    This video was flat out absurd. I would have told you that Blur was ready for the parts bin, but you rescued it completely and brought it back to life entirely! Ready to be a faithful companion on new adventures, simply outstanding work!

    I had to do the screw removal trick to a blur that I found laying out in the middle of the street.
    I used my dremel with the cut off wheel and just made a simple notch across the head so it could be removed with a small flat blade screwdriver. As I was taking the knife the rest of the way apart for cleaning couple other heads stripped so I notched them the same. That way I could put it back together while I waited on parts from Kershaw. I love that knife. It had been ran over so many times that the scales warped. I straightened them out as best I could. The torsion bar broke on it one day and I had gotten my bag of parts from Kershaw but I haven’t replaced it yet. I just use it as a manual opener for now. They also sent me some of the traction tape inserts. Gotta love Kershaw customer service.
    Thanks for the great video!

    Great rebuild! That blade looks like it should have come from the factory that way! Love it!

    I have 2 Kershaw Blur knives that I bought new. They’re just sitting in my knife collection. You certainly did a good job of refurbishing this Blur, of “saving the life of this old knife.” 👍👍

    Ive been carrying a BLUR now, same one, since 2005 . I bought mine and received it directly from Ken Onion at the big NRA show in Houston. I love mine, the blade reminds me of the original BOA he made.

    Great work, I love finding old knives and cleaning them up and fixing them if I can. I have an old two bladed pocket knife from Poland a coworker gave me that he found because he knows I love knives, it'll be an interesting challenge

    I carry two Tactical Blur's when I'm armed with my CCW pistol. My preference is the Tanto tips with partially serrated blades. They are primarily used as weapon retention tools.

    @tedhart7708 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Cool! I just happened upon this vid after cleaning and stropping my Blur this evening. Mine has the partial serrated tanto blade. I thought about taking mine down but didn't have the time. I'm glad I didn't after seeing what a job it is to get back together!😄
    Good job on that blade!

    @0:55 Just a heads-up, whenver grinding a knife blade be sure to use water to keep it cool. Heat will ruin the heat treat and temper of the blade!!!

    You did a great job on this Blur! I did want to mention that if the tip repair went South, Kershaw will replace a broken blade for $10 or so. I have not had to send mine in.

    • @daddyofcallie
      @daddyofcallie ปีที่แล้ว

      It's $25 for blade replacement as of 01DEC23, plus $7 for handling. Regular service only $7. After this video, I'll save the $32 by reshaping my broken blade and lubricating myself!!! It was a garage sale find for $5.

    Just picked up a couple of these. They are both so stiff I can't flip them open at all. I have to use two hands just to get them open. Do you think they just need to be taken apart and lubed?

    Hi KnifeDoctor! Question: is it better to use white lithium spray on the torsion bar\spring, over say regular lithium grease? If so, why or why not. Cheers!

      Not really sure man. I just used what I had available. It’s still working good today. I think both are good to use.
