Kershaw 1670 Blur Folder w/ SpeedSafe

The Kershaw Blur features a 3.4-inch blade made from Sandvik 14c28n stainless steel. Its slightly recurved shape delivers excellent piercing, slicing, and chopping power. Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe opening system—invented by the Blur's designer Ken Onion—makes it easy to open, too; a small push on the thumb stud will spring the blade rapidly into place. The handle, constructed from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum with Trac-Tec grip tape, reduces the folder’s weight and is resistant to scratching. An inset liner lock tucked inside the aluminum scales further accentuates and draws attention to the handle. And thanks to the reversible pocket clip, the knife can be carried tip-up or tip-down.

A former US Marine and avid knife collector since childhood, Ken Onion is known as one of the most innovative knife designers in the industry. The youngest member ever inducted into the Knifemakers Hall of Fame, Onion holds 36 patents and actually invented Kershaw’s acclaimed SpeedSafe opening system. A firm believer in American-made craftsmanship, Onion currently operates out of his workshop in Kaneohe, Hawaii.
