Kershaw 1556TI Cryo II
Full description
Rick Hinderer is the knifemaker behind the Cryo II. And he has turned it into something beautiful. A really solid knife for a keen price. It's made of solid stainless steel with a matte grey titanium nitride coating. The assisted opening allows the blade to open quickly and smoothly. Both the thumb rest and the flipper can be used to open the knife with one hand, either left-handed or right handed. The heavy-duty frame lock locks the blade when opened. It is impossible to push the frame lock out too far, because a thin flange limits the space. All in all, it's a well thought out and safe system.

Solid knife with excellent ergonomics at a decent price. Good points are ergonomics, ruggedness, flipper action, blade shape. Bad points are the heavy weight, poor factory edge (regain needed), the pocket clip was too tight (easily adjusted), the assisted opening is not tuned for thumb stud usage. The coating is very slick which may be positive (when removing from pocket) or negative (dirty hands). I like the knife, it quickly became a favourite after some necessary adjustments and I would buy it again if I lost it even if it has 8CR13 steel.
