The Kershaw Blur Assisted Folding Knife Blackout Cerakote Partially Serrated Tanto/Aluminum Ken Onion Design is a rugged American-made folder that pairs tactical performance with streamlined styling. Designed by renowned knife maker Ken Onion and built in the USA, the Blur has earned its reputation as a dependable everyday carry knife for those who need speed, strength, and reliability in a cutting tool.
The 3.4-inch tanto blade is crafted from high-performance 14C28N stainless steel, a material respected for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its tanto profile delivers outstanding piercing capability along with strong tip durability for demanding cutting tasks. A partially serrated edge increases versatility, allowing the blade to bite through rope, webbing, cordage, and other fibrous materials with ease. The black Cerakote finish adds a bold tactical appearance while also protecting the blade from wear and corrosion during hard use.
Deployment is fast and smooth thanks to Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening system. A quick push on the ambidextrous thumb studs activates the mechanism, snapping the blade open with authority. Once deployed, a sturdy liner lock secures the blade firmly in place, giving users the confidence needed for both everyday jobs and tougher cutting work.
The handle is built from durable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, offering a strong yet lightweight frame that stands up to years of use. Its black finish complements the blade’s blackout look while maintaining a clean, modern appearance. Trac-Tec grip inserts are strategically placed to provide enhanced traction, ensuring the knife stays secure in hand whether conditions are wet, dry, or slick. The ergonomic handle shape promotes comfort and control during extended use.
Measuring 4.5 inches closed and 7.9 inches overall, the Blur strikes a balanced size for pocket carry while still delivering serious cutting capability. The .12-inch blade thickness provides solid strength without unnecessary bulk. A reversible tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife secure and ready, and a lanyard hole offers additional carry or attachment options. Weighing just 3.9 ounces, it carries comfortably while remaining tough enough for demanding tasks.
