I bought one of these knives in 2008, and the bar broke after a few years. I removed the broken bits and just use the knife as a manual folder. Its still all these years later one of my favorites.

We are more than willing to disassemble/clean our own knives but a nice benefit to getting knives to Nick is he does it for us ;) (for good content of course, we do appreciate it) FYI Nick, this knife was as-is from Kershaw, never disassembled. I took apart a Link the other day and yuck, grease/dirt.

This video makes me appreciate frame locks even more.

The nicest thing about assisted opening knives is that, in many jurisdictions at least, they are automatic knives that are not classified as such.

I am usually not a huge fan of bright colors on knives, but that green looks beautiful

I didn't know Joe Pesci had a youtube channel.

Nick....Awesome you break that down almost on the fly like that. I admire that. Aside from it needing cleaning, I leave mine alone. I have 4 in different colors, they are very nice, my other plain black one from WalMart is my EDC. It has the intimidating snap-sound and one hand for my needs in the ghetto, pit bulls, etc. for work. I love that knife. But yeah...they should update it, and/or offer 2 styles. Perfect E.D.C. really.

Hey Nick, thanks for the tutorials. I just took apart a knife and cleaned and maintained it for the first time. My SpeedSafe Blur probably wasn't the best choice for a first attempt, but I was successful. I would have never tried without this tutorial. Thanks for all you do, Nick.

Such an amazing knife I've been using it for 5 years and been beating it beyond imagine and have Nothing bad to say about it.

That helped! I had no idea where that little bar came from when it flew out at me. Thanks

Wow I’m glad I found this video. I disassembled my Kershaw Piston the other day for cleaning, and had a rattle after reassembled. Nice to know nothing is broken.

Got my blur back together from this video

I actually took out the speedsafe action on my Kershaw. I like it much better unassisted.

Bought this knife in red about a week ago. Didn't even think twice about watching a vid or researching anything and took it straight apart to clean it because it was funky and sounded like there was sand and nasty grit inside of it when you flipped the blade out. Well, short story long, I cleaned everything with wd40 and put it all back together. Now I'll be honest, im a knife collecting rookie. I only own about 10 and that was maybe the 2nd one I'd ever took apart. Anyhow, 20 mins later it's back together. Adjusted the screws just right so the blade flips out as violently and as noisy as it can and it works flawlessly. No shakes. No rattles. Tight. Tbh, I probably got lucky lol.

The way you centered it at the was great!

thanks buddy was having a few problems and watching your video made all the difference

Can’t believe I haven’t watched this video before..I have the blue n black Blur, and this will come in handy.

Nick: I was looking for your disassembly video on the Delica 4 and could not find it. I know that you mentioned in another video you were thinking about taking it down KZfaq. Please put it back. Yours is the only one worth using as a reference. Even if you think it should not be disassembled. How about it?

Also at 13:12 you mentioned that little hole. I do believe that is an oil servicing port for that pivot washer.

i think you just unlocked one of the biggest budget edc tactical mysteries in life sans the entire cold steel line. the blur is pretty popular with a lot of my buddies. i ruined a few of them with the crkt big dawgs and when i moved on they didnt. lots of blade, they like the assisted action, price and steel. hit it with the kitchen rod sharpener or something at work and theyre satisfied as long as it cuts. doesnt matter how smooth or clean. i had them all on the endura train for a couple years too. i think they keep those as the nice carry and everything else as work or beater. i just gifted my cryo II to my buddy who i got into a crkt m16 drop point soft steel something and he'll probably be moving to the rat I d2 soon. cant wait to get my kme system but ive still gotta wait a little longer... definitely dont want to take a blur apart. hell i have a leek i never took apart and i think its gonna stay that way!

spoke to kershaw and they told me grease is not needed just remove the factory stuff and add their kershaw oil instead should run fine any suggetions they do not sell grease for the speed safe or recommend it

Hi nick I just wanted to let you know, (if you already didn't) that Kershaw will send you parts for most of there knives, even some internal parts like the speed safe bar.

Since you like to take down knives for cleaning, I think you would appreciate the CRKT Homefront. :>)

God I love these videos...

Thanks for the info!!

I have brand new blur, the black and blue one, question, how often should I go through this cleaning and greasing procedure?

Attempted to replace the torsion bar on my blur and all three body screws stripped immediately, using wiha driver. Back to Kershaw.

Just wondering what brand driver set you use or can recommend for knives?

Are all the speedsafe springs the same in the Kershaw knives??? I’ve got the Blur & Volt SS

Nick take out the spring bar. Makes the Blur much better in my opinion.

Does it come from kershaw with the threadlocker already applied

I took one of these apart that I had laying around that I didn't even realize that bar fell out of it I was wondering where the hell that thing came from but in any case I didn't put it back in lol

Your a brave man 😮😅😊

I've taking apart 2 kershaw blur and both times I stripped the pivot

All the torx screws on my kershaw blurr are stripped like the knife is doing it to pay for college. 😂😂😂😓 any suggestions?

{ *Reassembly* starts @9:30 }

Hey Nick! I just reassembled a kershaw injection (which had an amazing free-dropping action out of box, with no play and perfect centring) because I had noticed a bunch of rust under the scales. After cleaning off the rust, I coated the liners and washers with a gun oil (the bottle said for lubrication and corrosion protection). Now that it is reassembled the centring and action are worse, and the blade has play. Could you maybe guess at what I did wrong? Thank you so much

Great vid brother! New subscriber! Do you have any website info for the “nano grease?”

thank you nick

What bit size T5,T6?

The spacers are threaded

I'd be inclined to clean out all of the grease and leave it like that. I don't mind a little rattling, if it means my scale isn't chock full of dirt-attracting grease

I was hoping you would try de-assisting this one. I've heard it improves it quite a bit.

Nick, would mineral oil be okay for lubricating the pivot and washers?

I thought you might have forgotten about the washer when you were dry fitting, and I thought "I'm seeing a pattern", lol

Ur accent is on point

Do you make a lot of $$$ from YT? I am just curious.... Great vids!

Forget lithium or nano grease. Crisco or vaseline and your good to go

Doesn't a green knife just call out for Frog lube?

Why is it necessary to move the lockbar over when tightening the pivot?

hey nick, you said bože muj?.....where did you get that ? :D

No froglube on the liner?

What happens if u never clean it?

Holy cow! Is this Dr. Frink's knife hour? :D LOL! Awesome. KNIVEN GLABEN! :D (j/k just found your channel... love them.)

Hah, I just took one of these apart and had all the same screw problems with the same screws in the same order. I guess that means kershaw is consistent or some shit.

Just picked up one of these for $9 at a Walmart clearance. I know nothing about knives. I guess I got lucky?

nick i bought the the black one with the tiger stripe for edc because its h.d. and i use it as a tool not a toy and any larger,it would be too big.ok i did however play with it a good while to get use to the thumb studs and fell in love with it but i put just a touch of silicone spray on the washer area and it now seems like the spring has weakened.do you think it just needs a good cleaning,possibly its lock tight messing it up?

You can deassist the blur

hey Nick😆. I have a question for you, my friend from Norway her is going to visit New York city. and I'm sending whit her around 200 dollars for a knife, but I dont know what I want. And her is the 1000 dollar question😅. any good knives stores in NYC?.

Bozhe Moi :D

are you said boze moj :)

Can you take the thumb stud off?

That hole you didn't know what it's for... it's for the pocket clip, tip down. Send me two T6 screws. When I reversed my pocket clip, one of the screws went in screwy and it cross threaded. If I'd have gotten it in all the way, I'd have said, cross thread better than a lock nut, but it kinda stripped out and I wasn't able to get it flush.

OOF MARON

Tooling hole...tee hee

Looks like you put more grease in than you took put. Your disassembly was cringe worthy.
