CRKT K.I.S.S. Bead Blast Frame Lock Folding Knife 1.75" Stainless Steel 5520

Introducing the Original K.I.S.S. by renowned Knifemakers' Guild member and designer "Daddy K.I.S.S." Ed Halligan. This revolutionary knife is all about simplicity and high-tech innovation. Weighing less than 1 oz. and measuring only 2.625 inches when closed, it's a compact marvel. When opened, the elegant 1.75" Razor-Sharp Wharncliffe blade becomes a versatile cutting tool suitable for countless daily tasks. With a convenient thumb stud, you can effortlessly open the blade single-handedly. As the blade fully rotates open, the frame lock securely snaps into place, ensuring a reliable lockup. Closing the blade is just as easy - simply release the frame lock with one hand. The blade features a Wharncliffe grind on the front and a flat backside. This unique design allows for a precise fit when closed, effectively sealing the cutting edge to the frame. Both the blade and frame are made of 420J2 stainless steel with a fine bead-blast finish. The K.I.S.S. series pocket/money clip design offers versatility. You can clip it to your pocket, use it as a money clip knife, or attach it to a split-ring or lanyard as a key chain knife. While many imitators have emerged following the success of the K.I.S.S. and P.E.C.K., none can match the simple elegance and quality manufacturing of Ed Halligan's original design. In fact, the more it's imitated, the more impressive it becomes.
