In General - Super, Great, Magnificient!
Minor improvements, I like to see:
1. Clip change - to be able completely hide knife in a pochet.
2. BC1 with polished G10.
3. Longer G10 backspacer.
4. Thiner metal spacer opposite to liner - to make knife lighter.
5. Laniard hole.
6. Ambidextrous Opening (V.:don't know what is it - just copy paste from his message).
7. Why not to make blade 3-4 mm. longer with same handle?

How long will Speed Safe work? How many open-close operation will it survive?
Why do you think Boa better then Avalanche? I think Avalanche is the best!

Thanks, Vassili.
 
from Alexander(k):
--------------------------------
1. Make liner more accessible. Hard to unlock when you wear gloves.
2. Two side one hand opener.

Thanks, Vassili.
 
Tuesday I found myself at Smoky Mtn. Knives, & ran across the K.O.
Blur. When I left, they only had 1 in stock. (No - I'm Not Mr.Moneybags-they only received 2 in the shipment!)
I Really like the knife. Opens fast, the lines are beautiful, the handle is unique & feels extremely secure in hand. (I plan to contine my 'anti-G10' campaign. I'm SICK of it. At least color the bloody stuff. blackblackblack) Sorry. Medication has finally kicked in.

Anyway, the Blur is red/black with serrations, & I can't find anything to complain about. Even the price was great. $70.
HOW can you beat that? Answer: I don't think it can be done.

Ken Onion is fast becoming one of my favorites.
Thanks for the great knives!

Just to let you know what ambidextrous means , able to use both hands equally or in the case of opening being able to open with either hand equally. I have had a 1500 mini task for 4 years and was a field mechanic for 3 of those and I did a few calculations and came up with an estimate of 30-40 times an 8 hour work day times 5x4x12=8400 cycles per year AVG. This does not take into account the playing with it at home after work(we won't go there)if you know what I mean. You may extrapolate the numbers to come to any conclusions. Oh, I have NEVER had any problems with it since I got the proper sized torx drive and allen wrenches with which to keep things snug excluding the pivot screw. On mine the speed safe is just as strong and a bit smoother as when I first got it. :D :D
 
Hi Smokinbasser.
I do trust SpeedSafe and don't think that this is an issue myself. Thanks for the numbers I can use them now to support my belive. I'll forward them to knife.ru to Vladimir and others right away.
Thanks, Vassili.
