Kershaw Ken Onion Blur Blk Pln

The Kershaw Ken Onion Blur Black Plain is one of the foundational designs in the Blur lineup, engineered as a versatile tactical folding knife for field professionals, outdoor operators, and serious users who demand reliable cutting performance in variable conditions. Built around a slightly recurved blade geometry optimized for both slicing and piercing tasks, this knife delivers the multitasking capability that defined the Blur platform and continues to make it a preferred choice among law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian tactical enthusiasts.

The cutting edge features Kershaw's Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade, a high-performance corrosion-resistant steel that holds a sharp edge under sustained use. This variant adds a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating to the blade surface, which enhances corrosion resistance in humid, salt-air, or high-moisture environments while providing improved aesthetic contrast and reduced glare. The blade geometry—slightly curved with a refined point—balances edge geometry for both utility cuts and precision piercing. At 0.31 lbs and measuring 4.9 inches in overall length, the Blur maintains compact carry dimensions without sacrificing cutting surface area or ergonomic grip engagement.

This model serves professionals and operators who prioritize field reliability and corrosion resistance in a compact folding knife platform. Whether for equipment maintenance, tactical cutting tasks, emergency response, or general outdoor fieldwork, the Kershaw Blur's blade design and material selection provide consistent performance across extended operational periods. The DLC-coated variant adds durability and maintains appearance even in corrosive environments where bare stainless would show accelerated patina development.

Within the Kershaw folding knife category, the Blur remains a benchmark design—proven in field service, recognized for blade geometry that balances utility with precision, and manufactured using materials rated for extended corrosion exposure. The black plain-edge variant appeals to operators who prioritize edge durability and minimize maintenance intervals in demanding environments.
