CRKT 5500 K.I.S.S. 2.25″ Folding Tanto Knife 5500

The original k.I.S.S., with its tanto-inspired blade and bead-blast finish, is the revolutionary high-tech statement by knifemaker designer ed halligan.It stands for “keep it super simple.” the 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.The blade shape is tanto-inspired, chisel-point grind on the front and flat on the backside so that when the blade is closed onto its handle/frame, the precision fit effectively “seals” the cutting edge to the frame, even though it’s exposed.The design of the k.I.S.S.Pocket/money clip permits them to be used in a variety of ways: clipped to the pocket, as a money clip knife and with split-ring or lanyard, as a key chain knife.
