I have a couple of questions. Which of the two kershaw knives would you purchase?(Boa or Blur). I have the option of either for around $60.00 both nib. Also the one thing I dont understand is the "saftey feature on the Boa." Any help would be great.




Thanks!:confused:
 
Take the Boa. It's 10 times the knife the Blur is. Much better steel, too 440V vs. 440A. Also, $60 dollars NIB isn't that great a deal for a Blur. That's pretty much what you'll find mail-order. A Boa typically will run you about $125 on the internet, but that's because it's a much nicer knife.

As for the safety, it's just a little sliding switch on the handle that keeps the blade from popping open if you were to hit the flipper accidently.

Don't know much about the Boa but I bought my wife the Blur and she uses it for light duty like opening parcels, envelopes, boxes and such.

For the price it's not a bad knife and the assisted opening makes it better.
 
I think the assist on the boa is crappy and the assist on the blur is great. HOWEVER I think the boa is S60V as apposed to 440A in the blur. I like the overall package of the boa and usually you cant find them that cheap. So I would get that just because of quality.
