The grip on this knife is also very good, featuring an almost soft rubbery silicone grip tape along the outside that helps you keep a tight grip on your knife. My Blur doesn’t have serrated edges, but I’ve heard from other users that the serrations are wicked sharp. Its small frame makes it easy to palm and keep slightly concealed, but the blade is long enough and sharp enough to be useful for both everyday situations and self-defense purposes. The Ken Onion Blur is really perfectly-sized too. It only takes a little bit of thumb pressure, which even my arthritic grandfather could muster to open this knife. The thumb studs are very well-crafted, allowing the Blur to be opened in, well, a blur. This is a spring-assist opener that has wonderful deployment speed, flipping the blade open in a fraction of a second with ease. Also, you may be lucky enough to get your hands on one of the coveted Blue Kershaw Blur’s which were produced in limited quantities back in 2008.īefore I get into the meat here let me say that one of the nicest features of the Blur without doubt is the SpeedSafe opening mechanism. Kershaw also manufactures a model with a modified tanto blade, partially serrated, for more tactical purposes. More advanced models of the Blur include the Glassbreaker, which has a carbide tip built into the handle for breaking windows, a top end model with a nice S30V powdered stainless steel blade, and a black DLC coated blade. It also comes with a variety of handle colors too, including the olive drab model that I purchased as well as desert sand, red, and black. The Blur pocket knife is available with either a smooth blade or a serrated blade.
The weight is just over 4 ounces so it’s a little on the heavier side for an EDC.Īs with many of their other offerings, Kershaw spoils you for choice on this one too. It has the SpeedSafe opener, a liner lock locking mechanism, and a pocket clip that can be adjusted to have the tip of the knife either up or down. The handle on my model is olive drab, made of 6061-T6 anodized aluminum with Trac-tec inserts. The model I reviewed is constructed of Sandvik’s decent 14C28N stainless steel, and features a 3-3/8” smooth blade. Once the blade is clear of the handle, the torsion bar moves along the track and takes over, flipping the blade the rest of the way open smoothly until it locks into place. To open the knife, you apply pressure to the thumb stud and rotate the blade out of the handle. However, what sets this aside from many is that it features the SpeedSafe opening system and a torsion bar that helps keep the knife locked. The Ken Onion Blur looks very similar to several other modern pocket knives these days, with its tactical-style appearance and discreet pocket clip.
