The Kershaw Cryo 1555BW is a popular EDC knife developed in collaboration with renowned knife designer Rick Hinderer.The Kershaw Cryo is an award-winning folding knife that has been a huge hit in the EDC knife market and has enjoyed unbroken popularity among knife enthusiasts.Proven steel Kershaw Cryo in created for everyday use and outdoor use , which clearly emphasized optimal size , reliable construction , and typically functional style .The 70 mm long blade is made from the popular 8Cr13MoV steel , hardened to 57-59 HRC . This Chinese steel has good corrosion resistance and hardenability comparable to AUS6 .The corrosion resistance, good sharpness and easy sharpening of the 8Cr13MoV steel blade make it perfect for everyday use with just a pocketknife.Functional bladeThe robust blade with a usable drop point profile has an effective BlackWash coating (black oxidation) which effectively covers any scratches or abrasions caused by use.Thanks to the strong tip, concave cutting and fine curved cutting edge, the knife has good cutting properties and the blade does not get caught in the material being cut.The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.8 mm, which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work. The transversal milling grooves on the spine of the blade allow for stable support of the fingers while working.Comfort of useThe blade can be extended with one hand in two ways: with a marted frog foot or with a double-sided pin, allowing you to choose the method you prefer.Both solutions are comfortable for right- and left-handed users and also allow for comfortable knife handling with gloves on.The opening process is facilitated by the SpeedSafe support mechanism . When you press down the flipper fin or extend the pin, the support mechanism activates an internal spring that dynamically extends the blade, making the knife ready for use in a split second.Robust lockThe monolithic frame lock, considered to be one of the most durable locking mechanisms, protects against accidental blade retraction. The lock strap has a buffer that prevents it from deforming and slipping too far. The lock, like the flipper and the pin, can be operated with one hand.Carrying clipDiscreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is possible thanks to the high mounted clip, it can be fixed in 4 positions (up / down, right / left). The handle also has a hole for attaching the decorative paracord braid, which is very popular with most knife owners.Simple and stylishThe handle of the knife is made of 410 stainless steel casing, finely profiled to fit the hand. To protect the handle, a BlackWash protective coating is used, like the blade, giving the knife an antique look.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSheet informationBlade profile Drop PointBlade lock type Frame lockKnife type foldingStainless steel type - Sandvik 14C28N Additional informationClip for carrying is providedSheath material metal - stainless steelCorrosion resistance highDull resistance averageCut type concave Opening assistance yes, Spring-loadedApplication (intended use) EDCMetersOverall length [mm] 165Blade length [mm] 70Length after folding [mm] 95Blade thickness [mm] 3Weight [g] 116
