Kershaw Cryo II Assisted Opening Pocket Knife Tanto

The CRYO Tanto Blackwash has been a joy to carry so far. So is bigger better with the CRYO II? I think in some situations it is. The CRYO is just the length for my hand but I wish the blade had another 1/4" to it. The CRYO II adds just enough on to it that it feels nicer in the hand and the blade gives me the length. Although I don't see it staying in my pocket daily, it is a great size for a pack, bag or car where you could use a bit bigger knife. The thumb stud on the II is made perfect also. Not too big and not above handle level and not so small as to be ineffective. This stud would be nicer on the regular version too. All in all everything Kershaw is praised for exists in this knife too. Don't get caught up in the this steel vs. that steel debate. Its hard, sharp and if like my other Kershaw's, hard to sharpen. But you end up with a heck of an edge. If you have big paws, you might skip the normal CRYO and go straight for the II. I can't believe anyone would be disappointed to own one of these gems.
