Pros
- Last year around Christmas I bought myself a Kershaw Blur for work. Didn't think much of it. I always buy a knife for work but damn did that light a fire.
- The Blur for the win. Can be had from Walmart for under 80
- You can get a Kershaw Blur in Magnacut for significantly less than the ZT. It’s more of a similar style to the 0350 than the Bel air.
- My daily carry is a Blur. It’s over your $50 budget, but well worth it.
- Id go with the kershaw blur. Walmart did have them for like $75 at one point
Cons

- Parent context: if you dont mind liner locks you could go with a kershaw blur, or a maxace kingsnake. Reply: I always think about getting a blur but I don’t know how to sharpen a recurve

- Just the initial push, I Have to put a lot of thumb pressure on it to get it to release, like an uncomfortable amount.
- To me it takes a good bit of force to open this knife and is putting some wear and tear on my thumb. I'm not finding it to be very fluid

this Blade HQ exclusive Kershaw Blur in Elmax steel gifted to me by my parents for Christmas right before my 14th birthday. This knife represented a significant upgrade in terms of quality and refinement... However, despite the love I immediately felt towards that Blur it wasn't perfect. First, the lock-up was very late. While most of my annoyance towards this was admittedly just the nagging feeling of an imperfection, some of the annoyance definitely came from the feeling of a slightly sticky lockup. Additionally, the centering was a fair bit off and couldn't not be fixed without making the knife extremely difficult to deploy.

My Blur is on bronze washers. Over time I’ve had to play with the pivot to get a good balance to allow the spring to fully open the blade to lockup without any pivot wiggle or hair trigger deployment in my pocket.
