    I've had my Cryo for about a year and I love it! I carry it tip down in my back pocket. I have a short lanyard on it which makes for getting it quickly out of the pocket. I also have a SOG Mini Aegis, which is just a tiny bit bigger and has a better pocket clip. But I really don't like the lock mechanism on SOG knives; I find them very awkward. So I carry the SOG in my purse because it's lightweight. But my Cryo is my go-to blade. Thanks for the great review!

    Good review with helpful size comparisons. I too have opted to carry the Kershaw Cryo daily after trying other knives and being unsatisfied. The Cryo is nicely balanced and sturdy, and has held up without issue to 2 years of carry and use. The deep pocket clip is one of the best features - mostly because it prevents the knife from falling out of my back pocket or getting snagged on chairs, etc. Just be sure to review laws per state because in many states (including Oregon, where I live) concealing a knife with a spring assist blade "that swings open into position" is illegal. Having the pocket clip showing is generally accepted as not concealing, even if the knife itself is not visible.

    Great review......it caused me to go to BladeHQ and buy one of the "Plain Grey" versions of it this morning. I've been using a Benchmade 15055 Bone Collector that my son gave me as a Christmas gift. I asked for that model since I had to have half of my right thumb amputated and can't use the assist function of most knives. I didn't know about the flipper function until I saw your video. Thanks.

    I bought one right after you posted this video. I'm not sorry. It is rugged and as it turns out, it's the best of the many Kershaw knives i own. Kind of large for my EDC needs but it is one of my go-to's when the need arises. My primary REC is Hogue Deka magnacut reverse tanto. I recommend this knife without reservation.

It's an amazing little knife for EDC and the blackwash finish is very desirable to me. If you can't afford (or just don't want to spend that much on) a US made Zero Tolerance and want a similar design and feel, this knife if the way to go! Thanks again and keep the reviews coming!

I have the Cryo 2 also, and find them very close to the quality of the ZT 560/561, which are my EDCs. Kershaw got this one just right, I think. The Cryo is a pip, that's for sure!

    I like my CRYO too. Rounding off sharp edges of of the flipper just a little made it more comfortable on my finger. Included instructions with knife recommend moving clip to to other side for right front pocket carry, but it will not carry as deeply in pocket that way. Upside to swapping clip is easier/faster access to flipper when drawing. Thanks for another informative review.

    Bought one of these based on this review and am very happy with it. It's my EDC and is the standard (gray) finish. It was less than $25.00!! Great quality for the price. Do wish the thumb studs actually worked but can live with it. Also find the clip just a tad too tight (to the point it actually damages jeans) but I think I can tweak that out a bit. The blade is razor sharp and has been durable so far (light duty). The finger guard was a key selling feature and is great. Thank you for the excellent review!

For Falia or anyone else who's got one of these: how's the traction overall? I've got largeish hands (9.5" span), and I ended up needing to add skateboard tape to my Leek and Chive just to be able to hold on to the things. I want one of these things, but I'd rather not have to mess up the excellent looks.

It is one awesome knife, well made and I love the washed out look. Its a bit shorter than my Spyderco I've been carrying, which has a bad edge that has chips in it and I have cut only paper and cardboard with it, I'll never buy another Spyderco and I will say the Kershaw Blackwash CRYO looks to have a much better blade than the Spyderco,. I only wish it had Made In The USA stamped on the blade and not China......Great review falia.
