At the $200 mark, you've got soooo many options. From my experience, yes, you can take the tux off the deer, as pops called it, with the 940. But I would certainly lean towards a bigger knife, with a bigger handle specifically. The 551 is pretty bullet proof, and relatively cheap. The Rift (950) is also not bad in terms of price, size, and carrying. I seriously doubt any Benchmade you buy won't last for a very long time. Same with Zero Tolerance, although I think you'll find most of their stuff is a bit more cumbersome to carry, especially in a back pocket. Haven't used my grip to dress a deer, but I can say for sure, the Para 2 makes a deer jump outta it's skin, although like everyone else has said, it's not a space-saver in the pocket.
Overall, I think any Benchmade you choose will serve you well, but the 551 and the 950 would be my top choices.
G'luck.
