This works for me,

   .directive('myDate', ['$timeout', '$filter', function ($timeout, $filter)
    {
        return {
            require: 'ngModel',

            link: function ($scope, $element, $attrs, $ctrl)
            {
                var dateFormat = 'mm/dd/yyyy';
                $ctrl.$parsers.push(function (viewValue)
                {
                    //convert string input into moment data model
                    var pDate = Date.parse(viewValue);
                    if (isNaN(pDate) === false) {
                        return new Date(pDate);
                    }
                    return undefined;

                });
                $ctrl.$formatters.push(function (modelValue)
                {
                    var pDate = Date.parse(modelValue);
                    if (isNaN(pDate) === false) {
                        return $filter('date')(new Date(pDate), dateFormat);
                    }
                    return undefined;
                });
                $element.on('blur', function ()
                {
                    var pDate = Date.parse($ctrl.$modelValue);
                    if (isNaN(pDate) === true) {
                        $ctrl.$setViewValue(null);
                        $ctrl.$render();
                    } else {
                        if ($element.val() !== $filter('date')(new Date(pDate), dateFormat)) {
                            $ctrl.$setViewValue($filter('date')(new Date(pDate), dateFormat));
                            $ctrl.$render();
                        }
                    }

                });
                $timeout(function ()
                {
                    $element.kendoDatePicker({

                        format: dateFormat
                    });

                });
            }
        };
    }])
