My first Blur arrived today and it is the SG2 limited edition model. What a beauty! The fit and finish is fantastic, with perfect centering of the blade and rock solid lockup. The right edge of the liner-lock goes to the halfway point on the tang - just where I like to see it.
The SG2 Blur is now officially the most comfortable folder I have ever used. The Blur fits my hand perfectly and the Trac-Tec inserts provide just the right amount of grip. The grip is not as 'grabby' as G-10, but is well up there with the best of them. The inserts are perfectly fitted to the handle, with no gaps or flaws of any kind. One thing that I must point out, is that pictures do not do justice to the brown anodizing on the aluminum handle. The colour is a rich, satin finished, deep 'bronzy' brown that sort of glows with reflected light. Alas, you just have to see it in person to appreciate the finish. The black oxide coated pocket clip, has an aluminum pad under it to facilitate easer withdrawal from the pocket. The clip tension was just right.
The blade has a laminated SG2 edge, with a sexy lamination line running on both sides. The finish is a bead blasted satin and is adorned with matte black angled thumb studs. The angle on the studs is perfectly set for the AO action. Needless to say, the knife is shaving sharp along it's entire edge.
Other than to say that the action of the knife is smooth and positive, I am not going to add anything to STR's excellent review. I will say however, that this knife is too good not to use, so it has now bumped my Avalanche as my EDC.
Well done Ken and Kershaw! Thanks for another great knife. :thumbup:
