Well, these new Blurs feel fairly refined, solid, zero blade play, the assist open actually feels like they've attempted tuning it, it's just a very different knife.

I avoided the Blur for many years, but I grabbed a used one a few months back. I really liked it, enough to purchase a couple of new ones. It’s really an excellent knife.

I like 'em all, as long as they work properly as intended. Liner lock, slipjoint, frame lock, shark lock, back lock, you name it.

As usual, Blues beat me to it.
As I grew in this hobby, I realized all the locks were good in their own way and none were perfect. I still have my preferences, but any quality lock will serve.

I don't even like sprinkles on bakery. Now that I think about it, my daughter would love a dessert warrior knife.

I would like topo to never appear on any gear.

The more lock types the better. I'm thankful lock development didn't stop after the liner lock. It makes this hobby much more interesting.

I didn't cave in for zombie knives craze back whenever, but I did buy a box of the Hornady zombie ammo just for the novelty factor.

I like knives. Almost all of them.

The latest trend in locks is the button operated top liner lock seen on so many Chinese knives, especially Vosted. The top liner lock used to be called a compression lock. Spyderco's patent on it ran out. Also, the Pro Tech Malibu started a fad with button plunge lock flipper knives now being followed by Civivi. Around here everyone wants a titanium frame lock either from CRK or RHK.

That looks like a Taco Bell cup from the 90's.

They'll draw and quarter them and then drive a stake through their hearts. Tradition.

You left out Les George amongst many others.

That's true. I should have said, "among others".

It makes as much sense as the various dessert warrior knife models. These are stupid right down to the last sprinkle, unless it's owned by a 5 year old little girl.

It's a hobby. Let people have fun. If you don't like it you don't have to carry it.

You're just saying that because you're a PB&J.

Listen, being filled with salty peanut butter and sweet jelly does not sway my opinion on the subject. Honest.

 

[GrumpySoreOldBastard]

Double post.

A twist on the disparaging term "mall ninjas" that snotty reddit type folk call people that like tactical style knifes whilst they are stroking their slipjoints.

PB&B is better. Although after I asked AI to reinterpret a friend's collection that way I might not think so any more.
