Kershaw Cryo Knives

A Rick Hinderer knife, the Cryo series of knives are results of a collaboration between Hinderer and the designers of Kershaw. Skillfully crafted and beautifully designed, the Cryo is built of pure stainless steel coated in titanium carbo-nitride for a no-fuss, no frills, sleek knife. The Cryo is designed with EMTs, police officers and first responders in mind. A sturdy knife that is aesthetically pleasing and feels great in the hand, the Cryo offers users a secure blade lockup using a tough frame lock and SpeedSafe Assisted Opening accessed using either a flipper or thumbstud.

Signature to a classic Hinderer design, Rick Hinderer uses a lockbar stabilizer in many of his designs. Hinderer claims fame over his Hinderer-style filler tabs among many other award-winning technologies and collaborations in Kershaw’s knife lines. Famous for the Kershaw Cryo, Hinderer designs unique and powerful knives built tough and built to last.

High-Performance Steel

A budget friendly, reliable, top-of-the-line Chinese produced steel, 8Cr13MoV steel has carbon and slightly less nickel for hardness and edge retention. Kershaw’s precision heat treated 8Cr13MoV steel strongly takes and holds an edge and offers wear resistance that can withstand damage from both abrasive and adhesive wear. 8Cr13MoV is a value blade steel featuring high performing characteristics.

Attractive Blade Finish and Coating

Kershaw’s patented Blackwash finish derives from a balanced blend of blade coating and stonewashing. Together the two produce a precisely formulated all-black matte finish impervious to fingerprints, smudges and marring. And, even though the knife itself is brand new, Blackwash projects a well-worn, vintage look popular for blending comfortably with clothes and gear during everyday use and carry.

Black oxide coating is a chemical bath, or conversion coating, that converts the surface of the blade steel to magnetite. Mainly for appearance, black oxide does add some mild corrosion resistance and tends to minimize light reflection from the blade. The blackening process gives the blade an attractive, smooth, tactical, fierce black surface that is very desirable to knife owners.

Fast Deployment

Using a torsion bar to move the blade out of the handle, Kershaw’s revolutionary SpeedSafe Assisted Opening system enables smooth, secure, fast one-handed blade deployment. Apply manual pressure to the flipper or thumb stud with a light push or pull back to overcome resistance of the torsion bar, and the blade opens smoothly and locks into place for confident handling without premature closure.

Secure Locking System

Kershaw’s frame lock design makes knives safer, securer, sturdier and quicker for one-handed blade deployment. The knife handle, or frame, has two metal plates on either side of the blade, and when open, the lockbar butts up against the blade’s backend to prevent blade closure. To close the knife blade, push the frame to the side to unlock the blade and fold the blade back into the handle.

One-Handed Flipper

Knives with SpeedSafe open have two options for one-handed blade deployment. To activate the smooth, instant open, user can push a thumbstud or press a flipper. The flipper on SpeedSafe assisted knives is easy to operate by both left- and right-handed users. And, once blade swings open and locks into place, flipper either disappears for aesthetics or remains visible for added finger protection.

Durable Handle

Stainless steel contains chromium to equip knife handles to withstand rusting and provide corrosion resistance. Stainless steel offers durability and is often used in combination with another material to make for an easier grip. Offering excellent durability, stainless steel knife handles often incorporate etching, patterns, ridges or lines for a less slippery grip.

Convenient Pocketclip

Kershaw designs pocketclips to fit specific knives according to their weight, intended end use, size, style and hardware. Some knives have multiple carry options, others are more streamlined. The 4-position pocketclip allows tip-up or tip-down carry on both the right and left sides, providing users the most versatility. Proper use of the pocketclip promotes safety and efficiency while using knife.

• Titanium carbo-nitride coating adds distinct appeal and blade protection to the durable, reliable, strong, quality 8Cr13MoV steel blade. The drop-point blade offers solid performance and value
• Awesome, stylish, classy, exciting, flashy, blue-gray handles with a carbon fiber overlay distinguish the knife amongst others. The eye-catching color combination is unique and impressive
• Opened with a built-in flipper, the KVT ball-bearing opening makes opening the knife manually safe, secure, fast, quick, convenient, and protective
• The all-black hardware along with the oversized pivot really add to the interest and stunning design of the knife. A decorative backspacer adds another element of embellishment and style
• A custom-designed deep carry pocketclip mimics the lines of the special recess machined into the handle to complete this attractive, easy to use, perfect everyday carry

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is opened in inches
Answer:	Hello, when I purchased this Kershaw as I have given it away as a gift already, I believe it was right around 3.25 inches. FYI it is a very hard blade to open, the flip out mechanism is very stiff and would not loosen up or get easier even after oiling the mechanism. You may want to check out some of the auto knives at blade op’s.com or blade HQ as you will find much nicer and more functional knives through these sellers. Good luck
Question:	Is this knife made in the USA
Answer:	Kershaw is owned by Kai which is a Japanese blade company but from their web site ( Kershaw’s quality products are made in our 55,000 sq. ft. facility in Tualatin, Oregon (just south of Portland)). Just google it.
Question:	I live in suffolk county, ny. this knife is completely legal in suffolk county. why can't it be shipped here
Answer:	Call the vendor from whom you are purchasing the knife and ask them.
Question:	does the knife lock
Answer:	“The sub-frame lock design provides secure blade lock up while reducing weight for ease of carry. “ This is a quote from the Blade HQ description of the knife. The lock up is solid, yet easy to release for one handed closing. Excellent lightweight EDC knife. If by lock, you are referring to a “safety” like the Kershaw Leek or Scallion, the the answer is no.
