Ah, my bad. Perhaps someone from Kershaw can chime in to explain what the "x" in the model number represents and if there is a difference between the 2 models?

The "X" just refers to the packaging type. The knife inside is the same. Various retailers prefer one packaging or the other.
One thing I don't like about my Cryo is that while there is a detent on the lockbar, there is no corresponding indent on the blade. It does serve as a safety detent
when closing the blade, but not as a detent while the blade is closed if the Speed Safe mechanism fails or is removed.

Kershaw should rethink using A/O on a folder of this size.
The Cryo is very similar in size to the original Junkyard Dog, the smaller, all-metal version (model 1720). This is a manual flipper without thumb studs. This folder is a pleasure to use -- it's plenty fast without using A/O.
I really don't know what use the studs are on the Cryo. If you use them, you better be quick or you risk slicing your thumb.
At the very least, Kershaw should redesign the Cryo so that users can easily opt out of the A/O. Many buyers would appreciate having that choice.

C'mon, Lynda, you can tell him the truth. The "X" means that the knife in the package is a mutant and it has special powers like the X-Men. My "X" Cryo can move things with it's mind.

Anyone have pictures of the bead blast version in the wild? The HQ has them in stock but I'm a little unsure how accurate their stock pictures are... the regular Ti finish Cryo looks more desert tan on their page. If it actually looked like that, I'd be all over it, but as it stands, I'm debating between the black version and the bead blast version.
