Kershaw Blur 1670OLBLK Overview
The Kershaw Blur 1670OLBLK combines tactical functionality with a classic military aesthetic. Specifically, this model features an Olive Drab anodized handle paired with a stealthy black blade. Moreover, the 3.4-inch recurve blade is precision-forged from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, consequently delivering the high-performance edge retention and corrosion resistance that users expect from a premium USA-made tool. Furthermore, the blade is protected by a durable Black Cerakote finish, which provides a non-reflective matte look that effectively increases corrosion resistance and reduces glare in the field.
Mechanism and Reliability
The patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system allows for lightning-fast, one-handed deployment. As a result, you can access your tool instantly using the large, angled ambidextrous thumb studs. In addition to its speed, the Blur utilizes a secure Inset Liner Lock to keep the blade locked safely without increasing the overall handle thickness. Because of the lightweight aluminum construction, this model weighs in at 3.9 ounces, therefore offering a substantial feel that is comfortable for all-day carry. However, if you prefer a fully blacked-out tactical look, we highly recommend checking out the Kershaw Blur Black as a monochromatic alternative.
Handle Design and Ergonomics
Notably, the distinct recurve drop point blade excels at multitasking. For instance, the slight “S” curve pulls material into the edge for aggressive cutting of rope and webbing, while the tip remains strong for piercing. Additionally, the handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized in a muted Olive Drab. Consequently, it features Kershaw’s signature Trac-Tec inserts. Thus, you get a secure, non-slip grip in all weather conditions, even when wearing gloves or when hands are wet. You can find full technical details on the official Kershaw Blur Olive Black product page.
