2x Kershaw Cryo Speed Safe Folding Knives $44 + Free Shipping

Quote from gigaboom : What's not to like about flippers? I have a drawer full of thumb-stud-openers, but find it very hard (and slow) to go back to them after getting used to flippers. I do open them with the side of my index finger between the first and second knuckle. I never understood that delicate little finger-tip flip you see a lot, which requires much more shift of grip, applies a lot less strength, and is obviously more dependent on accuracy, more error-prone and less reliable under bad conditions.

Honestly, I only own one flipper and it's not a Speed Safe, so it's possible I'm not giving them a fair shake.

Ever since my first "real" knife years ago, a early 90's combo edge Benchmade Emerson CQC7, I've been glued to thumb studs. I've owned many other brands of quality liner locks, but my Dad, a former Snap On dealer actually introduced me to quality Kershaw's. He gave me a red handled Blur, plain edge with the Snap On logo etched into the blade ( just like this one; http://i141.photobucket.com/album...912529.jpg ). Since that point, I've actually purchased nothing but Kershaw's. I've not found anything that gives me the quality and warranty that the Kershaw's do. I own some variants of Leek's and Chives' as well as a few Blackout's and an assortment of Blur's. My EDC is a black/black Blur, tanto, combo edge.

So, that's why I don't like flippers, I'm just not used to them I suppose.

Sorry for my ignorance but what is this knife mainly used for? self defense or compact utility knife?

How does this compare to the Leek? I already have the leek, but usally carry my benchmade.

Not that I want to contribute to feeding the trolls, but he isn't wrong. The latest generation of society seems to forget common sense rules like "have a coat in case your car breaks down or gets stuck in snow". I can't even tell you how many people I have seen walking around in flip-flops in the snow here in Colorado.

As for the Cryo, it is a great little knife. I used an Edge Pro Apex and was able to get a mirror edge with little effort. It is shockingly sharp.

Quote from WapWapWapWap : It is instrumental in human civilization because you can kill with it, not because it makes it easier to open boxes. In a chicken vs. egg scenario, I would venture a guess that people were stabbing others before they were slicing celery.

Respectfully disagree. The first tools that could reasonably be called "knives" were (as far as we know) shards of glass-like rock, usually very small and always very brittle.. they were effective cutting tools for millions of years while clubs, and later axes and spears, bows and arrows were still much, much more effective weapons.

Take a look at the kit carried by "Otzi" the "Iceman", some 9,000 or so years ago, comparatively recent but still stone age, he had a fully developed bow and arrow and a copper axe but the flint knife he carried was very tiny, obviously not intended as a weapon. Millions of years of stone knives were just too fragile

Some here think I know because I was there...

As for chicken vs. egg, there's not much paradox there. Since anything chickens might have evolved from had already been oviparous for millions of years, the first thing arguably a chicken certainly came from an already highly-evolved egg.

Does anyone know the totality of knives that this promo applies to? Apparently its good for the leek as well. The black one is just under $50 so you'd still have to buy two to get the promo :/

Valid enough. My first was a ZT0301, so it was assisted, just needed a little bump, same with the next, the ZT0350- it took a little adjusting to get used to the ZT0560 with no assist, but once I did I still like it better. In some ways I sort of wish I hadn't gotten used to flippers, it's made me uncomfortable with.. I'd guess maybe 50 pounds of earlier folders.

Pulled a trigger. Thanks OP!

Thanks op, I opted for the Kershaw Olive Drab/Black Blur Knife that's $42.19 after the promo discount.

yea I saw this to, obviously it was a price mistake. I was keeping my mouth shut to see if it will go through.

Fingers crossed

You probably haven't seen as many knife/gun threads as he has. The trolls just flood in.

I've given up arguing though. I just report and move on.
