Kershaw Cryo Speed Safe Folding Knife @ Amazon $27.08

Instead of getting 2, I got one of these and 1 of the Kershaw Leek knives. Serrated.

For some reason all the USA made knifes are getting rejected in checkout for me and I live in NY. I read that its happening to some ppl too. But when I add the cryo its allow to ship that is wired. Why are USA made knifes not allow to ship to NY?

Is it maybe because the length of the blade is too big for your state? Each state has their own knife laws and blades vary regularly.
Just a thought...

Quote from Find_A_Deal : $104,000 /yr income is not the norm. I'd love to know where it is though.

Here are some examples of college majors you can choose. And these are the ones where the average is higher than 100k. I was saying that 100k is the norm for a hard worker....

Out of the whole list I got the Slavo to work lol But im not too fond of it. I really wanted the leek though.

My kershaw collection
1 speedform II
2 scallion
1 chive
1 chill
4 skylines
1 lfk
2 mini carabiners
1 cryo

While the cryo is made oversea, it has the same fit and finish as USA made knives. While the cryo is a good looking blade and i was initially excited to get it....DONT... i find it much too heavy and bulky. I have to force myself to edc it. Chill or skyline is the way to go cheap and quality (scallion/chives are too pretty to be used

That's what they like to tell people when they are still in school. After you graduate and the real world sets in, you learn that your real education is yet to come and these lists that they like to throw out in front of you are greatly exaggerated. This comes from first hand experience.

On the topic of kershaw knives. I would love to see the Skyline brought back down to the $25 mark. It's probably the best EDC knife I've found so far. But I'm looking forward to trying out one of these Cryo's.

Knives just arrived. I like them but am a bit new to the knife owning club, so handling these is just a reminder of how awkward I've always felt about the closing method/mechanism on folders. It's like I'm going to cut off my fingers attempting to close the thing. Am I the only one that thinks it's amazingly dangerous to require you to put your fingers directly in harms way to close a knife? I'll need some practice...

Any current owners have any tips, and could possibly advise on how easily this has opened unintentionally (in pocket or otherwise)?

picked up 2 leeks for 50 thanks!

You really don't like the cryo? How heavy and bulky is it when compared to the skyline?

Ditto on that. In this employer's market, you're not going to see 98k for ANY entry level position. Wife and her classmates are chemical engineering grads from UCLA and no one got above 70k. This is Chevron and Tessoro [sic] etc

Computer science? Unless you get into Fortune500, you're more likely to be 40k.

Back to knives, I got a cryo and a leek. Can't wait!

Want to add that wherever you got that list from, probably also provides the 'prevailing wage' numbers for technicians and specialist. ie: A typical technician/installer gets paid $15/hr on most jobs, but when we deal with city/federal projects, they have to be paid prevailing wages. Which is anywhere from 25 to 35/hr.

Its not common.

Quote from Jordan821 : You really don't like the cryo? How heavy and bulky is it when compared to the skyline?

Heres a size comparison.

cryo 4.2 oz full steel construction and frame lock, also i find it much hard to deploy than my other assisted opening kershaws (sharp edge on the flipper doesnt help)

Skyline 2.4oz has one steel liner + g10 liner (liner lock; the flipper is nice and rounded.

oh yea as for width, theyre the same, had to put it side to side right now lol (could have sworn the cryo was thicker but guess thats what solid steel makes you think)
