Kershaw Blur 1670NBSW Overview
The Kershaw Blur 1670NBSW brings a sophisticated splash of color to the tactical world. Specifically, this model features a deep Navy Blue anodized handle paired with a rugged stonewashed blade. Moreover, the 3.4-inch recurve blade is forged from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, consequently ensuring the high-performance edge retention and corrosion resistance that users expect from a premium USA-made tool. Furthermore, the blade features a distinct stonewashed finish, which creates a non-reflective surface that effectively hides scratches and scuffs accumulated during daily use.
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 darker, more rugged aesthetic, we highly recommend checking out the Kershaw Blur BlackWash as a stealthy 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 rich Navy Blue. 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. You can find full technical details on the official Kershaw Blur Navy Blue product page.
