New Kershaw Blurs...

[northend816]

I was just looking through Blade HQ site and came across new Kershaw Blurs up for pre-order. The models are 1670SWBR and 1670BWBR both are made with Elmax steel

 

[Daddyo16]

Yep. I've got my order in for one of the BWBRs myself.

 

[northend816]

They are both good looking knives but I would also go with the 1670BWBR. There is just something I love about blackwash blades

 

[eschwebach]

Oh yeah, I am on Dave's list for this one. I am still waffling on whether to get the black wash or not.

Pull the trigger, Erik! I know I want to. My plan is to live vicariously through your knife purchases

 

[eschwebach]

It's not a question of pulling the trigger, just which target to shoot.

Haha spoken like a true bada$$ :thumbup:

I got my blackwash elmax pre order in, probably the most excited I have been for a blur. This is one of the coolest versions for sure.

Either one's a bullseye!

Big Erik, I've been added to the list also. A Blur in Elmax? That's too insane to pass on!

 

[northend816]

Well these be a limited run and if so how many will be made?

I would love the elmax blur. Except the only blur that I have has a desert tan handle and I believe the new ones only come with the brown handle. Now a green carbon fiber blur in elmax..

 

[JustSomeGuy]

Elmax Blur? Yeah, I see one of those in my future. Not a pre-order, but eventually...

On the list as well. I know it said end of June on BladeHQ but still every time my email notification on my phone goes off, part of me gets a little excited only to be disappointed by another lame spam email.

You should already know by now that KAI doesn't readily answer these questions.

I asked BHQ if the Blurs were going to be as shown in the photo and they stated that they will be hollow ground instead,just FYI.

The Elmax pics look like the grind on the stonewashed S30V blurs. How does a hollow grind differ from this? Is that what Kershaw calls their standard 14C28N Blur grind?

 

[Daddyo16]

The grind is a deal breaker for me. I guess I'll be canceling my pre-order.

The grind in the pics is a flat grind. Same one used on the s30v and cpm-154 blurs. The typical blur grind is a hollow grind.

What's so bad about the hollow grind that it would be a deal breaker. I know flat grinds are more desirable but why?
