Kershaw Blur, Glassbreaker Folding Knife (1670BGBBLKST); Partially Serrated 3.4” 14C28N Steel Blade, Anodized Aluminum Handle with Trac-Tec Grip, Glassbreaker Tip, SpeedSafe Opening, Pocketclip;4 OZ.

I love Kershaw knives, and I love the Blur most of all. BUT, something was fishy about the S30v I received. I have owned and handled quite a few genuine Kershaw products over the years. One thing is always true; the blade always has the model number and steel type engraved somewhere on the blade. The Blur I received had no markings anywhere on the blade. I contacted Kershaw and asked them what this could mean. They told me that either the blade is counterfeit, or it was a replacement blade. Either way they told me that it was doubtful that they would be able to offer warranty services if anything went wrong. Maybe I just got a bad copy, but whatever the reason,I returned it and ordered it from an “authorized” Kershaw dealer.

This is an excellent knife. I have the S30V steel version, and I highly recommend it. The action is fast and intuitive. The blade is lower visibility and holds a good edge. The sharpening is very reasonable as there are no serrations to complicate the process. I carry this every day in a law enforcement capacity. It has been with me for just over a year, and I've sharpened it 1 time. Most of the time it is liberating tape from boxes or cutting zip ties. However, I would not hesitate to use this as a last stand or defensive knife. The G10 textured grip is excellent and doesn't slip in gloves or with sweaty hands.You don't need to buy a dozen knives for all of the possible applications. Find one that fits your pocket size, has an agreeable carry weight, and gives you some aesthetic pleasure visually. For me, the design of this knife does all of those things.

This knife has more pros than cons. This is what's good:1. I love the blade shape and size, and it is made from a really good midrange steel.2. The handle/body is low profile (and by this I mean relatively THIN), making it a nice carry in the pocket.3. At 3.9 oz it is a relatively LIGHT knife for its size.4. I was worried about some of the negative reviews regarding the locking mechanism easily giving way, and the liner lock indeed does NOT seem to catch much of the blade base. However, I've tested my Blur against fairly strong pressure, and the blade does not seem to budge at all.5. The blade opens beautifully with the assisted opening and well-placed thumb studs.6. There has been no blade play since I received my Blur: it remains solid & wiggle-free, with light usage thus far.7. The blade closes smoothly and it sits perfectly centered in the handle when closed.8. The blue aluminum makes for a striking look (I wish i could find the older red version).9. I do NOT find the Trac-Tec inserts to be too sticky for smooth pocket removal/insertion.10. Made in USA: i believe things should LAST if you take care of them, so appreciate the Blur's being made in the USA: I don't hate my Chinese made CRKT, but I'd much rather own fewer knives of better quality than a bunch of less expensive cheaply-made knives that are more likely to have chronic little issues and perhaps fall apart, relegating them to the camp-kitchen box with my Swiss Army knives (because of a loose blade or screws on the handle coming loose, for example). As a point of clarity, I really like my Swiss army knives and they've held up nicely for many years, but they just are not designed for everyday carry.All that being said, the Blur has some issues that prevent me from purchasing another (I would otherwise have liked to own a few of these in different colors), at least not until I see that some upgrades have been made. First and foremost I have a problem with the thumb studs (you'll see similar complaints throughout the reviews of different colored Blurs). The thumb studs are angled, presumably for leverage; this is a nice idea, but unfortunately it is poorly executed. The studs angle up to a relatively sharp point, AND they are roughly grooved like a metal file. While none of this bothers my thumbs when deploying the blade, the sharp points and the rough edges do catch on my pockets with insertion and removal (unless performed slowly and carefully).A fast & easy draw is important to me, but I don't want to destroy my clothing more quickly than necessary, so THESE THUMB STUDS REALLY DETRACT FROM THE BLUR'S USEFULNESS AS A POCKET KNIFE. And if you prefer tip-up carry (as I do), don't even bother moving the clip, since tip-up positioning would only result in the sharp little thumb studs traveling deeper into your pocket, thereby being even more likely to destroy your pants as the knife is either being drawn or put-away.A secondary issue for me personally is the position of the clip holes for tip-up carry; I wish they were drilled closer to the tip of the handle, for a deeper pocket carry (the lanyard hole is not only useless to me, but it sits at the tip, in the way of this being possible). In contrast, check out the Benchmade Barrage and its smartly-placed lanyard hole.Again, I do like the Blur, but NOT enough to purchase another one. Kershaw really needs to (1) shave a fraction of an inch off the angled tip of the thumb studs so that they no longer come to a sharp point, and polish these tips down so they're smooth, and (2) smoothen-up the flat faces of the studs, leaving them LIGHTLY textured. As it is now the thumb studs can double as the best nail file you've ever owned; in fact, if these studs were any larger you could probably use them to finish the edge on a freshly cut piece of sheet metal. This is simply unnecessary.That degree of abrasion is certainly not conducive to using the Blur without tearing your clothing to shreds. Mind you, this is supposed to be a pocket knife, NOT A RASP! Thank you, but I have plenty of those in my shop already.

Bought this in 2011 and it's now 2018, so I guess I can review it. Great knife but a bit large for EDC. It's the kind of blade that makes the ladies gasp when you break it out to help open their Xmas gifts and remark about how large and rigid your knife is. And the male relatives start making Crocodile Dundee jokes to compensate. Seriously--I couldn't make this stuff up.Pros: I love the big beautiful, wide blades like this one and the Spydercos even though you sacrifice pocketability. Knife still in great shape after 7 years. Quality construction--never a problem. Deployment mechanism still works like new. Overall couldn't be happier with its knifely characteristics.Cons: The slight recurve makes sharpening a little more challenging but not a deal-breaker. As others have mentioned, the thumb studs are sharp and scrape against your knuckles when retrieving (it does hurt). Also the textured grips can make your pockets turn inside out before you can get it out. I prefer something a little smaller, thinner, and smoother for an EDC such as the Leek, Chive, or even Gerber STL 2.5, depending on khaki slacks or jeans. Plus I work in a school, and people get a little weird if I pull this thing out around their children <shrug>. (One time, though, I erred on carrying something too small, and my female coworker never let me live down my itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie knife. Not sure why women always feel compelled...)So, as a result of all these considerations, I do love the knife, but I prefer to keep it lying around where I can just pick it up to use instead of carrying it in my pocket. This knife has been living in the door compartment of my truck for several years now in case I get car-jacked.Verdict: Highly recommended, but not as EDC

Su mecanismo es simple y muy efectivo, no lleva resortes para la apertura asistida Kershaw speedsafe.Muy bien afilado de fábrica.Ampliamente recomendado, sobre todo por el precio, difícilmente podría conseguirse algo mejor.

Compre un par de estas exceletes navajas, por que ya he tenido exactamente el mismo modelo y con el mismo metal, Sandvick (14c28N) es una clase excelente de metal por la retención de filo que te brinda, te recomiendo rebajarle un poco al thumb stud para que no te raspe, pero te puedo asegurar que una vez que compres esta preciosura, jamas regresaras a ninguna otra de menor rango, es una excelente herramienta para cargarse todos los dias, habiendo dicho eso, quiero comprar otras 4 en cuanto bajen el precio otra vez, subieron un poco y pues ya no me gusto el precio, pero si vuelven a bajar, en cuanto lo hagan comprare 4, cualquier pregunta aqui estamos a la orden (por cierto que tienen filo como de navaja de rasurar, LITERALMENTE, ahi estan las fotos jaja)

Nach einiger Suche im Internet nach einem geeigneten Messer bin ich auf die Firma Kerschaw gestoßen.Auswahl gibt es ohne Ende, daher habe ich die Suche schnell eingegrenzt, es sollte einen Bereich mit Wellenschliff sowie eine Möglichkeit zu Verwendung als "Nothammer" haben.Zur Verabeitung:Absolut makellos, jedes Einzelteil passt perfekt zu den anderen. Der gesamte Eindruck ist durchaus elegant, speziell durch die dunkle Klinge und das geschwungene Design der Seiten. Diese sind sehr rau, dadurch hat man das Messer aber auch nasser sicher in der Hand. Im Prinzip fühlt es sich wie ein Schleifpapier mit Gummi überzogen.Die Klinge ist ordentlich scharf geschliffen, dennoch hält sie schon erstaunlich lange scharf. Offensichtlich wurde ein guter Kompromiss zwischen Schärfe und Haltbarkeit bereits in der Fabrik gewählt. Das selbe gilt für den Sägebereich, wobei ich diesen hauptsächlich für Seile/Taue verwende.Die Spitze zum Glassbrechen ist zweifellos sehr hart, aber nicht zu spitz, in der Hosentasche/am Gürtel kein Problem.Zum Handling:Eine Forderung war die Bedienung mit nur einer Hand, egal ob links oder rechts. Beides funktioniert problemlos, schnell und ohne zu starken "Rückstoß". Es öffnet sich nur unter Druck mit dem Daumen, daher habe ich keine Bedenken durch eine unabsichtliche Öffnung der Klinge. Es lieht gut in der Hand, die Größe würde ich, ausgenommen größere Männerhände, als optimal einstufen. Auch kleinere Hände können das Messer problemlos öffnen und führen.Der Clip ist relativ hart gefedert, was vollkommen in Ordung ist, so verliert man auch im laufen nie das Messer. Zudem lässt sich die Position des Clips an eine zweite verändern, eine Anleitung zur optimalen Postion liegt bei.Im Gesamten bin sehr zufrieden, die Erwartungen wurden allesamt erfüllt bzw zum Teil übertroffen.

Muy buena navaja con excelentes materiales se siente muy cómoda en la mano el filo es sensacional, Solamente pongan atención a la descripción ya que en las imágenes de la "Black Serrated" muestra una navaja con punta tipo TANTO cuando en realidad es punta estío DROP POINT serrada. el error fue mio por no revisar bien el modelo y guiarme solo por las imágenes.

excelente navaja, buen filo se siente fuerte al abrirla, el acabado rugoso molesta un poco pero no afecta su función, la combinación de colores muy buena, y el precio muy bueno, solo me arrepiento de no haber comprado 2
