Finally got me a Blur S30V

[mley1]

I got lucky!! My local flea market payed off again. I found a guy who had a bunch of Kershaws. And, luckily, he had one that I've been wanting, the Blur S30V. His starting price was 45, and I got him down to 30 bucks. I felt really lucky to get it at that price. Sorry I haven't taken any pics yet. I will soon.

I really liked the Blurs that I gave my boys for Christmas. So, I've been looking for a Blur S30V because I love the S30V steel. I've been just waiting for the right deal. And, there it was.

It's been riding shotgun next to my ZT 350 since I got it last weekend. And, I gotta say I like it almost as much as my ZT. It's super comfortable to grip, and its very comfortable to use when making repetitive cuts. The only thing I don't like, is it doesn't have the flipper my ZT 350 has. But, once used to the thumb studs on it I was able to deploy it just as easily as the 350.

I gotta say also that with the thinner blade on the Blur S30V it seems to be a better slicer in the kitchen, and in the garden where I spend a lot of time. It was also very easy to sharpen, and seemed to take a finer edge than the thicker bladed 350. I sharpened both on my Lansky at the 25 degree slot. So far, two thumbs up! One of the best Kershaws!!

Sounds like a good score.

Very nice find. I scored a new in box one awhile ago for $50. Couldn't believe nobody else bid on it.

NICE! The more I use mine, the more I like it. I do lots of work in the garden, with the chickens, and cook prep. And, this Blur fits right in doing all those chores. I'm liking it a lot. I just gotta go kill me a hog or two to see how she does skinning and quartering.

The Blurs are odd for me. I don't me to say the knife is odd because it certainly is not but I mean how I use and carry them. My most abused Kershaw a S60V blem. The knife was reground my Tom Krein. The recurve was taken out and the blade thinned a bit. I've done bad bad things to that knife and it is doing just fine. For some reason, I won't carry it for months...then I won't be without it...repeat. The odd part is I don't do that with any other knife. Whenever I'm doing remodeling / painting etc around the house that knife is in my pocket though.

Nice score on the S30V Blur...good price. Enjoy it!
