The Kershaw Cryo, designed by Rick Hinderer, is one of Kershaw̥s best-selling knives. And now it's available with one of our customers' most-asked-for modifications: a G-10 front scale.
This new Cryo not only looks good, it also offers the extra grip some of you have been asking for. The G-10 scale also lightens the overall weight of this very practical knife.
The Cryo was the result of collaboration between Rick Hinderer and the design and production engineers at Kershaw. ItÌ¥s designed to satisfy usersÌ¥ craving for a Hinderer knife, but at a price that meets the demands of their wallets. The original Cryo (model 1555TI) was selected as a Blade Show ÌÕBest BuyÌÒ and as MenÌ¥s Journal Approved Gear.
Like all Cryos, the G-10-handled Cryo is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening for smooth and easy one-handed opening. Access it with the built-in flipper or thumbstud. The blade steel is heat treated to Kershaw̥s exacting standards. The handle has a G-10 front scale with a stainless steel back. A sturdy frame lock secures the blade open during use and a Hinderer lockbar stabilizer ensures the lock doesn̥t over-extend.
The new Cryo G-10 is equipped with a four-position deep-carry pocketclip for maximum carry flexibility and discretion.

okay knife
I like high end and my experience with this knife was lacking of what I have come to like about Kershaw knives over the years. The assist is overly tight and the steel leaves a lot to be desired. It is easy to sharpen and the blade is held fairly tight by the lock which is also overly stiff IMHO. I'd suggest the leek by Ken Onion or another from their knife line up. There are just too many other knives in this price range that seem to be better.
