CRKT KISS

Description

There’s nothing like the real thing. The Original CRKT 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 stands for Keep It Super Simple.

This is one honey of a knife, precision fine blanked for superior fit and smooth operation. Like all folding knives in the KISS family, Ed Halligan’s 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 give a sound lockup. The blade can be closed with one hand, simply by releasing the Frame Lock.

The Original CRKT KISS blade shape is Tanto-inspiredChisel-Point grind on the front and flat on the backsideso 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. Both blade and frame are 420J2 stainless steel in a fine bead-blast finish.
