A good, cheap assisted blade would be the Kershaw Cryo which sells for around $30. It's big brother the Cryo 2 should be coming out soon for about 40.

You can also look at the Kershaw Leek, assisted and made in the USA for around 40 or the Blur also US made for around 50.

People do love those Cryos, excellent recommendation!

It is an affordable version of a great design.
If you are set on assisted and are okay with chinese steel this is a sure winner!

For about $15.00 over budget you could get a Kershaw knockout, USA knife!

All good recommendations, have to admit, I was tempted to add a Cryo to my cart this weekend when placing an order to qualify for free shipping. Opted for a flashlight instead.

Another look at my scale, still love this knife. Why can't I ever remember to clean the blade before taking a picture?:

Hoping to get my MM custom friction folder soon.
I have been dying to get this thing!

It is a Maxmadco SS bolt action pen, super solid & heavy. It uses Pilot gel refills, I love that pen.

Looks awesome Shane, I have some neon green paracord inbound, if you want a lanyard to match, shoot me a PM, I'd be glad to hook you up.

Blak Smyth · 03-29-2013, 07:48 AM

Carrying my unagressive folder today. Kershaw Skyline

MurphysLaw · 03-29-2013, 04:10 PM

Forums are bad for my bank account...I blame Shane for this

Blak Smyth · 04-01-2013, 05:17 AM

So some of you may have seen my Silent Soldier Flipper for sale. I notated a disclaimer that it had some minor blade rock. I sent Jason Brouse an e-mail stating such. He said "Send it to me, I can fix it". I shipped it out and it came back perfect and solid at no charge. He also included a few stickers and a cool sheep skinned lined pouch.
You can judge customer service on how they respond to a problem, and gotta say Jason is awesome!!!

My Brous Blades:

Sexy

Brous does some great work, congrats Shane!!!

Blak Smyth · 04-04-2013, 08:26 AM

Just ordered a beat up Strider SNG to EDC.

BHalbrooks · 04-04-2013, 02:49 PM

The Brous looks different in that picture, Shane. Like the handle seems more rounded where you'd put your fingers. Oh well, still sexy.

Can't place the second picture. Almost want to say a CRK?

MurphysLaw · 04-05-2013, 11:12 AM

Congrats on the Strider Shane! If I could find a PT at a good price I'd probably find a way to sneak it in the house.

I snagged an SnG, the PT is soooooo small and adorable but almost impossible to find. Also the price difference between the PT and the SnG is close enough to go a little bigger (for me anyways). Thanks though, it is one of my grail knives although it doesn't count since it is so beat up. It has been sitting at the post office for a few days.

I've been real close to buying a knockoff PT for a little while just to see how it feels in the hand and carries. Just haven't been able to bring myself to spend the coin on a copy, especially when I have my eye on a few other things I could spend the same cash on.

Yah I try not to support knock offs, it is messed up that they can sell those. I am hoping my SnG is in my mailbox when I get home.
