Custom Cryo

Ok the deed has been done and im now registered as a knife maker. I sent you a PM with the details of where to send the knife.
The only thing ive done to the lock side is stone washed and put a 9mm case for the lock stop. All of which will be done to yours if you want.

Can you hit me with details on the reverse comb (and 9mm stop if you add that) price?

*edit - I have been encouraged to stay on my original plan of waiting for the 1556ti by my better half.

Here is the back of the knife.
First was before the stone wash but it has the the 9mm lockbar stabilizer. Making something a little different for it now.

Wish I still had my BM Pinicale.

I'm sure your set, but I always have extra cutters and stuff around.

I was thinking about trying the same thing until I can save up for a real Hinderer. I like how yours turned out!
 
Not sure Id have you do a Cryo but def one of my knives! So I think you better get your makers membership bud!! :D

Looking at all the pretty pictures you guy post of the work you've done.

I bought a Cryo before buying any of my other Kershaws (that took off!) but I returned it because I dropped it. I realized although I liked it it felt small when I tried to open it although I have small hands anyway. So back it went, I ordered a bunch of other knives but I just can't resist the temptation of the price and quality that the Cryo offers, and it's a slightly different knife than the others I have. I wanted to wait for the 1556 but since there isn't any real release date estimated for that one I guess a Cryo is getting back into my arsenal. It's a nice little piece either way but the mods you guys have done really brings it up to a whole new level. I also regretted having returned my Cryo before ordering my SS Zing as I would have liked to give a head to head comparison versus the one that Everyday Commentary or whatever has tops the search list when you look for Cryo reviews and completely (irrationally) bashes the Cryo. So lots of reasons, I just needed a little push :D I realize the chance of having it stone washed or etched doesn't change the size of it but really I just regret having returned the one I did and was looking for an excuse to get one.

Yeah I been wait for the Cryo 2 also. Hopefully it gets released soon. The Cryo is the smallest knife I carry. Most of my other knifes are around 3 1/2 inch long. But the Cryo is a tank. I love the design of it. Also now with the work done to it, a lot of people think its some crazy expensive custom knife.

It is a tank. It's heavy but it's a solid knife. The other Chinese Kershaws I own really are not as solid as the Cryo. I hope to be in contact with you guys, those knives look awesome.

Edit - My Zing SS is a solid feeling knife (as are the rest) but it locks up too tightly with the frame lock.
 
Coating removed, then stonewashed:

I am thinking about doing some acid etch tiger stripes on the handle as well. :cool:
