Kershaw Cryo New Orange Scales!

[dcmartin]

Got the Cryo a few days ago, I never quite got used to the spring assist and it just so happens I had a piece of Orange G-10. So I figured, what the hell. It's a well built little tank of a knife but the Ti coating on the scale wasn't to my liking. I Almost went with the Ansø pattern (scaloped) like I have been doing but I recently acquired an Ansø Boker 67 (ironic that this one doesn't have his signature pattern) and really dug the smooth look. It's almost polished but not quite.
I removed the torsion bar, Wow! what a difference...It feels and sounds very similar to my XM-18 (the action does)

Here's what it looks like now

Started out with a little piece of orange G-10

Here's the finished product

It actually is less shiny than it looks

One of my pet peeves is making a scale and not having the blade center up or having the lockup change, this project kept the lockup exact to what it was before and it remained dead nuts centered

My motivation for changing the scale....

Thanks for looking!

That looks great!

How is the detent? On some models the torsion bar is the only thing holding the blade in the handle.

i even like the lanyard on the end

did this lower the overall weight of the knife with the g10?

great looking mod, i like it

Quite simply, that looks awesome! I just got the Cryo, as well, and it's a great little flipper. A bit heavy but very tough for a small edc. Orange is just about my favorite handle scale color, so I'm really digging your scale. Great job!

That looks fantastic!

 

[dakine]

Do want!!

 

[DedRok]

Where would I get a sheet of G10 like that from?

 

[masterj]

Looks good. The grey of the cryo goes well wit the orange.

 

[Orion's Belt]

That looks really good. I'll get a Cryo soon enough and have some G10 pants made for me.

Nice work there, looking great! Love the orange Böker 67 as well

 

[benzology]

Awesome - looks superb

can you make a video of how well the knife opens without the assisted spring, i have mine coming in the mail and i might be interested in doing that as well.

Great work, I didnt like the Cryo at first, but it looks like a whole new (and 10x better) knife, I might have to pick one up so I can mod it.
