Do different Kershaw Blurs have different grinds? Or do my eyes deceive me

[Navyblu]

Gonna pick up a blur soon, so I was browsing the different models. I had decided upon the blackwash version in 1428, when I noticed that it seemed to have a different grind than some of the other models. Do the grinds vary with the specific model?

These seem to have thicker grinds:

These seem to have flatter grinds (and would be better at slicing):

The new Elmax version and the S30V version are listed as flat ground, but the 1428 models are all listed as hollow ground, even though there appear to be differences in the blades.

Many thanks :thumbup:

Some models are flat ground and others are hollow ground. I believe that regular production are hollow ground and the limited production models are flat ground. Also, the pictures on websites are not always correct in regard to the grind.

I checked out Kershawguy as well as BHQ, and they both have variations in grind, even in the non-limited models. Doesn't look like BHQ was using incorrect pictures.

I believe that is generally correct. There are some exceptions, of course. The recent limited runs in CTS-BDZ steel were hollow-ground, and there have been some runs with the Sandvik steels that were flat ground (I have a red Blur w/ Sandvik steel that is flat ground). Some websites may have prototype pics, or pics of older iterations of that model that used a different grind.
