Kershaw’s 1670S30V Blur is a sleek, good-looking, premium everyday carry. The Blur’s 3.4-inch premium stainless steel blade is made with S30V powdered steel, featuring excellent toughness, resistance to corrosion and wear, and long-term edge retention. The slightly recurved blade exhibits exceptional slicing and piercing capabilities for convenient use in almost any situation. The basic black anodized aircraft aluminum handle is machined for Trac-Tec grip-tape, providing secure gripping power in a variety of conditions. The anodizing process gives the handle its superior strength and toughness while providing excellent resistance to scratches and fading. SpeedSafe assisted opening gives the Blur S30V smooth, fast, one-hand operation with the blade’s thumbstud, and a secure liner lock ensures the blade will safely stay open during use. A reversible pocketclip allows for tip-up or tip-down carry, and a pre-drilled handle allows attachment to a lanyard, for versatile carrying capacity. Bullet feature 1 (optional) : Manufactured with premium materials and built to last a lifetime.Most knife injuries occur because the user has a poor grip on the knife. Kershaw’s Blur knife solves the problem with its unique anodized aluminum handle, which features advanced materials designed to provide a safe, secure grip every time–even under extreme conditions. In addition, the handle is CNC-machined to accept Trac-Tec inserts, giving your hand an even grippier surface. The Blur also sports the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. Invented by celebrated knife maker Ken Onion, the SpeedSafe system lets users smoothly and easily deploy the stone-washed, stainless-steel blade with either the left or right hand. This makes it ideal for sporting and work situations in which one-handed opening is easier and safer, such as when hunting, fishing, or working with your hands on the jobsite.

Finally, the Blur comes with a Kershaw pocket clip, which is meant to be clipped with the handle on the inside of your pocket. The clip is not to be worn on a belt, as this is an unsafe way to carry your knife.

The SpeedSafe assisted opening system lets you smoothly deploy the blade with 1 hand. About the SpeedSafe System
The patented SpeedSafe knife-opening system helps users open the knife by applying manual pressure to the thumb stud or blade protrusion. The heart of the SpeedSafe system–which is built into many of Kershaw’s best-selling knives–is its torsion bar, which keeps gravity from opening the knife. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its half-moon track and takes over, smoothly opening the blade and locking it into position, ready for use. Although they may look similar at first glance, SpeedSafe knives are not considered switchblades. Unlike a switchblade, SpeedSafe knives do not deploy with the push of a button in the handle or by gravity alone. Instead, the user must manually overcome the torsion bar’s resistance, putting the knives outside the federal definition of a switchblade. However, it’s the responsibility of the buyer to investigate and comply with the laws and regulations that apply in his or her specific area. Buyers should rest assured, however, that SpeedSafe knives are extremely safe, as they open only when the user manually deploys them, and lock securely into position when open so they don’t close accidentally.

Knife Maker Ken Onion
A master of his trade, Ken Onion is one of the most sought-after custom knife makers in the industry. His custom knives can be found in the most prestigious private knife collections as well in as in the pockets of his dedicated customers. Ken’s involvement in the knife trade dates back to his time in Palestine, West Virginia, where he was inspired at the age of 12 by Vernon Ott, a local blacksmith and maker of garden tools and knives. In the ensuing years, Ken joined the U.S. Marine Corps and worked in such fields as construction, heavy equipment repair, and hydraulics repair, always with an eye toward eventually designing the perfect knife. In November of 1991, Ken met Stan Fujisaki, a talented knife maker who agreed to teach him the tricks of the trade. After years of preparation–and some inspiration while working on a Harley cam for a friend–Ken created his first SpeedSafe knife. Today, Ken designs a custom selection of knives for Kershaw, many featuring the patented SpeedSafe torsion bar system for assisted opening. Ken is personally involved throughout the design and manufacturing process to ensure that each knife meets his high standards for performance and quality.

A fantastic blade, I have been using a Smith and … A fantastic blade, I have been using a Smith and Wesson knife as an EDC for years upon years and was perfectly content with it. My buddy convinced me to but the Blur and I will never go back to the S&W. This came razor sharp, and keeps its edge beautifully. I have been using it for a week and due to work am cutting things open often, this blade has not dulled one bit. Highly recommend!

Best value assisted open EDC pocket knife! Keyshawn Blur is the best value assisted open pocket knife! Not a whole lot else to say. Great spring action on the open. It is easy to close and has a slim profile, perfect for EDC. The scales have just the right grip needed without any possibility of wear and tear on your clothing. I own two of these myself, but bought this one for EDC for my daughter in college.

If I could only have one knife for Hiking and Hunting, this is it, S30V steel great quality at price, holds edge w/ best steels One of the least expensive knives w/ S30V steel. Holds an edge as well as my D2 steel sheath knife. Great design, fit and finish are better on this one than another Blur I have. I have probably 15 Kershaw knifes. Some Japanese made over 30 years old (Folding Field III), all still function. If I could have just one knife for hunting and hiking, this would be it. Solid and fast opening, large enough to use for anything, great blade shape for cutting rope or straps. Great grip when cold and wet…
