Kai USA is one of the most recognizable manufacturers of knives. Its flagship Kershaw knives brands are reputable for their quality and have a fiercely loyal fan base. That's why there would be a high level of expectation on the Kershaw Blur range of knives by anyone who has handled a Kershaw knife before. A casual look at the Kershaw Blur knife and one can tell that a significant amount of attention and detail has gone into enhancing the aesthetics of the knife while taking care not to compromise the effectiveness of the knife.
The vast majority of Kershaw knives tend to have a naturally shaped handle, but the new Kershaw Blur sports a much flatter and sleeker design. In order to accommodate this, they have used a special tape on the grip so that the knife can still be handled effectively without having to worry about it slipping out of the hand.
Over and above having such a good grip, the handle is also noticeably light, but because it's been made from anodized aluminum, it's impressively durable, bearing in mind that the selfsame material is used in the construction of aircraft. The Kershaw Blur weighs in at approximately 4.2 ounces, which by anyone's standards is quite an amazing feat considering that the knife is approximately four and a half inches in length.
Unlike the handle, the blade has been manufactured from high grade stainless steel in order to guarantee strength, and to prevent it from becoming damaged by corrosion. There's also no need for a buyer to sharpen the knife when they purchase it because they are sharpened prior to being shipped. Another outstanding quality of the knife is that the blade retains its sharpness for a longer period of time than most other comparable knives.
The only thing that loyal fans may have something to moan about is that the new Kershaw Blur incorporates an integrated thumb stud rather than the usual trigger. In reality however, this change in design won't cause any problems with regards to the usability of the knife, but instead, if you're accustomed to the old design then you may find the thumb stud a little uncomfortable.
In order to minimize the risk of a handler accidentally cutting themselves, Kershaw Blur has made a point of retaining their Speed Safe concept, and the ability to open the blade with only one hand has also been retained.
Another important point to note is that even though the knife is made from stainless steel, it is important to note that it is not 100% immune to corrosion. There are instances where the Kershaw Blur may start to accumulate rust. That said, unless one is keeping the knife in an overly humid environment, the chances of this happening for the ordinary Kershaw Blur user are relatively low.
The choice of color from red, black and gray means one is not limited in color preferences. With a $60 to $65 price tag, the amount of value the Kershaw Blur knife delivers is worth the price. Kershaw Blur knives can be purchased from your local store as well as online.
