[smoky97]

Hi , I would like to know which one of these would be the best for camping ? I have a leek but I am afraid to bend or break the fine tip . Thanks for your time , I appreciate it .

I WOULD GO WITH THE LARGER CRYO
IF I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THOSE 2.............

If you're thinking about going with a Zing, I think I would be more inclined towards the plain blade. This one looks like it's more for show.

This is the plain blade.

I have to agree with Josh. If you're stuck on Kershaw and one of those two models then I too would recommend the Cryo.

BUT

If you're open to other suggestions, the Buck Slimline 721 (made for Walmart) or Spitfire 722 (same knife with a slightly different handle profile) seems to me to be a bit more beefy and more appropriate for outdoor use, like camping. And it's made in USA.

There are a ton of choices out there and what suits me might not suit you. To each his own.

And to think I snatched that picture off the Google images page. Who'duh thunk it. Thanks Scott. I picked it because it's such a good picture.


Oh, yeah and Smoky, Scott is the guy to ask practical application questions about the Cryo. Not only does he have a blog where he reviews knives, he gets out into the countryside with his grandsons and actually uses the knives.
