Recently lost the kershaw blur I’ve been carrying for a while and looking for something in the same price range to replace it with. I came to get the OB official opinion.

i know its a strange choice but i carry a fox 599 XT everyday and i love it. had it now for about 3 years. sharpest out-of-the-box knife ive ever seen. obviously it wont be up to every job (i wont pry anything with it) its used strictly for cutting. it deploys fast if you need it in a pinch, and the emerson wave can be used as a bottle opener

After you research the metal you should come to the following conclusion:
Benchmade Griptilian, mini Griptilian, Spyderco Paramilitary or Spyderco Delica 4. Spyderco Dragonfly if you want something very small (this would be a choice if you wear suit to work every day). Best knives for the money.

Benchmade Mini Crooked River

It’s not in the same price range but it’s a damn fine knife.

I have been carrying a Benchmade Mini Barrage for a while now but I just can't suggest Benchmade anymore after some new things have come to light.

I'd probably suggest going with a good option from Spyderco instead.

I have a couple of Benchmades that I carry daily.

My favorite is a Benchmade 470 Emmisary
Next is a Benchmade Bugout

I like thin knives and these both fit the bill.

If I were looking right now id have to give a hard look at Zero Tolerance. My nephew has a few and they’re extremely nice knives and have very good steel in them.

My current EDC is a Riuke P801 and you can get one to carry and a spare for the truck for $80.

I have a blur and love it is 14CSS. Bought a zero tolerance “ZT0566 CF” which was at least double the cost and really feel like the blur is a better steel. The blur holds hair popping sharp longer than the Zt and will skin a hog with less dulling than the ZT IMO!!
Get another blur that’s what I would do
