There's nothing like the real thing. The Original K.I.S.S.®, family 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."
Delilah's P.E.C.K.® in the Dark (or Precision Engineered Compact Knife) is our smaller black-on-black model with a tough black plating for those who prefer the tactical look. It's 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.
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 blade features a Wharncliffe grind on the front and flat on the backsideso 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.
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. and P.E.C.K., 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.
This knife replaced a simular unit that was lost. Out of the box sharp and ready to go. Perfect for carrying in dress pants. I will order these for gifts to the family.

I like the look, feel and design of the knife. Mine was not as sharp as I expected it to be out of the box, but nothing a sharpener couldn't fix, possibly an isolated incident.

I've had a number of these. Due to being rushed for time I've lost one at an airport checkpoint and had to give one to a friend for the same reason. They are the best money clip pen knife I've ever had.
