Cryo II Assisted 3-1 / 4 "Plain Blade, (equipment)

Customer Review

DESIGN & FUNCTION
---------------------------
Since designmäßig the Cryo I and II to the larger blade length are identical, I quote my review of CRYO I excerpts:

"The knife is at the price a great processed folding knife. The design is very minimalist, but also very thoughtful. No Blade game in the locked state.
The handle is at certain points corrugations that provide an excellent grip when holding the knife.

In addition, the (very tight) clip lets on both sides, so for left- and right-handed, and then attach even tip-up (blade upward when folded) and tip-down (blade down when folded). For the reassembly of the retaining clip which is secured with two small cog, albeit a very small Torx Bit is required, I would have to get me down (if necessary before buying with concerns).

The Daumenpins are probably designed solely for one-handed closing the knife.
Because the two-sided Daumenpins I can - and I believe I'm not too weak without exaggeration, about my thumb force - not reasonable to use to open. So if I with the greatest effort (!) Looking through a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the handle, outward directed force application of the thumb can move the blade from the handle, the blade swings unfortunately to a maximum of half and then remain unsecured on the spot ,

For one-handed opening by Flipper see below, under the point defect.

The liner-lock locking can be handed without exercise is not easy to solve. But with a little practice klappts.

The knife was delivered razor sharp from the factory. "

The handle length is at the Cryo 2 whopping 11.5 cm, ie 3 cm longer than the CRYO I representing my hand much better size. The Cryo 2 brings through the more grounded of course a little more on the scale, but the difference feels low.

Injunction
--------------------------
Weapons legally valid daselbe as when I CRYO
Lt. Waffenrecht could Mitsichführen of CRYO II for ordinary petrol represent a proper legal problem, because the wording of § 42a Para. 1 No. 3 WaffG ("It shall be prohibited [...] knife with one-handed lockable blade (hand knife) or fixed blade with blades of more than 12 cm [...] to lead. ") can also be read so that folding knife with one-handed lockable blade (Einhandmesser) allowed with blade length from the first millimeter can not be done at hand with him (in a sealed briefcase / handbag inside pocket well - but not in the backpack)! Who violates this provision, can be covered with fine of up to EUR 10,000.
Fortunately, I can as a scout invoke the exception Customs ("all-time good deeds ready").
Of course, the provision can be read so that to the one-handed detectability must be added a blade length of 12 cm. But this decision remains the / the respective magistrate / left -in the Owi process.

This problem is true of course also on the Cryo I and THERMITE Kershaw.

Note: The above statements do not constitute legal advice is, but give my personal opinion! ;-)

The blade of the CRYO II can be opened with one hand only means of Flipper as the CRYO I.

MALFUNCTION
-----------
Unfortunately, I seem to have received a CRYO-II instance that was delivered with a broken spring.
This means that the blade not quite snaps (or only unreliable every 5th time) and then remains open in the unsecured state, which is a high risk of injury.

In this respect, the knife is useless as EDC and goes back. Here Kershaw has failed quality assurance, which is why I give only two stars because the knife otherwise indeed is great, but the knife so not in the trade should not have come.

ALTERNATIVE
------------------
Decided I ultimately a KERSHAW THERMITE me () that just perfect for me (although that can be opened with one hand only by Flipper).

CONCLUSION
-------
KERSHAW makes great knife, at a reasonable price - if only the flippers would work reliably.
