Destined to be an EDC favorite, the BlackWash Cryo, designed by famous knife maker Rick Hinderer and built by Kershaw, boasts discreet carry with tip-to-butt black oxide coating for a non-reflective finish that blends easily with worn and rugged jeans, boots or jackets. Slightly smaller than many Hinderer knives, this steel 4.1 ounce folder fits any size palm and opens quickly with one hand thanks to its SpeedSafe assisted opening, built-in ambidextrous flipper and accessible thumbstud. Cryo offers deep carry option, 4-position pocketclip and embedded lanyard hole for personal comfort and delivers remarkable security in a tactical package with sturdy frame lock, lockbar stabilizer, 8Cr13MoV blade steel for extra hardness and modified 2.75 inch drop point blade for a tip too strong to break. Excellent value, trusted engineering, multi-function capabilities and companionability mark BlackWash Cryo for a lifetime of respect between itself and anyone fortunate enough to handle it.

So sharp from the factory that I cut off the tip of my thumb accidentally Here are some of the things I was looking for in a knife:Flipper (the piece of metal from the blade that sticks out the other side of the handle when the knife is closed, that you push with your index finger to open the knife as opposed to using the thumb studs)4-position clip (however I decided after using it that I prefer tip-down carry in my right pocket, I thought I wanted tip-up)Not bulky (no extra plastic on the handle, just minimal utilitarian metal to keep weight and…
So nice I bought it twice! What a great knife! It’s become my go-to for EDC because it is the perfect weight, size, and it carries discreetly. I typically keep a knife in each of my vehicles. I’ve always had different knives in each because I couldn’t find the one that “did it all”. This is it!It’s large enough to feel good in your hand, but small enough to carry discreetly. It has great assist action, and feels really solid when opening and closing. The blade was not as sharp as I had hoped when it…
I really like it’s size I bought this knife to replace my Spyderco Tenacious as my everyday carry. I really like it’s size, blade sharpness, look, adjustable carry clip, assisted opening, and it’s price. The two things I wish were different are the grips and the thumb studs.The size of this knife is perfect. My Tenacious was just a little too big in my pocket, and this little Cryo is very low profile; I don’t notice it until i need it, and then, bam! out it comes with the assisted opening. Even though it’s…
