Getting familiar with Cryo I but otherwise been carrying the Cryo II.
What brand and model is that?
Yeah… it would be nice if folks gave a make and model number when posting pics…
an old, beat-up and almost worn out Spyerco Delica.
but it is still sharp enough and light enough
for me to forget it was in the pocket
of the pants i put in the wash.

Sorry to leave you hanging. I only rarely log in since the big forum change. The interface is not easy on my eyes or to navigate.
That is a Kizer Gemini, designed by Ray Laconico. That particular version might have been exclusive to Mojave Outdoors.
BTW, Vosteed Nightshade with a dye job today.
Modified Civivi Voltaic.
Yesterday and then today, Kizer Sheepsfoot Domin and a modified Kubey Doris.
BTW, where is everyone else here?
Nice pictures!
We’re around and just enjoying the forum.
Damn, I’ve never been much into knives, but the Doris is gorgeous. Guess I’ll need one
My cats stole my scissors. Small old-timey polished steel ones, not the nowadays crap that looks like slave-labor cut/shaped it on a grinding-wheel.
I always keep 'em in a zipper-bag, only take 'em out to trim nails and the odd occasion to snip loose threads, etc.
Seriously, if they (the cats, not the scissors) had opposable thumbs they’d be out joyriding in my car every day, and expecting me to keep the tank topped up.
The crap S&W ao model I got on that blowout “sale” jammed up. Couldn’t close it without forcing it. Nothing seems binding, but pushed stuff out of the way to unlock it, and 2-handed forced it shut. Of course, then needed to pry it open again. So now it’s effectively a fixed-blade used only to get my frustrations out on hapless cardboard boxes.
Soooooo… I’m kinda knifed out.

Sorry to hear about the bad knife experience. I bought a S&W knife years ago and you couldn’t give me a free one.
In my decades of acumen (of what, I don’t know), the 3 flipper, frame-lock models are very good: Knives & Tools - Knives - Kershaw Closeout - Bereli Inc.
The Cryo G10 is my pick among these and my actual EDC is the Cryo 2.
My fave is still the PF “clone” (people jump on me for that term, but…) that GB sold for a few bux a pop way back when. Sharp, smooth, reliable, just a good solid knoife.
Yeah, those S&Ws were mistakes. Kicking myself that I got suckered into 'em.
For a short time, Smith & Wesson manufactured their own knives. These were pretty decent, I had a fixed blade from the era. Sometime around '86, they licensed the name out and they been worse quality year upon year afterwards.
I purchased two Cryo and a Zing … thanks for the heads-up …
