    I work at walmart and a customer came in asking to see a blur, I allowed them to see it, after getting it back before putting it in its display case I played with it a bit myself. Immediately after they left I rang myself out and was pretty satisfied, knife feels great for the price.

    Yeah I’ve got two blurs. They’re not cheap and they’re not the most expensive knives I have but I like them the most. They’re different from other knives in a good way.

    • @hillbillydude

      They're functional well-built knives for the price. I've been very pleased with mine. Thanks for the comment!

    Been using mine for probably 6-7 years, opening packages at work and doing work in and outside the house.
    I’ve got some nice higher end Benchmade and Civivi knives but I always come back to the blur when I need to get down to business. WELL worth money.

    A well-done review by someone that actually uses their knife so refreshing to see that it's the most beautiful Kershaw knife I've ever seen with all the pocket wear

    Great review, love mine too. Work in engineering at Campbell Soup so much respect. Folks don't realize food processing is a difficult job, extreme temps both cold and hot, wet conditions, usually in a giant concrete sunless vault of a building 10 hours plus a day, the product you are responsible for can often kill many people if not processed properly and the list goes on. Props to you and good fortune in your career.

    I just picked one up. They sell them at Wally World for like $70. I’ve never cared much for Kershaw knives but after looking at a few they had in the display case I said let me see that green Kershaw. Took it and flipped it open with the thumb stud and about flew out of my hand. lol. that thing rockets out. But is smooth and sturdy. And seen where it was made in USA which got me more excited. I also like the taper in the thumb studs. Your thumb just fits it right everytime and you don’t have to fiddle around to get the right angle to deploy it, your thumb just lands on stud and deploys it quickly everytime. And learned that you can actually deploy the knife with just a quick flip of the hand without the thumb studs which I like. I like this knife and it will now become part of my EDC. Also that wear on the handle gives it character. Nice patina! 👍

    I had this knife from 16-23 it came with me thru highschool to my first job at a car dealership as a lot guy til i put it down one day and someone stol it. Here i am at 27, i just bought a leek yesterday and ended up going back today to grab a blur. Its just such a good fkin knife. Who cares abkut the 150 tag it is such a solid knife i used mine as a hammer, carving tool, cutter, everything ur not spos to use it for and it held up. Screws never got loose. 10/0 recommend this knife every time. The leek is good just a bit small for me

    Picked up one yesterday I have around 50 different knives I really like the blur I love the angle of the thumb studs fits my big Ole thumb 👍 perfectly I do wish it had a deeper pocket clip other than that this one is a keeper GREAT REVIEW I like watching reviews by someone that actually uses their knives that's what they are made for

  • @Drewcooks24
    @Drewcooks24 Рік тому +2

    I carry this same blur at work everyday and I use it hard daily at work and it can take a beating. I have much more higher end knives and I keep going back to the blur for some reason. Great deal of a knife

  • @Southernguitar74
    @Southernguitar74 Рік тому

    Been using my Blur for over 2 years. I work in construction and use my knife several times a day. It’s a great blade for the price. I touch up the edge every couple of weeks and it just keeps going. Your experience is much like mine. I’m glad to see it. Thanks

  • @Ryan-dg5mt
    @Ryan-dg5mt Рік тому +4

    Appreciate the long term review. There are a lot of variables on this knife I wouldn't usually prefer, like the insert liner, trac tec, DLC blade coating, and even the spring assist. It's great to see all of those are holding up over time and some hard use. Really good value in Kershaw's midrange knives!

    • @hillbillydude
      @hillbillydude  Рік тому

    I played with a Blur at a local shop today and really liked it. I came home to watch a few reviews which is how I found your video. I just ordered one with M4 blade steel and blue handle!
    I have a bunch of Benchmade, Cold Steel and Spyderco knives but I have a dirty job and feel like I should leave them at home. Hopefully the Blur will fill the roll I need as a tough, mid sized work knife. I have to cut rope and tarp quite often out in the field so I’m looking forward to the traction inserts on the handle.

  • @kevincooper2593

    Just got this knife from Walmart and with the spring test I think I can say the spring didn't loose any power. This is my new EDC after someone stole my Spyderco paramilitary 2. Also i immediately noticed I felt the blur more in my pocket it's a bit heavier than the spyderco.

    I've had 2 that failed due to lockup. Super weak locks in my experience. A small strike on the back due to me slipping during a cut and accidentally wacking it on surrounding objects made the locks fail easily. Luckily I only got a small cut from 1 but still

    Just so you guys know, dont leave your blur in the summer sun or in the car in the summer. That rubber grips adhesive will melt off and the rubber weirdly inflates. My wife loves her blur but left it in the car. Still work but the rubber is coming off now. Need to get her a new one

    My EDC is a KA-BAR Mule. At work, I use a little KB Dozier Design folder. It's such a cute little knife, I just love it. I also have a standard, KB fixed blade combat knife, but my favourite is my BK & KA-BAR tacticool combat Bowie knife. It cost a little over 200 bucks, and it's arguably the least useful of all my knives, but I love it so much. I gave all my other knives away, but every time I have some extra scratch to spend frivolously, I want to buy another knife. I just bought an $80 Kershaw a month or two ago, and ended up giving it away, because as cool as the pseudo switch blade assist thing was, it didn't feel natural. Getting good with that knife would require me to unlearn way too much. But this Kershaw Blur looks pretty cool. I know I'll probably end up giving it away, but it could also be the best knife ever. If I don't buy it, I'll never know.

    • @cdubsoptional7849
      @cdubsoptional7849 Рік тому

      Sidebar, I hear you on the pocket clip, but sometimes they come in handy. I used to carry a last resort/uber concealed carry folder clipped to the inside of my fly. Even if you set off the metal detector, they pat you down, the wand goes crazy around your balls, they check your waist band, they feel up your inner thighs, but they never pat your Johnson. They just figure it's a false positive or that your zipper or whatever set it off. I'm telling you, crotch carry is nothing to sneeze at.

    • @cdubsoptional7849
      @cdubsoptional7849 Рік тому

      Now that I finished watching the video, it's not the knife for me. I like that I can't close my KA-BARs one handed. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel and watched this video, because everything you love about this knife is why I hate it. I would have ordered a Blur, waited with so much excited anticipation for it to arrive, and then I would have been so angry and disappointed that I wouldn't have even given it away. I would have just chucked it into the dumpster at work.
