Product Description
Designed by Knifemakers’ Guild member Ed Halligan, the CRKT K.I.S.S.® (Keep. It. Super. Simple.) helped redefine minimalist everyday carry. Its innovative two-piece design integrates the blade directly into the frame, reducing bulk while maintaining strength and function.
The Tanto-inspired blade features a chisel-point grind on the front and a flat backside. When closed, the blade nests precisely into the frame, effectively shielding the cutting edge despite its exposed profile. Crafted from VG10 stainless steel with a brushed titanium nitride coating, the blade offers strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The integrated frame lock secures the blade during use, and the pocket clip doubles as a money clip for streamlined carry.
