Kershaw Blur 1670TBLKST 3.4" Tanto Part Serrated Folding Knife, Black DLC 14C28N Steel Blade, Anodized Aluminum Handle, Pocket Clip

The Kershaw Blur 1670TBLKST is a tactical folding knife built for serious users who need a blade that cuts, pierces, and performs in the field or at the workbench. This 3.4-inch tanto folding knife pairs a modified tanto blade with partial serration—a geometry that trades the curve of a drop point for a pronounced point and flat cutting edge, giving you a tool that excels at both penetration and utility tasks like opening boxes, cutting rope, and slicing through webbing.

The blade is forged from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance alloy that resists corrosion while holding a sharp edge. A black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating darkens the steel further and adds a layer of protection against rust and reflection—handy if you want your knife to stay quiet and low-profile. The hollow-ground edge comes sharp from the factory; the partial serration on the back half of the blade gives you a saw-like grip on tougher cutting jobs without sacrificing the clean slicing geometry up front.

The handle is where the Blur earns its reputation for confident control. Anodized 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum provides a lightweight yet rigid frame, while Trac-Tec inserts on the grip surface deliver traction even with wet or gloved hands. SpeedSafe assisted opening snaps the blade out fast and smooth, and an inset liner lock keeps it secure under load. The reversible pocket clip mounts right or left and sits tip-up or tip-down, so you can carry it the way that works for your daily routine. A lanyard hole rounds out the package for those who want a secondary tether.

Whether you're a hunter prepping game, a tradesperson needing a reliable cutting tool, or someone who just appreciates a well-engineered blade, the Kershaw Blur tanto brings tactical styling and proven steel to your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a tanto blade and a drop-point blade?

A tanto blade features a flat cutting edge and an angled spine that comes to a sharp point, rather than curving smoothly like a drop point. This geometry puts more steel behind the tip, which makes it better at piercing and penetrating tough materials. The flat front section also excels at detail work and slicing. The trade-off is that a tanto is less of an all-rounder than a drop point, but if you need piercing power and controlled cutting, the tanto geometry wins.

Is the Blur 1670TBLKST a good EDC knife?

Yes. At 3.4 inches, the blade is compact enough for pocket carry with a standard pocket clip, and the assisted opening and liner lock make it fast and secure to deploy one-handed. The anodized aluminum handle is lightweight without feeling fragile, and the grip inserts bite well even if your hands are wet or you're wearing gloves. The reversible clip means you can set it up to match your carry style and clothing.

What does the partial serration do?

The partial serration occupies the back half of the blade's cutting edge. It creates a saw-like action that's excellent for cutting rope, webbing, and other tough or fibrous materials that a straight edge might slip on. The flat, hollow-ground edge on the front half keeps the blade sharp for clean slicing. This hybrid design gives you two tools in one blade.

What's included with the knife?

The Kershaw Blur 1670TBLKST comes as a ready-to-carry folding knife with the assisted opening mechanism, liner lock, reversible pocket clip, and lanyard hole. The blade arrives sharp. No additional accessories are included.
