CRKT K.I.S.S. ® Plain Edge
Model 5500
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.
Both blade and frame are 420J2 stainless steel in a fine bead-blast finish
