With a blue collar life rooted in the Ozark Mountains, I've always obsessed over outdoor tools, gear, and experiences. My goal here is to share some of that with all of you fine folks!
My favorite knife. I own four. Every one has the tip broken off and one a spring bar broken as well. I bought a Gerber AO and the dang thing is made in China! I would buy another Kershaw Blur but I’m tired of breaking the tips off. It’s not like I’m rough on them I only use them to for emergency use i.e. self defense. But, if you pry on ANYTHING with it it’s like a toothpick. Snap. I know you can send them in for repair and new blades but I haven’t done it yet. I’m thinking maybe a better option. 🇺🇸
You made reference to carrying this in your pocket... That is cool... But it's something I've never done. Always in its sheath. Even when I wear shorts and it's hot in the summer I have a belt and that's how I carry. Knife in the pocket is annoying I don't care how small it is. Plus there is other things that need to go in your pocket like change and your cell phone and your wallet. And despair clean x. And God knows what else.
Im really liking kershaw rn and their budget lineup of knives cause rn i have a emerson and kershaw colab of the wave opening knives which I'm loving so far but the blur had caught my eye for awhile so I'm just trying to save up for it (im a teen so dont got much money)
Great review, covered all the key points. I've been carrying the Esee Xancudo, just a tad longer blade thn the Izula but still slides into my 5.11 pants pocket completely hidden. Thinking of getting the Izula so I can carry it easier in my dress pants pocket, probably get the bare knife and paracord wrap it. Their polymer sheaths work great with that thumb ramp you demonstrated, just slide your hand in your pocket and pop the sheath off to draw it, no clips needed, no tension screws needed, just simplicity.
I must have a older 1, sheath is totally different. right side of blade 5160 OKC-USA. ( no Bolo ) on it. I still Love mine though. I gave up carrying a hatchet , to have this. My companion knife is a Garburg SS, : )
Since you didn't wash the set before use, did the factory/store dust add any flavor to meal? I bought a couple of these years ago, just for the heck of it. Haven't used them yet.
