Kershaw Blur

[nate77]

My first real knife, bought back in February of 2013, it has aged well, but has been playing second fiddle since autos became legal in Indiana. Dug it out of the drawer, and sharpened it on my new Pro PA, forgot how much I like the Blur, going to start carrying it again.

One of their flagship models, the Blur is good knife for sure. Looks very good for being just over 10 years old too

It is on its second blade, I broke the crap out of the first one, Kershaw replaced it, no problem.

The finish holds up very well too, my newer Kershaw autos look way worse.

I have one in my pocket right now. Blade has some knicks in it, but it does what I need.

A Blur in S30v has been my work carry knife for a few years now. It has opened paint cans and broken down countless boxes and a lot of other stuff in between. Could use sharpened, the tip is gone, looks a bit worse than yours. But still keeps going.

Sharpens easily, holds an edge, not too big but not too small. The Blur was my EDC knife for many years until one day I got careless when one-handed closing the blade using the side of my leg. Closed it right on my thumb and ended up with 6 stitches right through my thumb nail. It was so sharp at the time, I didn’t even feel it right away.

I bought a tanto blur in October of 2005. Carried everyday since. The assist spring broke about two weeks ago. 6 days later had a free spring from kershaw and back in action. Great knives and customer service.

Imma say… your insurance company doesn’t like you very much!, that looks very painful and I hope it healed quickly

It was more annoying than anything. That Kershaw was sharp! I barely felt it. That’s where I have to give credit to Kershaw. I only went to urgent care after it wouldn’t stop bleeding after 2 hours. The doc numbed it good and I never felt the stitches. The worst part was that after the doc bandaged me up, I had to walk around with a phallus on my thumb for over a week.

Kershaw has great customer service. I’ve had two blades replaced since I’m a notorious knife abuser, I’ve used the free sharpening service a time or two. I had a ZT 0350, that I couldn’t get centered, I sent it back for centering. I’ve also gotten Speed Safe, and Auto springs, since I’ve had both break; they usually send extra spares too.
