Kershaw Cryo II 1556TI – Gray

The Cryo II, a Rick Hinderer design, features a slightly larger blade than the original Cryo with the grey titanium carbo-nitride coating on both the blade and the handle. It has the SpeedSafe assisted opening for rapid one-handed opening with both the flipper and thumb-stud. Like all Rick’s knives, the Cryo II benefits from Rick’s real-world experience as a firefighter and EMT. It’s designed to be a sturdy knife that’s still aesthetically pleasing and feels good in the hand. For secure blade lock up, the Cryo II offers a tough frame lock with lockbar stabilization. Though it’s a larger knife, the Cryo II is remarkably slim and rides comfortably deep in the pocket thanks to our deep-carry clip. EDC this guy for a while and we think you’ll soon appreciate its virtues. You get the tactical, hard-use looks you’re looking for, a Hinderer design, and SpeedSafe opening in this amazingly affordable Kershaw that’s destined to be the Hinderer for the rest of us.
