Kershaw Blur
The Kershaw Blur, designed by renowned knifemaker Ken Onion, has been a Kershaw bestseller for two decades. This assisted-opening EDC knife is trusted by ranchers, law enforcement, first responders, and everyday users who demand a dependable pocket knife that opens quickly and safely. Its 3.4-inch blade features a slight recurve—an ideal geometry for slicing and piercing tasks, making it a versatile choice for work, outdoor activities, and daily carry.
SpeedSafe Assisted Opening on the Kershaw Blur
SpeedSafe assisted opening is what makes the Blur distinctive. Push the thumb stud, and the torsion bar system snaps the blade open. It's fast, one-handed deployment without crossing into automatic territory. The mechanism keeps the blade closed during carry and requires deliberate pressure to activate, so there's no risk of it opening in your pocket.
Kershaw Blur Steel Options
The standard blade is crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. This high-nitrogen stainless steel is favored among knife enthusiasts for its proven durability and practical performance in daily cutting tasks. With a blade thickness of 0.121 inches, the Blur offers enough strength for demanding jobs while maintaining a keen, slicey edge.
Blur Handle, Liner Lock, and Carry
The ergonomic handle design prioritizes grip security and comfort. Lightweight anodized aluminum keeps the knife at just 3.9 ounces, while Trac-Tec grip inserts deliver secure handling even in wet or gloved conditions. At 4.5 inches closed, the Blur is a mid-sized folding knife that fits comfortably in your pocket, making it ideal for everyday carry. The liner lock is straightforward—no special deployment button or mechanism to learn—and the reversible pocket clip allows tip-up or tip-down carry based on your preference.
Kershaw Blur Variants and Colorways
The Blur lineup includes multiple configurations. Standard models come in black or blackwash finishes. Serrated options are available for those who prefer enhanced cutting performance on tough materials. The tanto variant offers a different blade profile for piercing tasks, including the 50th Anniversary red aluminum tanto. Color choices include olive, navy blue, and camo patterns, and some models feature glass breakers. For users seeking superior edge retention, S30V and MagnaCut steel versions are also offered.
Made in the USA at Kershaw's Oregon facility, the Blur has been in continuous production long enough to refine the details and establish a reputation. It's not trying to be the lightest, thinnest, or most premium folder on the market—it's a capable working knife at a reasonable price point, and one of the longest-running models in the full line of Kershaw knives.
