Suggestions to replace a Kershaw 2410ST pocket knife

Kershaw began its foray into the knife business sometime during 1974. The company was originally based in Portland Oregon, but most early knives were manufactured in Japan. The first US manufacturing plant was opened in 1997 & the company currently offers knives made in the U.S., Japan, & China. Pete Kershaw (an ex Gerber salesman) started the business.

Suggestions to replace a Kershaw 2410ST pocket knife

Post by touchton »

I've carried a Kershaw 2410ST pocket knife for the last 15 or 20 years. Kershaw discontinued the knife a few years ago and I bought an extra one. I've recently lost one and now I'm down to my last 2410ST. I need some suggestions on what's a good replacement. The things I like are the size (about 3" closed), the locking blade, lightweight, and the ability to open and close the knife with one hand. The 2410ST has a partially serrated blade, but that isn't important to me. The first one I had was a straight blade.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for a good replacement.

Thanks.

First of all, let me welcome you to AAPK.

Maybe another 2410ST?

Or if you're looking for something a little bit different, how about a Kershaw Scallion. 3-1/2" closed with SpeedSafe assisted opening. (you'll love it)

Or maybe my favorite, the Kershaw Leek. Yeah, it's 4" closed but it doesn't feel like a big knife and it too has the SpeedSafe AO.

If you feel more comfortable with a smaller knife, there's always the Kershaw Chive. Only 2-7/8" closed but sporting the Kershaw SpeedSafe AO.

Yeah, I know I sound like a one note Charlie but I have a very high regard for the Kershaws and the SpeedSafe AO system.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. Make sure you let us know once you get it.

I received the knife a couple of days ago. It's a great knife! I'm sure I'll get lots of good use out of it.

Thanks again for your help with this.
