Kershaw Cyclone or Blur?

[cfl777]

Help...I can't decide!!

Which is better?

Actually I'm looking at the Mini Cyclone and the Blur (Red)

I've only handled the Blur, but a framelock with a ZDP blade? Go with the Mini Cyc!

Actually, I wish they did those same design specs with the big one.

I recieved a Mini Cyclone about a month ago.
Pros: *Overall shape of blade
*Handle shape
*Lock up very nice via liner lock
*Can open via either Speed hump or thumb studs

Cons: *AO (They call it Speed Safe) on/off switch malfuntioned within a
day. Sent back and Kershaw replaced ASAP. This left me with little
confidence in this design.
*Aluminum handle lacked any tack. It was down right slippery.

Unknowns: * I never really got a chance to test out the blade steel.

Blur with S30V blade
Pros: * A substantial knife with nice heft
* Stone washed S30V blade has excellent edge retention and gets
super sharp without a lot of time consuming effort.
* Handle is very ergonomic and has excellent tack
* Lock up is very solid via liner lock
* Opening with the AO is very solid and secure
* Thumb studs are shaped to your thumb - nice feature.

Cons: * Opens only via the thumbstuds. I would like to see a speed hump
like on the Mini Cyclone. No big deal.

Both knives are very nice but I prefer the Blur because of it's handle with some grip and my lack of cofindence in the on/off switch on the Mini Cyclone.

I'm EDCing an S30V Blur for a month. Its' a superb knife, altough the thumb studs were initially too sharp. (Some sandpaper work fixed this. )

I handled the ZDP Cyclone too - whoa, what a hitech miracle!
For EDC I don't need the titanium handle, so I'll go with the regular Mini Cyclone to my collection...

I have a Mini Cyclone, with the ZDP-189 blade and titanium handles, and I LOVE it!! I have been very impressed with this knife. Now mind you, I normally only buy Custom knives.
