I am shortly going to have two Kershaw Blurs. If i were to want to switch out the blades, does anybody know someone on here that is skilled at this? Being liner locks, I am not sure if it takes particular skill to get the fit of blade and lock just right. Also, who on here does modification on the assisted opening? If i were to want that taken out, does it need to be modified beyond just the removal? I remember reading somewhere that to properly do it you need a new detent system, otherwise the blade will just swing free easily. I do not relish the thought of reaching into my pocket and encountering loose blade. Thanks.

jp, I've done this several times. Kershaw's tolerances are good enough I've never had a problem. Just make sure the blade is open before you take it apart and make mental notes how the parts fit back together. The Blur can be a little trying on re-assembly.
If you do want to remove the SpeedSafe feature, a little work to the detent is required. Check with STR on doing this if you don't feel comfortable with it.
