COLUMBIA RIVER KNIFE & TOOL K.I.S.S. EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Compact Everyday Carry, Dual Grind Tanto, Serrated Frame Lock, Skeletonized Handle, Pocket Money Clip 5510
Description
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 stands for “Keep It Super Simple.” It’s one honey of a knife,
precision fine blanked for superior fit and smooth operation. Like all folding
knives in the K.I.S.S. 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 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.
Both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edge
grinds are available. 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
them to be used in a variety of ways: clipped to the pocket; as a money clip
knife; and with 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. Specifications: Blade Length: 2.250″ (57.15 mm)
