Kershaw’s premium American line is built at Kai USA’s factory in Tualatin, Oregon — the same facility that produces ZT and the Launch series. These knives carry the tighter tolerances and higher-grade steels that Kershaw reserves for its domestic production, with fit and finish that reads closer to custom work than catalog folder.
The Blur is Kershaw’s classic Ken Onion-designed EDC folder — a 3.4-inch drop-point blade with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening, a Trac-Tec grip inlay that holds fast in a wet or gloved hand, and an anodized aluminum handle that stays light on the pocket clip. The blade deploys with a push on the flipper or thumb stud and locks open with a satisfying snap.
Kershaw is part of Kai USA, which has operated in Tualatin, Oregon since 1997. The company built its reputation on pairing pro-grade design with accessible pricing, and the American-made folders are the line that best represents that philosophy. Every Kershaw carries the company’s lifetime limited warranty.
