The Original K.I.S.S. Folding Knife
The CRKT K.I.S.S. stands for "Keep It Super Simple"—and designer Ed Halligan's revolutionary approach proves that sometimes the best designs are the most elegant ones.
Distinctive Design Features
This knife employs a unique two-piece construction with an integral frame lock that delivers a crisp, reliable lockup. The Tanto-inspired blade features a chisel-point grind on the front and a flat backside. When closed, the blade's precision fit effectively seals the cutting edge against the handle frame, protecting both the blade and your pocket.
Practical Operation
- One-hand opening: Thumb stud allows smooth deployment with a single hand
- One-hand closing: Simply release the frame lock to fold the blade safely
- Bead-blasted finish: Durable 3Cr13MoV stainless steel blade and handle resist corrosion and wear
Versatile Carry Options
The included pocket clip is engineered for multiple carrying methods. Clip it to your pocket for everyday carry, use it as a money clip knife, or attach it to a split-ring or lanyard as a compact key chain tool. The K.I.S.S. adapts to your lifestyle.
For shooters, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate thoughtful engineering and honest design, the CRKT K.I.S.S. delivers dependable performance without unnecessary complexity.
