There’s nothing like
the real thing. The Original K.I.S.S.® in the Dark, 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.
Both blade and frame are
420J2 stainless steel in a black Teflon coating. 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.
