Compact CRKT K.I.S.S. EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Everyday Carry, Dual Grind Tanto, Frame Lock, Skeletonized Handle

Ed Halligan, a member of the Knifemakers' Guild and the designer of the Original K.I.S.S., has created a revolutionary high-tech knife with a Tanto-inspired blade and bead-blast finish. This knife, known as the K.I.S.S. ("Keep It Super Simple"), is a precision fine blanked tool that offers superior fit and smooth operation. The unique two-piece construction features an integral frame lock and a breakthrough design that seals the cutting edge against the handle. The blade can be opened with one hand using a thumb stud and closed with one hand by releasing the frame lock.

The Tanto-inspired blade shape features a Chisel-Point grind on the front and is flat on the backside, allowing for a precision fit that effectively "seals" the cutting edge to the frame when the blade is closed. Both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edge grinds are available. The blade and frame are made of 3CR13 stainless steel in a fine bead-blast finish. This version of the Original K.I.S.S. comes with a 2.25" blade length and a closed length of 3.50", making it versatile and suitable for everyday use.

The K.I.S.S. series pocket/money clip offers a variety of uses, allowing it to be clipped to the pocket, used as a money clip knife, or attached to a key ring as a key chain knife. Designed by Ed Halligan from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, this tool offers a simple elegance that sets it apart from imitators, while also providing CRKT quality manufacturing and value. The innovative two-piece design and bead-blast finish reduce reflection and minimize its reflectivity.

Ed Halligan, also known as "Big Daddy K.I.S.S.," has been working with CRKT to translate his custom versions of the K.I.S.S. into production knives since founding Halligan Knives in 1985. CRKT, founded by Rod Bremer in 1994, offers a broad line of purpose-driven knives and tools designed by the most innovative custom knife makers and designers in the industry. The K.I.S.S. folding knife and money clip is a testament to the philosophy of "Keep. It. Super. Simple."

In conclusion, the Original K.I.S.S. is a groundbreaking knife designed by Ed Halligan that represents the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, innovation, and simplicity. Its versatility and superior craftsmanship make it suitable for everyday carry around the home or office, solidifying its place as a classic in the world of folding knives.
