Product Description
The Kershaw Damascus Blur takes one of the most iconic pocket knives of all time and elevates it with a stunning, high-performance Damascus steel blade. Designed by Ken Onion, the Blur has remained a bestseller for decades due to its perfect ergonomics and versatile recurved blade shape. This premium Made-in-the-USA version combines that legendary utility with the ancient art of forged steel, creating a tool that is as visually captivating as it is functionally superior.
The 3.4-inch blade features a slight recurve, a geometry optimized for multitasking—providing an extra "bite" for slicing and a strong tip for piercing. The Damascus steel is created by folding multiple layers of steel together, resulting in a unique, organic pattern on every blade while offering excellent edge retention and hardness (HRC 62-64). The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum and features Trac-Tec grip inserts, ensuring a secure, non-slip purchase in any weather condition. Powered by SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the Blur deploys with a lightning-fast "kick" via the dual thumb studs, making it the ultimate professional EDC.
