This is one of the original Kershaw Blurs, the Blurs that started it all. Like all Blurs it’s equipped with a big, slightly recurved blade that’s ideal for multitasking. The blade shape offers both excellent slicing and piercing capabilities and the high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless blade steel offers corrosion resistance and hardness. The black Blur has a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated blade for extra corrosion resistance and enhanced looks. This Blur's partially serrated blade provides additional cutting power for making short work of rope, cord, and other fibrous materials. As you might expect, the black Blur has black handles with Trac-Tec grip-tape handle inserts for an extremely solid grip. The handle itself is durable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, sometimes described as “aircraft aluminum” since it is a common material used for aircraft fittings. But the main point is that it’s lightweight, extremely durable, and—when anodized—accepts a dye so we can create colored handles that are scratch resistant and extra tough. For easy one-handed opening, the Blur is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening. A short push on the thumbstud overcomes the resistance built into the torsion bar in the SpeedSafe mechanism. The SpeedSafe takes over and the blade moves out of the handle quickly and easily. One-handed opening is easy with SpeedSafe. The pocketclip is reversible for your choice of tip-up or tip-down carry. There’s even a pre-drilled lanyard hole.

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.
Blur might be the last thing they see

I hate to feed into the mentality that causes knifemakers to hype their blades as “tactical,” because the last thing we need to give lawmakers is another excuse to heroically protect us by banning the tools we carry. But the first and last thing I have to say about the Ken Onion Tactical Blur is that it is one fearsome knife.

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.
This is a good work knife

The knife holds a good blade even after some abuse. The thumb button is a little small and a bit tough on the thumb after repeated openings but does open the knife very well. The textured handle provides a very good grip but works like sand paper on anything else in your pocket. If I lost it I would buy another one.
Quality Knife

I’ve been in the Army active duty and reserve; enlisted and officer for 20 years. I’m currently working as a law enforcement officer. So, I’ve dealt with a lot of knives built for various purposes. Taking everything into account I would consider this one of the best knives I’ve owned. It has a great edge for doing day to day routine cutting boxes, 100 mile an hour tape, I cut slices of bannana bread with it today. However, with the spring loaded action and the sharpness of the blade I have no doubt it would be a great knife to defend your life with. I know, I know odds of that happening are probably slim to none, but like a previous reviewer said, “you will probably not need a knife this fast and ferocious, but if you do, you will *really* need it”. ‘Nuff said.
Fast and effective.

To be honest I was a little taken a back by its size out of the box. This is a serious blade, at first I was really hesitant to wear it in public. I’ve since gotten use to it. No one has made any comments about it being over the top. This being said, I live in the county side where carrying a large pocket knife is not abnormal.
Very nice!

This is my first adventure in the world of the higher quality knives after years of many cheaper knives. I am in the public safety field and purchased the version with the partially serrated blade for an easier time cutting seatbelts, etc. The blur is just the right size for a host of chores or last ditch self defense. Some have mentioned that it is too big for every day carry – I disagree. I’ve found that the knife sits in my duty pants pocket and jeans pockets just fine. The assisted opening is a very nice feature. I opened it several hundred times and the action seemed to smoothen out to perfection and the function is logical. No worries about the blade opening accidentally even without a safety due to the design. I never did understand why you would purchase an assisted opener for speed and then use a safety which slows the process. The blade came extremely sharp and the blade appears very high quality and able to hold its edge. I initially bought this knife for work, but now carry it when I’m not working as well. I’m not typically a guy to carry a knife everywhere I go, but I’ve been converted. There has been mention in other reviews about the handle texture. Overall, I like the texture (a plasticy, rubbery cross breed). It provides for a secure grip, but I could see the texture eating one’s jeans pocket edge. However, it works nice in tandem with the clip making losing the knife less likely. There is no play in the blade once locked in place. The liner lock is not exotic, but works reliably which is a plus. I would buy this one again for sure. I might even try a couple of the other blade configuations.
Wonderful, quality knife

Short version: This is the first folder that I’ve owned that I have no complaints about.
How sharp you ask?

I am embarrassed to say that within 90 minutes of owning this blade, I had 16 stitches placed in my hand as a testament to its edge. This blade is *super* sharp. I lost my grip on this blade and in an effort to recover it mid-air, it gave me a gentle kiss on the back of the hand. The serrated portion barely touched my knuckle, and a year later it is still an ugly, scarred, mess.
