I've heard the plastic logo fades overtime, I'm wondering if this is common. Please tell me how long your knife's logo (has) lasted.

I've had mine for more than a year, and it's in my pocket everyday. No fading on mine at all, the logo is entirely intact and visible. I have the red version of this knife and the logo as said before is the button for the light. It's a nice button, you can feel the cross and lines are actually elevated, and it's not flat.

The logo in this model serves as a button as you may already know. Mine is still in good shape, no fading. The LED shortly died out however which aside from the small size of this swiss was the reason I bought it. The blades are very sharp still and I found myself using the scissors the most even on cardboard which was a really bad idea since they're busted now. I am happy with this purchase but unhappy with LED situation.

My logo is still fine, but I keep the knife in the little sleeve that it came with...and I don't carry this one in my pocket.

I've carried mine on my keychain every day for at least five years. The logo has mostly worn off, but what is there isn't faded. When it finally breaks, I'll buy another one exactly like it (except with the white LED).

I've carried it in my pocket everyday for well over a year, and no sign of fading whatsoever.

Sorry it took me this long to respond. My logo is still completely intact. No missing sections off of the logo. Hope that helps.

Got it about 3 years ago as a gift for my husband. He considers it a dress knife and does not carry it every day but does carry it frequently. Still looks like new condition. Also, had it engraved and that looks new too. Hope that helps. A-

I've been carrying the same Blur almost daily for the last 5 years or so, two of which were spent on active duty in the Marine Corps and included a deployment to Afghanistan. I've beaten the heck of mine without a single issue, though it does look worse-for-wear at this point. Very solid and highly recommended as a general-purpose utility knife.

So far the blacking coating on the blade is holding up. If I could do it over, I would buy the plain non coated blade. I have not used this knife as much as my old Spyderco.

As I recall, this machine was a piece of C**p. It did not last long at all and it wasn't cheap. I now have a Sharp, which seems to be holding up pretty well. Good luck!

I got a hold of the company directly and they sent me another battery. The first one died about 3 months after getting it and so did the new batteries. Love the knife but the batteries are no good. You can try ebay. Someone may have some extras.

The handle is plastic (delrin, etc) with a rubberized coating that is great for gripping. My knife is about two years old and the coating has worn off in places from sheath contact. Would replace the handles if I could find new ones.

I have been using my knife for a while. I have not seen this with my knife. I do hand wash all my knives. These knives are not expensive. So I dont worry about it to much.

I like the knife my friend has the same brand but not as good a model his works very well but gets. Hotter with prolonged use I have used mine for 4 hours straight without stopping his he needs to let rest every so often . I also like the blades that came with mine it easy to do small fish with the blades that are 1/2 the thickness but they can be bought separate . I have bought and and still have a Berkley knife and a tatertwister knife they was a a waist of money in my opinion . I hope this helps you make your mind .

I've used certain knives in my set pretty much everyday (6" all purpose and the paring knives) and the rest every now and then. The coating hasn't faded or peeled in any way and the color is the same as it was. The color coating is resin.

carefully...... jk mine has yet to become to dull! As long as you don't cut something stupid with it, it stays pretty sharp. It would defiantly have to be a some what free hand deal if you were to sharpen it. However I wouldn't let that stop me from buying this knife it is for sure one of my favorites in my collection!

I haven't had that problem. I use an electric carving knife. But it's hard plastic so just like a plastic or wood cutting board it will get cuts over time. Not like it will effect your cutting though.

I've had mine for several years and its still like new but I do give it proper care always washing it by hand and towel drying immediately after use and never in a dishwasher or left dirty or soaking in a sink. Great knife!

We have had ours for 6+ months. While fine with cheap knives, the nice Shun and other high end knives I bought for Christmas are all ruined at the tips, they are folded and bent. The design of this block is bad for fine edged cutlery. They need to round off or put a point in the rods so you are not using the very fine and pointed knife tips to impact and separate the rods. So my professional opinion, it is horrible for a fine edge and tip.

I bought one from them, it shipped fast and didnt have any problems with it. Good knife but if i had to buy another one it woukd be the one without the double ...opener flick things at the bottom of the blade. Its too wide and scratches your hand when you put it in your pocket.

I bought mine in 2012 and its still sturdy. Holds the knife firmly and you hear a satisfying click as you replace the knife. Love mine!!

Yes, in my opinion. It's metal & plastic. But the finish may wear off, and it may lose some sharpness. At the price you could just throw it out and buy another :-) I just hand rinse mine with a bit of soap and wipe dry. This is good advice for all knives. Dishwashers are harsh on them.

No image displayed. I don't know what knife you're talking about. If you include a model number, I will be happy to look it up and answer if I can.
