CRKT K.I.S.S. Original Combination Edge Knife

CRKT K.I.S.S. Original Combination Edge Knife - There's nothing like the real thing. The Original K.I.S.S., with its Tanto-inspired blade and bead blast finish, is the revolutionary high tech statement by designer Ed Halligan. Like all folding knives in the K.I.S.S. collection, this unique two-piece construction features an integral Frame Lock™, and a breakthrough design which seals the cutting edge against the handle. A thumb stud is used to one-hand open the blade, and as the blade is fully rotated open, the Frame Lock snaps crisply in behind the blade to guarantee a sound lock-up. The blade can be closed with one hand, simply by releasing the Frame Lock. Both blade and frame are AUS 6M stainless steel in a fine bead blast finish. The Original K.I.S.S. blade shape is Tanto-inspired,Chisel-Point grind on the front and flat on the backside. This allows the blade to close onto its handle/frame and the precision fit to effectively "seal" the cutting edge to the frame, even though it's exposed. The design of the K.I.S.S. series pocket/money clip permits them to be used in a variety of ways: clipped to the pocket; as a money clip; and with split-ring or lanyard, as a key chain. Following the success of the K.I.S.S., a flock of imatators has appeared; none however offers the simple elegance of Ed Halligan's original design, and none offeres the value of CRKT quality manufacturing.
