How do you follow one of the most successful designs in modern knife history? Ed Halligan’s original two-piece K.I.S.S.® (Keep It Super Simple) money clip knife has been a sensation for nearly a decade. But we call Ed’s latest two-piece design Halligan’s Ultimate Gadget (H.U.G. 2™) because it is virtually as small, simple and lightweight as the K.I.S.S., but so much more sophisticated and versatile.

Like the K.I.S.S., the H.U.G. 2 is a Frame Lock™ folder with a single-sided blade. However, Ed has refined almost every aspect.

The  H.U.G. 2, which is about the size of his very successful P.E.C.K.® (Precision Engineered Compact Knife), with a 1.78” blade. Again, this little gem weighs only 1.5 ounces and fits in pocket or purse. It’s a handy pen knife, money clip and emergency knife.

The frame, also bead-blast high-carbon stainless steel, now uses an ingenious internal Frame Lock. A single Zytel® scale makes the handle fit the hand better, and also helps prevent the blade from accidental opening. A finger choil on the bottom of the frame and friction grooves at the thumb area make for a more secure grip, and give more comfort during extended use.

A compact custom stainless steel pocket/money clip makes this a handy and useful personal carry in all situations.
