Kershaw 3410ST Pocket Knife.

[New_Windsor_NY]

This morning, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It becomes my first example to be posted under this new topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. This is only my second Kershaw pocket knife. It did get added to my general, "foreign born" pocket knife accumulation. It is a Kershaw (CHINA), 3410ST, one blade (partially serrated), five blade etches, one pocket or belt clip etch, 3 7/8" closed, liner lock, pocket knife. The blade front etch says, "kershaw" The four blade back etches say, "3410ST KAI", "8Cr13MoV", "RJ Martin Design" and "CHINA" The pocket or belt clip etch says, "kershaw" The pocket or belt clip can be moved so the pocket knife can be carried with the point down or carried with the point up. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Skip I sometimes carry a Chinese Kershaw assisted opener as a ‘get off me’ knife when traveling and concealed carrying. And I’ve everyday carried several USA Kershaw over the years. None of them have let me down in regards to quality. The knife you have pictured looks to be a good form for actual use and the quality is no doubt good.
Despite having to swallow back my initial distaste, I’m finding modern Chinese knives are very suitable for many purposes. This weekend I’ll be going to Florida for a few days of fishing. I’ll be carrying a Rough Ryder Reserve stockman with bottle opener in one pocket and a Kizer Splinter flipper with a wicked edge and point in the other. The RR is the best stockman I’ve ever had. And the Kizer is ideal for convenience on the boat when trimming knots and cutting lines. Goes to prove times and opinions change.

To the OP, I would suggest the reversible clip is not to give the user a choice of carrying tip up or tip down but rather left pocket or right pocket as it is crucial to keep an assisted flipper blade against the seam of your pants to prevent accidental opening and injury.
