Kershaw Cryo II Tanto Assisted Opening Folding Knife Blackwash

The popular Kershaw Cryo II goes tactical with a tanto blade and blackwash finish. The tanto blade extends this practical knife’s versatility even more, providing a strong tip for punching power.

The BlackWash finish gives a knife that already-broken-in look and provides an extra measure of protection for the metal. It also helps hide any additional scratches you may put on the knife during normal use.

The Kershaw Cryo II is the result of collaboration between Rick Hinderer and the design and production engineers at Kershaw. The original Kershaw Cryo (model 1555TI) was selected as a Blade Show “Best Buy” and was chosen as Men’s Journal Approved Gear.

Like all Kershaw Cryos, this BlackWashed version is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening for smooth and easy one-handed opening. Access it with the built-in flipper or thumbstud.

The blade steel is heat treated to Kershaw’s exacting standards. The handle is stainless steel with a sturdy frame lock to securely lock the blade open during use. A Hinderer lockbar stabilizer ensures the lock doesn’t over-extend. For maximum carry flexibility and discretion, the Kershaw BlackWash Cryo II includes a four-position deep-carry pocketclip.

Features

• Flipper: May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The “flipper” is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
• Frame Lock: A portion of the handle (the knife frame) moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. This is a safety feature of the knife.
• Deep Carry
• SpeedSafe®: Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
• 4-Position: The user may position the pocketclip for tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed carry.
