COLUMBIA RIVER 5500 K.I.S.S. KNIFE

CRKT 5500 K.I.S.S.

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.

The Original K.I.S.S. 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. Both blade and frame are 420J2 stainless steel in a fine bead-blast finish.
