Kershaw Cryos and Kershaw Volt SS

[mikegideon]

Great cheap designer knives. I haven't even wiped the oil off these. Finish is great on all. Hard to tell from the pics.

 

I love the Cryo, and have given a couple away as gifts. It's a baby Hinderer. Here are the 3 available versions that I'm aware of. It's a small knife, and heavy for it's size, but works real well. The blade on one of the black ones is slightly off center. I'll fix that.

 

The Volt SS is cool as well. RJ Martin design, and not hard to tell.

 

I think I'm done for a week or two.

Mike, I think you may have a problem. I've never seen anyone build a collection this fast.

 

 

 

Send me your credit card for a few weeks for safe keeping.  :cool:

[mikegideon]

They're a lot cheaper than guns, at least so far. It's not a collection yet. Willis, Kong, or Mav could chop down 100 acres of corn without resharpening anything :).

I was wondering that myself.  MG, have you always been a blade fiend or is this a recent development?

[mikegideon]

Recent. It's pretty easy to get the bug. Can't fit any more guns into my safe, but have some air gaps. :)

Kershaws make you do crazy thing, kinda like tequila.

 

At least Kershaw never made anyone hate themselves afterwards.

I had a couple of Kershaws back in the 80's. Black Pony and Black Colt I believe. They really know how to put an edge on those blades.

Im waiting on the Cryo II although the Cryo I I did have was nice albeit too small for me.

Yep, it happens fast. Looks like you're on a normal trajectory so far. Enjoy the ride:)

Crap now I want a Cryo. I've ignored them for a long time but it's better than dropping ZT money...

The blade on one of the black ones is slightly off center. I'll fix that.

I have an aging blade that's gradually becoming off center too. How do you fix that?

[mikegideon]

On the Cryo or the Volt, it will be a loose pivot or the scales aren't aligned right. They're both frame locks, so the lock bar tries to push the blade to one side. If the knife has a lot of wear, it could be pivot bushings. There are some youtube videos on blade centering. You want to watch a couple of them. I suck at explaining stuff. :) I would try dinking with the pivot tension first. Small adjustments at a time, maybe a 16th of a turn.

 

I'm not so worried about it if the blade isn't close to scraping on one of the liners.

Kershaws make you buy ZTs, leading you to then seek out Rick Hinderer at shows in an attempt to win a shot at buying the rare and fabled XM-18! This behavior gets spendy.

 

Really like my Cryo and can't wait for a Cryo 2. Lot's of people will be getting Cryo 2s for Christmas this year if the supply allows.

I like my volt a lot. Friend gave it to me a while back and it's a good bit thinner than the Sog I carried for several years.
