Suggestions to replace a Kershaw 2410ST pocket knife

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.
Thad

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.

Perfect! I'm going to order a Kershaw Leek and see if it fits the bill.

Thanks for the suggestions.

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.
