I would really like a Blur 2.0

The Blur is a classic. I had a tanto version years back. Recently bought and deassisted a olive Blur and have been enjoying it. I wish ZT would release a Blur 2.0. Titanium handles with micarta inlays, cpm20cv blade (3.5 inch). Phosphor Bronze washers with no assisted. I can do without the recurve but it's not a deal breaker either.

I slip an old reground S60V blur in my pocket periodically. I let my collection of blurs go year back because of the recurve, but it is a solid design.
A few changes and they could do sprint runs at 100$ and I bet they would sell.

The blur I had was nice when deassisted. I'm not sure I'd get another one if upgraded (too many knives) but I do agree they would sell very well.
 
I'd love for the grip inlays to be recessed, like Microtech does with the Socom Elite. The way they are now bugged me enough to get rid of my Blur -- and I liked everything else about it quite a bit.

Something about it just works for me. I carry much more expensive knives everyday but when I put the Blur in my pocket it's like an old friend.
 
For me the recurve is an inherent part of the design. It blends with the curves of the handle to make a truly elegant shape. I don't find it difficult to sharpen. Definitely a fun knife to carry. I like mine in 14C28N. Kershaw drove the development of that alloy with Sandvik.

Solid proposal.

...or they could do more speed holes?? :D

Yea, I get that. I enjoy it either way.
 
I’m also a big fan of the Blur. It’s got a great handle to blade ratio, and it’s comfortable to use. I also like how it’s fairly thin behind the edge.

I don’t like the pocket clip at all though. The Blur really shines with a deep carry clip IMHO.

I deassisted a Blur and the blade became far off center. I just could not get it to center again. I tried put the spring back in, but lacked the dexterity to do so. I meant to send it into Kershaw, but never did. It’s collecting dust in a closet.

Yeah, that would be sweet.
 
I'm a little surprised we haven't seen an m390 version like the other USA models
