Speedsafe Assisted
The Kershaw Blur folding knives come with lots of cool blade and handle styles. I decided to go with the assisted opening S30V blade style and my review will be based on that knife.
What I like about the knife:
1. S30V is one of the hottest knife steels on the market today. The reason why is that you get the edge retention and strength of high carbon steel with the corrosion and rust resistance of stainless.
2. Kershaw uses their speed safe assisted opening technology. As you start to open the knife, you will notice that it comes racing out of the handle with very little effort.
3. At 3 3/8 inches, the drop-point style blade is both practical and legal to carry. The blade’s shape makes it perfect for everyday utility work, or skinning by hunters.
4. The 6061-T6 anodized aluminum handle is very comfortable in your hand. For an extra secure grip, Kershaw uses coarse rubber-like inserts. This type of handle is perfect for military or law enforcement personnel who depend on a high quality grip.
5. My knife has no up and down or side to side movement when in the locked position. This is comforting because I’ve seen some assisted opening with poorly made locks.
What I didn’t like:
Although the pocket clip is adjustable for tip up or down carry, it is not ambidextrous. I would like to see this knife available for left handed carry.
Overall:
The Kershaw Blur proves that assisted opening knives are not simply novelty items. The overall construction and materials are top-notch and the price is very reasonable. Did I mention that they are made in the USA?
You can get a Kershaw Blur for $62.95 at http://www.KnifeSell.com
