Kershaw Cryo II

The BlackWash finish isn't just for looks; it provides an extra layer of protection for the steel and is excellent at hiding scuffs, scratches, and wear that naturally occur during heavy use. It gives the knife a rugged, broken-in aesthetic right out of the box.

SpeedSafe is a torsion bar mechanism that helps you open the knife smoothly and quickly. Once you start the opening process using the built-in flipper, the mechanism takes over to complete the blade deployment, allowing for easy one-handed operation.

It is built with an all-stainless steel construction and a robust frame lock, making it quite sturdy. While it is a capable everyday carry knife, the 8Cr13MoV steel is durable and easy to sharpen, though it may require more frequent maintenance than premium steels if used for very heavy, prolonged cutting.

Yes, the Cryo II features a four-position deep-carry pocket clip. You can configure it for tip-up or tip-down carry on either the left or right side of the handle to suit your preference.

The lockbar stabilizer is a crucial feature that prevents the frame lock from being pushed too far outward. This stops the lock from over-traveling, which ensures the locking mechanism remains reliable and secure over the life of the knife.

The Cryo II is a larger, XL version of the original award-winning design. It maintains the same Rick Hinderer styling and all-steel construction but offers a longer 3.25-inch blade and a slightly larger handle for a more substantial grip.
