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.

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.

One of the first things you'll notice is that it has the most amazing grip. Bear in mind that the Kershaw Blur incorporates a flatter handle than most of the other models, and for this reason the manufacturer had to make absolutely certain that there is sufficient grip to allow the user to handle the knife with ease.

The knife handle is light and durable since it is made from anodized aluminum-the same type of metal that is used for building airplanes. The approximate weight of the Kershaw Blur is about 4.2 oz which is impressive when one considers that the knife is about 4.5 inches long.

When a person purchases a quality knife, they do of course expect it to have a blade which is strong, and one which won't rust the minute some water gets on it, and once again the manufacturers have made sure buyers won't be disappointed, in that the blade is made from stainless steel. The knives are shipped to buyers pre-sharpened, so of course there's no need for you to do so when it arrives. You'll also notice that when compared to other similar knives, the Kershaw Blur keeps its sharpness for a far longer period of time.

One of the things that some Kershaw die-hards might have a problem with when it comes to the Kershaw Blur might be the integration of a thumb-stud as opposed to the usual trigger. Strictly speaking, this in itself might not be a problem and the main issue here would likely be the discomfort experienced Kershaw knife veterans that might have gotten used to the trigger now having to contend with this new mechanism.

Kershaw die-hards will also be pleased to discover that the Speed Safe concept has been retained, and so has the ability to open the knife with just a single hand.

One thing to bear in mind however is that even though the knife blade has been manufactured from stainless steel, under certain circumstances and conditions a certain amount of rust could end up accumulating, but unless the knife to spends most of its life in a very humid environment, there's not much chance that this will ever happen.

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.
