Thanks so much for this review/comparison, Powernoodle! I've had my eye on both of these blades recently. & you just made my decision easy. I love the Techno, but it is just way too small for me. Your comparison pics made this clear to me. I have large hands, & I also just prefer bigger blades. I EDC 3.5" - 4" blades mostly. That's not to say that I don't own, & sometmes carry smaller blades, but not many, & not often. However, I am looking for a new small blade, & now, I am sure that the Cryo is the one for me. Your review read to me like it came out of my own head! You touched on everything that I wanted to know, in a clear, concise way, so thanks, good job & please keep reviewing (& more importantly, comparing head to head) knives for me, ok? Seriously, you kick ass in my book, you may have just savd me about $160, so thank you!
