Kershaw 3.25″ XL Cryo II Pocket Knife (1556TI)

Description

The Kershaw 1556BW Cryo II Pocket Knife is a significant upgrade from the original Cryo model, designed by Rick Hinderer for individuals seeking a larger and more feature-rich folding knife. This model is constructed entirely from stainless steel, featuring a matte gray titanium carbo-nitride (TiCN) coating that not only provides a sleek appearance but also enhances the material’s hardness and reduces friction for smooth operation. Its 3.25-inch blade is equipped with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening system, ensuring rapid and effortless one-handed deployment. Despite its increased size, the Cryo II maintains a slim profile, making it comfortable to carry discreetly in a pocket with its deep-carry clip.

HOW TO USE:

• To Open with Flipper: Locate the flipper tab protruding from the back of the handle. Apply downward pressure on the flipper with your index finger. The SpeedSafe assisted opening system will automatically complete the blade’s rotation, locking it securely into place.
• To Open with Thumb Studs: Place your thumb on one of the small studs located on the blade near the pivot. Apply a firm, outward push with your thumb. The assisted opening mechanism will engage, swiftly extending the blade until it locks open.
• To Close the Blade: Identify the frame lock bar, which is part of the knife’s handle positioned against the blade’s tang. Using your thumb, push this frame lock bar sideways (usually towards the opposite side of the handle) to disengage it from the blade. Carefully pivot the blade back into the handle, ensuring your fingers are clear of the closing path.
• To Adjust Pocket Clip: The pocket clip can be moved to one of four positions (tip-up/down, left/right carry). Use an appropriate Torx bit (not included) to unscrew the clip, reposition it to your desired orientation, and then securely re-screw it.
