Kershaw Cryo and Cryo 2

I can't help but wonder what the opinion would be if kershaw did with the cryo what spyderco did with the techno? Obviously more money but you would have better materials too.

I think it is a catch 22 in my opinion. You would have superior materials with fit and finish, but the price point is a much larger draw for customers to get all the things they do on the cryo for so little. I feel the advantages of all it offers at the price it offers, far outweighs the disadvantage of weight.

You also have to remember we the knife nuts are a smaller percentage of the customer base who purchase these things. If them bringing the cryo to the table as it is now helps them sell a ton of knives and in return lets them design newer and better knives down the road for us, I'm personally all for it!

I do want to say that I am impressed that everyone in this thread has been pretty polite in discussing all this, and it is great to see that even though we all have different opinions we can still have a good discussion on pros and cons.
 
I would be a buyer of a Cryo with Spyderco Techno specs. Probably not gonna be made in China also...
 
I have EDC my Cryo for about 2 weeks now. The weight is not a problem. The spring is not a problem. The fact that the edge was not ground all the way the the choil was. You know the choil that was put there so the edge could be ground the all the way. yes that choil. I fixed that and still think it is a good knife. I would love it in 14C28N.

If you can't handle 5 ounces for a pocket knife, you need to reevaluate your edc (and hit the gym)... I've never understood that complaint with knives. My wallet weighs as much as my sebenza, my phone twice as much... Too much Nutnfancy...

+1,000,000!

Seriously, grow a pair. People crying and splitting hairs over an ounce or two. If Nutn polished a turd, stuck a blade in it & called it the best 2.5 oz blade, I'm sure all the kool aide drinkers would be all over it.
 
In this size I think that I would prefer the Zing SS. I LOVE my Volt SS but its too large a blade for edc in DC and some other areas, the Zing SS is my next purchase for when I have to be in the District and other 3 inch blade territory.
The Cryo looks like a nice knife, but its just not calling out to me.
 
Update I have been EDC my Cryo at work for about 2 months. Before that it was my OD1. I like everything about the Cryo BUT the steel. it can't hold a edge any better then I can hold a tune. I don't know when but the tip broke ,just the very end. I found it when sharpening which is almost every day. IMO it is sad a great disign has been messed up with a poor steel. Please Kershaw try again with 14C28N.
