Fellow sharp appreciators,
I like, and own, many Kershaws.
The Blur is a favorite, but we all have our personal quirks. I do not like the normal handle inserts Kershaw uses in the Blurs. Once I found the OCC Blur with anodized handles, it became my favorite until they were no longer available.
I can live with the spiders and their webs in the anodized handles, but not the inserts.
I stumbled into this thread some time ago, and I appreciate your dedication.
I think that I once asked about anodized handles for the Blur in this sub-forum.
I am happy to see that Kershaw has produced some new Blurs with anodized handles, but I prefer the non-coated, non-threatening plain blade for my use.
If anyone knows of Blurs with anodized handles and plain blades, please contact me.
I am not wealthy, and I am not a passionate, dedicated collector. I am an aggregator of sharps. One or two examples is adequate for me, although I will admit to having gone far past that on occasion.
The last time that I talked to Bernard Levine (BRL), he told me that the there was a massive shift in collector interest toward modern production "tactical knives." This thread has definitely shown me that BRL still has good instinct.
My very best to all of you Kerhaw collectors.
You have definitely added added some joy to my life.
My hat is off to Kershaw Guy.
Mike H.
