For an affordable workhorse, the Rick Hindered-designed Cryo, a high-quality import, that’s a great way to get signature Hindered style and design elements on a budget, the Cryo is a stainless steel frame lock with a 2.75” blade made from 8CR13MOV, offers great corrosion resistance, great wear-resistance but it has low edge retention, this is a speed safe equipped flipped knife with a broad drop point blade, and you can open it with the included thumb studs, or with that flipper, it does have a four-position deep carry pocket clip, which means you can carry it in any pocket easily, but it’s only gonna be truly deep carry in a tip-down configuration.
This knife definitely has Rick Hinderer’s style written all over it, but we also get one of his signature elements, and that’s the disc on the back that acts as an overtravel arrestor, it keeps you from pushing the lock bar out too far if you get overzealous when closing the knife.
Overall this knife is solid and it’s gonna just work hard for you, and you can feel it as soon you pick one up.
