Kershaw 1670OLBLK Blur OD Green Aluminum 3.4" Black DLC Coated Blade
Kershaw
The Kershaw 1670OLBLK Blur is a highly popular knife known for its exceptional performance. Its 3.4" blade is slightly curved, making it versatile for various tasks such as slicing and piercing. The blade is made of 14C28N high-performance stainless steel and is coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) for added durability and resistance against wear and corrosion. The black DLC coating matches the black Trac-Tec grip-tape handle inserts, providing a secure grip. The handle itself is made of lightweight and durable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, which is commonly used in aircraft fittings. The anodized finish allows for scratch resistance and toughness. The Blur features SpeedSafe® assisted opening for easy one-handed operation and a reversible pocketclip for tip-up or tip-down carry. It also has a pre-drilled lanyard hole for added convenience.
