Kershaw Blur Black (1670BLK) Everyday Carry Pocketknife, 3.4 inch Stainless Steel Drop Point Blade, Cerakote Blade Finish, SpeedSafe Opening, Reversible Pocketclip; 3.9 OZ

This is my 3rd purchase of a Kershaw Blur. I initially purchased one for myself, and the other two I’ve given away as gifts over the last year. It’s one of the more affordable knives from an excellent company and more importantly they’re MADE IN THE USA. They come razor sharp, have strong locking mechanism, and the assisted opening makes it snap open and feel like a solid knife when locked in place with the liner lock securing the blade safely open. It has a deep carry pocket clip and best of all, like most quality knives is that it carries with the tip up.Both Blurs that I’ve given away the recipients have been ecstatic. 10/10 would recommend, again, and again, and again.

This is my fourth time buying this exact knife. I love it. It's my daily driver. If you're wondering why I have purchased four, it isn't because of issues with the knives themselves. I had to give one up because I forgot to take it out of my pocket going through security, one I broke the tip off of using it to pry something that I should have used a different tool for but was too lazy and in a rush to bother getting (learned that lesson the hard way) and one got lost somewhere. The last one I purchased before this one I had for quite a while. It's a great size and easy to carry clipped to your front pocket. The handle is textured so you can get a good grip on it even when your hands are wet, the spring assisted opening mechanism is solid (although it does seem to lose a little speed with age), it's not serrated so it's easy to sharpen, it's not reflective so it doesn't draw attention and freak people out when you pull it out to open a box or cut something and it has a reversible clip so you can tailor it to whatever is more comfortable for you (I find that reversing the clip from the factory position to the other end of the knife is better for me, but it's a personal preference). Great and useful knife.Pros* Very well made* Easy to carry*Adjustable reversible clip*Non-reflective matte surface*Textured non-slip handle*Easy to sharpenCons*Spring assisted opening device loses a little speed with time (but that's normal).

Observed some online reviews and video reviews of this blade and took the plunge. Love that it's American Made, Kershaw has a good reputation for general quality knife maker. This isn't a high end EDC knife, but I don't wince when I knick it, have to hammer with it, or use it in any hard use situation or fashion other than what it's made for.The lock-up was getting a little loose, hardly noticeable but there, sent it back to Kershaw (on my dime of course) with a note. I got it back a week later, they replaced all internals, put a wicked edge on it, and this things locks up tighter than any gerber or spyderco I've had, and they are great knife companies too! I can put up with shipping it to get super customer service like that, they earned a customer for life. I can put a VERY good edge on this with a basic knife sharpening kit in a few minutes. I like that this sharpens easily and well because I've had hit and miss luck with sharpening knives in the past. I had a spyderco centofante 3 before this, it took a good edge with just a diamond sharpening block, but I think this is better.I'm also VERY happy with the handle texture, again better to my preference than previous spyderco endura texture, really good valcano texturing. The clip is super tough and whereas my centofante 3 clip screw holes stripped out quickly, this thing remains rock solid.Deployment is different than the two previous spyderco models I listed. The spring assist really works best when you don't work as hard. I near cut my finger off when I tried to assist the blade open the entire path of the opening. It's designed for more of a short flick of the thumb to start the blade open, and the spring mechanism really whips it open from there. It's super slick, very fast, and I love it!The thumb stud sticks out for a really good perch for easy opening, the trade off is if you wear it with some close fitting shorts or pants without a shirt tucked between it, you can really notice it. I ran with this knife inside my running shorts one summer day, the thumb stud dug a small hole into my side, ouch. In regular carry with jeans in a 4-5 o'clock position, even without a shirt tucked in, it's alright, but it really shines in a pocket for me.

First things first this pocket knife in my opinion is all cracked up to what its supposed to be. I am very happy I decided to purchase it. Number one it is absolutely a beautiful black beauty. Number two it is very well built and super solid. The belt clip is super strong and tight. The assisted open feature is magnificent! Also it is super easy to unlock which i really like! Finally number three this knife is the sharpest damn pocket knife I have ever owned. I am not exaggerating when i say this knife comes RAZOR RAZOR sharp! You can literally shave your face, legs, arms or any other part of your body you'd like. I am absolutely stunned how sharp this knife really is. To all future buyers, be very careful when handling this knife. It can do serious damage if you are careless with it.With all that being said I highly recommend this knife to any responsible person who is really looking for a well crafted, hand and shart AF pocket knife!! Thanks Kershaw for a great product! And thanks Amazon for a great price. Oh by the way it costs double on the manufacturers website!!! Thanks again AMAZON!!!
