N.K.3, Black

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 LockTM, 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. The K.I.S.S.® in the Dark features blade, frame, clip and hardware in black non-reflective Teflon® plating that is tough and long lasting. Delilah´s P.E.C.K.® (or Precision Engineered Compact Knife) is Ed´s baby, weighing less than 1 oz. and only 2.625 inches long when closed. Just think of it as a sweet little K.I.S.S. When open, the graceful 1.75" Razor-Sharp Wharncliffe blade is a high-performance cutting tool suited for hundreds of daily tasks. The P.E.C.K.® in the Dark is our smaller black-on-black model with black Teflon plating for those who prefer the tactical look. The design of the K.I.S.S. series 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. In the wake of the success of the K.I.S.S., a flock of imitators has appeared; none offers the simple elegance of Ed Halligan´s original design, and none offers the value of CRKT quality manufacturing. In fact, the more Ed´s design is imitated, the better it looks.
