Todd Isa 53 Aug 23, 2014 “Up for grabs is a discontinued, very clean Starkey Ridge model 1410 with Titanium scales and ATS 34 steel blade! I love this knife, but need to make room for others. My need for $$$ = your benefit. This knife is in amazing shape. Only a small mark from the clip. See pics. I have had this knife since I bought it brand new from the dealer in the late 1990's. It was THE high end knife for me back in the day! This Starkey has been in its original molded box with original packaging for 10 years in my safe! I never really carried it. It has super strong and early lockup and perfect blade centeredness! Oh, and it is stupid sharp... factory edge! $100 Shipped to your door Specs: (Blade) Steel - ATS-34 Handle - Black G-10 Blade - 3" Closed - 4" Weight - 3.1 oz” 2) KERSHAW'S G-10 ATS-34 Oct 28, 1998 #3 “I have been the happy owner of the identical knife (Starkey Ridge) with Titanium scales. Its a mystery to me that it doesn't get more attention. The quality of my knife was flawless from the box. The blade shape and ergonomics of the handle show excellent design. I have done the r.k liner lock FAQ test, and it passes with flying colors. The knife comes with spare screws and nylon bushings, and directions for disassembly. The ATS-34 comes from Kershaw incredibly sharp, and rarely need resharpening. Although I have no other knives from Kershaw, if they make them all of this quality, they're a superior alternative to Benchmade. (My only Benchmade came unevenly ground.) And Benchmade's warranty is voided if you disassemble their knives... My Ti-34 is my constant pocket companion, and I'm buying a good friend the G-10 version for Christmas... "When you care enough to give the very best..." ******************
