The Kershaw Ken Onion Blur is a mid-sized assisted opening blade. With a reversible clip, slanted thumbstuds, and a liner-lock, it provides lightning-fast one-handed draw and close. With a 3 3/8 inch blade and weighing in at only 4.2 ounces, it is perfect for carry. While marketed as a law enforcement/military knife, the Blur’s one flaw is it’s limited traction for the thumb making the knife not quite the best tactical option. That’s not to say it can’t be used. If opting for the matt black version, the 1670BLK comes in a very sharp and durable steel(Sandvik 14C28N) and has very comfortable, Trac-Tec inserts which work just as the name implies. This will forever be one of my favorite assisted opening knives and it is highly recommended. 9/10(Highly Recommended) Constructive Criticism and Knife Feedback is welcome!

Fast steel at an incredible price,
I have hundreds of tactical folders to compare this knife to and it stands up superbly. It’s build quality is outstanding, opens quickly and easily, quality of the steel is adequate, the blade shape is attractive and useful, the grip is comfortable and much improved over earlier version (they had sand paper, current version has thin rubber inserts), and Kershaw’s service and support is perfect.
In my duty use in the military, I have used Blurs for several years and they always impress. For $55 you should buy several and give them as heirloom gifts. Other knives with these features and opening speed, including automatics like Microtech and ProTech, will cost three times as much. A great knife that will last forever with care.

|Tactical Magic,
Fun, cool, outstanding, fast, well built, ok ok I get it on with the review.
Best Tactical folder I own. here’s why
Upside;
1. Fastest assisted opener I’ve seen. A little thumb pressure on the really well crafted thumb studs and “smack”. Opens in a “blur”.
2. Blade stregth is superb. Arrives sharp, stays sharp, and cuts with ease.
3. Perfect size. Extremely comfertable in the hand.
4. The grip is very good. An almost soft rubbery silicone grip tape along the outside will not allow you to let go.
5. Pre drilled holes for tip up or tip down carry.
6. If you get the Blur with the partially serrated edges, the serrations are wicked sharp.
7. Well built, put it through abuse fella’s just don’t get stupid with it.
Downside;
1. Thumb jimping is pretty weak, however, the grip tape works.
2. The pocket clip is reallllly tight. Tough to draw from the pocket without bringing your pocket with it.
Overall, I own several, buy it. Its great. It is the one knife I take everyday on duty. I refuse to leave my patrol car without it. Good job Kershaw.

|Blur is Superb,
It took me a minute to understand the right way to open this knife, it’s not like the Chive or Leek. Once I did, OH YEAH; just push straight forward with your thumb and this thing is Black Lightning. The grip is such that you could hold onto the knife if it was covered in grease. I love all of Ken Onion’s designs but this is the best one yet from Kershaw.
