Kershaw Blur 1670KC Overview
The Kershaw Blur 1670KC brings the rugged spirit of the hunt to the legendary Ken Onion design. Specifically, this model pairs a field-ready aesthetic with serious cutting performance. The 3.4-inch recurve blade is precision-forged from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, consequently delivering the reliable edge retention and corrosion resistance essential for field dressing or daily chores. Furthermore, the blade features a rugged stonewashed finish, which creates a non-reflective, tumbled surface that effectively hides scratches and scuffs accumulated during hard use.
Mechanism and Reliability
The patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system allows for lightning-fast, one-handed deployment using the large, angled ambidextrous thumb studs. As a result, it is perfect for situations when you are wearing gloves in the field. In addition to its rapid action, the Blur utilizes a secure Inset Liner Lock to keep the blade safely locked without increasing the overall handle thickness. Because of the durable aluminum construction and coating process, this model weighs in at 4.0 ounces, ultimately offering a solid, substantial feel that inspires confidence during heavy cutting tasks. However, if you prefer a tactical blackout look over the camo pattern, we highly recommend checking out the classic Kershaw Blur Black as a stealthy alternative.
Handle Design and Ergonomics
Notably, the distinct recurve drop point blade excels at multitasking. For instance, it offers a slight “S” curve that pulls material into the edge for aggressive cutting of rope and game, while the tip remains strong for piercing. Additionally, the handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and features the realistic King’s Camo XK7™ pattern, which is applied via a specialized CCI process for lasting durability. Consequently, the handle utilizes unique Trac-Tec inserts. Therefore, you get the same aggressive, non-slip grip as the standard Blur while simultaneously allowing the camouflage pattern to show through underneath. You can find full technical details on the official Kershaw Blur King’s Camo product page.
