Review: High Quality Pocket Knife - Kershaw's Cryo pocket knife is the perfect size for an everyday carry knife. I love the speed assisted opening feature. This the first pocket knife that I have owned that had assisted opening. The blade snaps out and locks safely and securely. The 2.75-inch blade is perfect for packages, rope, cord and other typical daily uses. It should serve me well. The blade is razor sharp out of the box. The grip is comfortable, and the speed assist lever serves as an extra safety feature to keep your index finger from sliding forward onto the blade. I can get all four fingers on the grip if I choose to.
Review: My New EDC Knife - I looked at this knife for a while before actually purchasing. I was carrying a larger folder knife and every now and then if I had to carry other things around in my pockets it would get in the way. I saw the other reviews on this knife and made note of it's smaller size, but it took me a while to actually purchase. I am glad I did purchase this knife. Build quality is great, the finish is flaw free, and every bolt and screw is tight. The blade also came very sharp and has held up for a few weeks now without needing to be resharpened. SpeedSafe assisted opening took only a few openings to get the hang of opening quickly. I would have to say it is safe to open the knife this way. Fingers have to be out of the way or the knife cannot open. It's also on the opposite side of the handle from the blade which would make it very difficult to slip and have the fingers go in the way of the blade, probably not impossible, but much more difficult than most other knives I have owned or handled. The way the blade locks into place when opened is very strong. There is a part of the frame that, when the blade is up, drops down underneath the blade to keep it from closing. Myself and a few others from work spent some time messing with this and trying to get it to fail, but none of us could. It feels safer than the knives that have the lock on the back of the handle that acts like a button press. It's very possible to, when trying to pry something, grip the knife in a way that depresses that lever. It seems very difficult to do that with this knife's frame lock. When gripping, the hand is wrapped around the frame which would make it very difficult to spread the frame open and allow the lock to disengage. The color is nice and not too shiny. Light doesn't create a glare on it when it's in my pocket. Overall this a very nice knife. I would say it's best use is an every day carry knife. It's the right size and weight to clip in to the pocket. I wear it all day and it hasn't been in the way of me getting anything out of my pockets yet. Very pleased with the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is this knife made?**
A: These knives are made in China. Is still a great knife. I have the Cryo and the Cryo 2. Feels great in your hand. Feels like a knife should feel.

**Q: can this knife be easily closed with one hand?**
A: After playing around with the knife more and more it does get easier to close with one hand . I do recamend this knife, it is amazing!

**Q: does it have any sort of locking mechanism for safety?**
A: There is no additional safety mechanism beyond the frame lock itself. I have never had an issue with the blade unlocking even inadvertently however, even under high pressure. The locking arm extends further behind the blade than many of my other folders and is an extremely safe design.

**Q: is this knife stamped china ?**
A: Absolutely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect knife for me
*by P***S on November 14, 2013*

This knife is exactly what I was looking for, as it met every one of my criteria. I'm no knife expert, and I really don't have the appreciation (or at least the budget) for the higher quality knives that are out there. Here's what I was looking for: 1) Good price point. I got mine for $25. This is a basic EDC for me, and being in my pocket (see 2 below) vs my belt or a sheath means it has at least some chance of being lost at any time. So there's no point in paying 5x as much for a zero tolerance or other higher end knife. 2) I'm in a white collar environment. I probably shouldn't even have an EDC on me at work at all since some would consider it a 'weapon', whereas I consider it a tool. So the sleek look is another bonus. I was expecting the handle to be a little slick but that's really not the case at all. It looks and feels good. 3) I was using a cheap Gerber that was pretty tiny. About the size of a SOG Flash 1. I wanted something that wasn't much longer (see 2 above) but had a little more beef to it. The Cryo has a slightly longer handle but is easily 50% wider and just fits much better in my hand. But the blade actually seems a little stubby compared to the handle.....which is what I wanted. The blade is plenty big enough for EDC uses, but probably not big enough for people to freak out when they see it. 4) I wanted something with a flipper and thumb stud. Very nice assisted opening action. The flipper actually works so well that the thumb stud isn't even necessary. I'm not going to get into what kind of steel the blade is made from, or the fact that it's made in China, or tip up or tip down. Other reviewers will cover that. It's a $25 knife from a reputable manufacturer that meets my needs perfectly. I will keep it in my amazon cart and watch for a price drop just so I can make sure I have a spare. Hope this review is helpful.
