## Description

Take a step up in the world of Kershaw Blurs with the S30V Blur. This Blur features a blade of S30V powdered stainless steel. Powdered steel is dense and fine-grained, enabling it to take and hold an extremely fine edge for a longer period of time. The steel exhibits excellent toughness, wear resistance and hardness. Like all Blurs, the S30V Blur has a slightly recurved blade that’s ideal for multitasking, providing top slicing and piercing capabilities. The S30V Blur has a stonewashed finish for a roughed-up, non-reflective look. You can look to Kershaw for everyday carrying knives that can tame any cardboard box and liberate any purchase from its plastic packaging, sporting knives that make hunting, fishing, watersports, and camping even better, work knives that won’t let you down, and tactical knives that ensure you’re ready for anything.

Review: High quality knife, great price point for what you get - This knife is very high quality and was razor sharp out of the box. I’ve had knives of all kinds and price points, and this one is great for the price. Looks great, has a shark blade, and the edge holds up well to standard use. The spring assist works great and helps to open quickly with just a small push. The grip is solid and feels great in my larger hands. Size and weight are great and feels light for this quality of a knife, but does not feel cheaply made because of the lighter weight. If needed, I would but this exact model again.
Review: An EDC Modern Classic Well Worth the Price - Kershaw's Blur is one of those designs that hardly seems to age a day and in my opinion remains just as relevant for EDC well after it first released in 2004, and it's been one of my go-to choices for a good reason. The anodized aluminum handles make this knife deceptively lightweight for the size and help to make it feel smaller than it actually is while in your pocket, and the rubber inserts on the handle offer plenty of grip without being so aggressive that they'll tear up your pockets. The blade comes hair shaving sharp right out of the box, and the 14c28n blades that come on most models is ridiculously easy to resharpen yourself if you don't feel like sending back to Kershaw for resharpening. The inset liner lock helps to cut down on weight in conjunction with the aluminum handles, and has been plenty strong even after years of use on the Blurs in my collection. Kershaw's "SpeedSafe" assisted opening system is very authoritative when deploying the blade, and definitely helps the Blur live up to its name. Interestingly, I would say the springs on the Blurs feels "gentler" than on other Kershaws I own, such as the Cryo and Link, but I'd say the spring system on the Blur perfectly nails the sweet spot for reliability while still being fairly easy to use. YMMV on the finish though. On older production Blurs with finishes on the blade, they feature a DLC coating on the blade, while current production models have Cerakote applied on the blades. I personally haven't noticed an appreciable performance difference between the two finishes on my Blurs, positive or negative, given my relatively pedestrian use for most of my folding knives, just something to keep in mind if that is something that matters to you for your needs. Honestly, the only real gripe I can offer to the Blur's design is a very minor and personal one, that being the long outdated pocket clip design being unfriendly for left-handers. Even 21+ years after its introduction, its still a right side only design, so your only options to adjust how you carry it is changing from tip up or tip down. I personally am somewhat ambi, but prefer using my blades left handed and carrying my blades in my left side front pocket in reflection of that, so it's a minor annoyance when I have to fiddle around to flip it over to the correct side to deploy the blade, but really it only takes me just an extra second. Beyond my minor complaint about the outdated ergonomics, it really is still one of the best EDC buys for the price even more than two decades after its introduction. Highly recommend the Blur for anyone looking for a nice, pocket friendly blade but doesn't want to spend big bucks on a Benchmade or even some of Kershaw's more premium offerings like the Launch series of automatic knives or the crossbar locking Bel-Air series. Here's to yet another two decades for the Blur!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What was the issue with the item that Amazon had to put a warning about the product?**
A: I haven't seen what the warning says (I looked around on the current listing and couldn't find it), but I'm guessing that it's because early in production, probably 10-15years ago, there was a report of someone pounding on one (I think they were literally stabbing something and hitting the knife with a hammer or board, I believe they broke it and had it close on their fingers resulting in some stitches.  I have a few, one dating back to I believe 2007, and although a bit worn I've never had any indications that the lock will fail, even in cases of somewhat abusive use.

**Q: Is this knife Made in Usa stamped still?**
A: This is an excellent knife solid body and blade really great quality I basically only get American made Gerber and Kershaw knives I use bladeops for my Gerber's especially the full auto's but this knife is American made pure and simple sppedsafe USA patent on handle and American made S30V stamped American flag laser etched on the handle

**Q: Can this knife be used left-handed?**
A: In my opinion yes. Pocket clip is on the right side up or down carry. Liner lock is on the left. Knife is assisted with thumb studs on both sides of the blade. Opening the knife right or left handed is easy and quick. I'm right handed and have practiced using the knife with my left hand and find no problem with one hand opening and closing the knife. The Blur is a fine knife.

**Q: what is the size of the blade?**
A: Blade length 3.4" per Kershaw

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great knife from Kershaw.
*by W***! on May 23, 2010*

I picked this one up at the local Wall-Mart for $65 and it was worth it. It opens lighting fast and has an nice grip feel to the handle. Very easy one handed operation, both opening and closing. I was lucky to get the one with the real toothy serrated blade, more like a saw. A great camping companion. Carries well in my pocket. Doesn't come out unless I want it to. It's razor sharp right out of the box. A nice addition to my collection. If you buy this knife I'm sure you will like it. I'm updating this review because I think it's very important to stress the Kershaw difference. Yes, that sounds like an advertisement, and it was meant to be. I have had such great response from Kershaw that I've decide to become a reseller of their knives. They are simply the best with regards to customer service. Now let's start by saying that no one, and I mean no one can make a perfect knife. They all will have defects from time to time. If you get one that slipped through the cracks and wasn't up to specs You would want a refund or a replacement, right? That's what Kershaw does and more. They will communicate with you directly and they will do what ever it takes to make you a satisfied customer. I have dealt with other knife companies and have run into brick walls. NOT Kershaw! They go the extra mile to keep you coming back for more. So, what about this knife? It is what you would expect for a knife in this price range. It has a low failure rate. It is well built and in 99.99% of the time will not need to be returned or replaced do to a defective item (that's about one in 10,000). I own a lot of Kershaw knives and I have received a few duds. They were all replace or repaired at no cost to me. So when you're thinking of getting a knife. Ask yourself one very important question. If I get a bad one, can I get my money back, or get a new one? The answer when it comes to Kershaw is, undeniably, YES! One more thing. Kershaw is one of the only knife companies that I know if that offers FREE sharpening. Just send the knife to them and they will restore the blade to a razor sharp edge at no charge other then the cost of shipping it to them (about $10). They even cover the return shipping cost. I could go on and on, needless to say, buy a Kershaw knife and most likely, you'll want to but another one. I did with this one.
