Kershaw Olive Black Blur Pocket Knife (1670OLBLK)

Description

The Kershaw Olive Black Blur Pocket Knife (1670OLBLK) stands as a testament to practical design and American craftsmanship. For years, the Blur series has been a favorite, and this particular model continues that tradition with its distinctive aesthetic and functional capabilities. At its core, the knife features a robust, slightly recurved blade, a shape specifically engineered to manage a wide array of cutting tasks, from precise slicing to effective piercing. The high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel used in the blade provides a good balance of properties, including resistance to corrosion and the ability to hold an edge effectively for typical daily use. Furthermore, the blade is treated with a black Cerakote coating, which offers an additional layer of protection and enhances its overall hardness, contributing to the knife’s longevity.

Complementing the blade is the handle, constructed from durable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum. This material is not only lightweight but also resists scratches and fading, ensuring the knife maintains its appearance even with consistent use. Integrated into the handle are black Trac-Tec grip-tape inserts. These inserts are a key feature, designed to significantly improve handling security by providing a solid, non-slip grip, even when conditions are less than ideal. The knife incorporates Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism, allowing for swift and straightforward one-handed blade deployment via a thumb stud. Once open, the blade is held securely in place by an inset liner lock, ensuring stability during use. Designed by Ken Onion and proudly made in the USA, the Kershaw 1670OLBLK Blur is a dependable tool, ready to handle diverse cutting requirements whether you are on the job, engaged in outdoor activities, or simply performing everyday tasks.
