EWC88 24 Posted December 31, 2013 So I am getting into the knife world and got my first one for christmas. I went with a kershaw and I am pretty happy. I gave a lot of models on what I liked and I recieved the kershaw brawler which I did fall in love with first time I seen it. So I recieved that and I LOVE it! Now I can't wait to get more types! Here's some pics I took. First thing the knife got to cut was also my knuckle! Dumb me was rushing opening other gifts and pointing wrong way and SLAM on my knuckle lol.

seamusSU 0 Posted December 31, 2013 I've got a Kershaw Black Shallot as my range bag knife and love it. Very smooth opening without the loud click when it locks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malice4you 627 Posted December 31, 2013 You don't own a knife until it bites you anyway, so you got that part out of the way already. Enjoy it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contrvlr 17 Posted December 31, 2013 i was thinking about getting a kershaw as well.. anyone have any thoughts on this one? (cryo folding "tactical" knife).. im not really getting "into" the knife world like the OP, but i wanted something that was a decent everyday carry/pocket knife..Like the look, a lot Got to handle one at L&H on 35, found it to be uncomfortable in my med. sized hands, don't know why, I have a CRKT KISS in my pocket everyday that I'm fine with There is a larger Cryo 2 , hoping that feels better in my hand ( just my opinion ; never order a knife before handling it ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dslar 0 Posted December 31, 2013 I have the Cryo and I love it. It has become my regular carry. I also have the scallion and leek by kershaw. Price on the Cryo was good, knife is sharp as anything and fits very nicely clipped in the pocket. With the flat design i always forget it's there, but the clip is very tight and holds well to both jeans and smoother pants like khaki and suit paints. I bought the CRKT shenanigan, also a good knife. A lot bigger than the Cryo both length and width of the handle, I definitely notice this knife when I carry it around. If your looking for a good smaller starter knife, can't go wrong with the scallion by kershaw. Nice blade, not to big, has the speed safe design and fits well in pocket and hand. I actually bought my wife the purple one also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhitetailMathewsZ7 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Everyones complaints with the cryo 1 are pretty much fixed with the cryo 2. It was just alittle small for so many people including myself. I love the cryo 2. Fast, Slim, great quality for the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSD1026 48 Posted January 6, 2014 so i went ahead and ordered the Kershaw Cryo II 1556Ti.... will hopefully like it.. yeah, i didnt play with it before ordering.. was free to me (GC from Amazon) so what's the harm.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norseman 2 Posted January 6, 2014 Any of you guys thinking about buying a quality EDC knife and you want to support American based businesses should lookup usamadeblade.com. The guy gives knives away every Thursday on Facebook. I'm the recipient of a ZT300 ...love it too!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
302w 83 Posted January 8, 2014 Be careful with those Kershaws.. I'm on my third. My first was a rainbow leek. Lasted me two years IIRC before I lost it. Second was a G10/S30v leek, that lasted one year. Now I'm on a S30v blur. The leeks fell out of my pocket. I still love leeks though. For $30 for a base model on ebay, it can't be beat. I don't think there is a cheaper American made knife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SW99 2 Posted January 8, 2014 i picked up a 1555BLK 4 months back, and love it. Love the all black color and it works great and the price is very reasonable for what you get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SW99 2 Posted January 8, 2014 so i went ahead and ordered the Kershaw Cryo II 1556Ti.... will hopefully like it.. yeah, i didnt play with it before ordering.. was free to me (GC from Amazon) so what's the harm.. Its like the one I just picked up, but I got the BLK version which is just all black. I love it, carry it every single day pretty much everywhere I go.
