Description
The Kershaw Cryo folder features a 2.75" 8Cr13MoV stainless blade, clip point, plain edge, stainless handle, grey finish.
The blade is 8Cr13MoV SS, a budget-friendly Chinese stainless that sharpens easily and resists rust well, though it needs touching up more often than premium steels. Stainless scales are durable and easy to clean, though heavier than polymer.
Around three inches is the everyday carry sweet spot – long enough for boxes, cord, food prep and general utility, short enough to disappear in a pocket.
Carry laws are set locally as well as by state, and a 2.75" blade is legal to carry in many places and not in others – check your state and city rules before you carry it. Knives ship directly to you with no FFL transfer and no background check, unlike a firearm. Keep the blade dry and the pivot clean, and touch the edge up on a strop or fine stone before it gets properly dull – it is far less work than bringing back a blunt edge.
The Cryo is the result of collaboration between Rick Hinderer and the design and production engineers at Kershaw. It is built of pure stainless steel coated with matte grey titanium carbo-nitride for a no-fuss look that lets the design shine through. For secure blade lock up, the Cryo offers a tough frame lock with lockbar stabilization. The Cryo also features Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening for fast and easy one-handed opening. Access it with either the built-in flipper or the thumb stud. Slightly smaller than some Hinderer pocket knives, the Cryo is a superb knife for every day carry.
