This BlackWash version further enhances its appeal with a distinctive, well-worn aesthetic.
Crafted entirely from stainless steel, this knife boasts a robust construction complemented by its attractive, Black-oxide BlackWash™ finish. The Cryo is intentionally designed to be a sturdy and reliable tool that maintains an appealing look and comfortable feel in the hand, making it an excellent choice for a variety of daily tasks and demanding work environments. Its features contribute to both its functionality and user experience, providing a dependable cutting solution for those who value both form and performance in their everyday carry gear.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Award-Winning Design: The original Cryo's recognition as a "Best Buy" and "Approved Gear" underscores its superior design and utility in the market.
