COLUMBIA RIVER 5590 H.U.G. 2 KNIFE

CRKT 5590 H.U.G. 2

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 this two-piece design Halligan’s Ultimate Gadget (H.U.G.) 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 2.30” blade is now a modified spear point with a single-side grind which seals against the frame. It is more useful for the type of pen knife tasks most users will give the knife. Blade material is high-carbon stainless steel in a bead-blast finish, and both Razor-Sharp or Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges are available in the larger-size H.U.G.

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. Ed has also designed a smaller model, the H.U.G. 2 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.

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