CRKT K.I.S.S. Framelock

"Keep It Super Simple." 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 Knifemakers' Guild member and K.I.S.S.® designer "Daddy K.I.S.S." Ed Halligan. It's one honey of a knife, precision fine blanked for superior fit and smooth operation.

Ed Halligan's unique two-piece construction features an integral frame lock, and a breakthrough design that 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 give a sound lockup. The blade can be closed with one hand, simply by releasing the frame lock.
The Original K.I.S.S.® blade shape is Tanto-inspired—Chisel-Point grind on the front and flat on the backside—so that when the blade is closed onto its handle/frame, the precision fit effectively "seals" the cutting edge to the frame, even though it's exposed. Blade edge combines Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge grinds. Both blade and frame are 3CR13 stainless steel in a fine bead-blast finish.

The design of the K.I.S.S.® series pocket/money clip permits it to be used in a variety of ways: clipped to the pocket, as a money clip knife, or with a split-ring or lanyard as a key chain knife. In the wake of the success of the K.I.S.S.®, a flock of imitators has appeared; none offers the simple elegance of Ed Halligan's original design, and none offers the value of CRKT® quality manufacturing. In fact, the more Ed's design is imitated, the better it looks.
