted as constant knife fiddlers but folks who only occasionally use them feel better keeping your fingers out of the way.
She also keeps a victorinox classic on her keyring that she uses all the time
