Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's hard to find knives in a good size to fit all pants pockets unless it's an ity bity knife. No fuss, just a little envelope with the pocket clip and two fresh screws.



Cons

The kershaw is heavy for what you get and you get wobble if you move it back and forth. Blade alignment is off to the point that it scrapes on the frame. When folded the blade strikes the inside of the handle as it closes.

I hope i am able to do an exchange on this knife and that the knife i received was just a fluke. I'm not going to play this game if it looks like i'm bucking the odds.

The knife is not as pictured. Received knife that could be described at matte grey. On close inspection one washer looks yellowish in color, one is a grey metal of some kind.

No lengthy learning curve or break-in period. Biggest complaint is the more you want to play with the knife's flippy action, the closer you are to losing it altogether.

Quality


The fit and finish is good, the flipper is good, the lock works well and the clip is great and allows the knife to sit low in the pocket.


The spring assist open works great i can deploy it as fast as my full auto gerber and benchmade knives.


The pocket clip, after three years of abuse, snapped!


5lb push to open, the liner lock takes roughly two pounds to clear it, and it takes roughly three pounds applied near the tip w...  Read More

Price


It checks all the boxes i wanted in an inexpensive knife.


It's a nice looking knife at a very reasonable price.


Unfortunately, starting in 11/21 i believe there is a $25 fee for a blade that does not fall under the warranty.


I have silly knives that cost into the multiple hundreds of dollars.

Shipping


I received the kershaw cryo one week ago and really like it.


Came in ahead of time and in good condition.


I put in the request, expecting it to ship sometime in the next few weeks, but it arrived in under a week.

Packaging/appearance


Has opened many boxes and done all the things one needs an edc knife to do.


No fuss, just a little envelope with the pocket clip and two fresh screws.

Competitiveness


Pains me to say it but it’s better in every way than the usa made knives at tsc i was comparing it to.


It turns out that the tsa is not a fan of these.

    I was dumb enough to use it as a pry bar in an emergency on the appalachian trail and snapped the very tip off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That was 3 years ago i just sharpened it to a new tip


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This knife has seen moderate use for a year


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not as a chisel prybar or screwdriver


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This force decreases nonlinear until the last 15 degrees of arc swing where it snaps shut


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A number of models employ locking mechanisms to keep the blade closed which can be awkward to deploy others have become sloppy with wear and can catch or activate unexpectedly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This will not replace fixed blades or proper tools but for a beater pocket knife it has held up pretty well
