CRKT K.I.S.S. Pocket Knife - Tanto Blade, Combo Edge

bought as a gift and was happy about the quality for such a low price. It was attractive, yet rugged. very practical pocket knife.

I was really worried when I first got it that it would open in my pocket and stab me. Its unique design has yet to fail and my sides remain stab free. The knife works great as a money clip and has a nice weight ballance. The knife is rugged and durable. I store one away in a pack pocket as a emegency/backup knife.

This is my 2nd K.I.S.S, and the model has been around for years, but I still appreciate the simplicity and economy of the design. It's the least knife I feel I can carry and still consider myself equipped. I rated the grip as uncomfortable but it's only because I have large hands and this is a small knife - it's not a drawback, just an artifact of its size.

This is my third K.I.S.S. knife by CRKT. The fit and finish are excellent. The clips make them very convenient to have about anywhere you want them to be handy. The steel carries an edge well and the look is very cool. Great value to price. Keep one in the car, tackle box and pack.

Like lots of knives, this can only be easily opened one-handed if you're right-handed. I'll still get use out of it, but I don't see it replacing an older and slightly heavier knife I have that has an ambidexterous design.

Works pretty good as a money clip. It's one of the most clever ways to store the blade I have even seen. It seem very strong but have only had it a few weeks.

The size is very comfortable in the pocket yet large enough so that it doesn't get lost.

This is the one-knife that you HAVE to have for that rugged adventure. Super simple, sharp. Super durable. Can use on a key chain (it's bigger than that really) but it is huge in cutting performance.

would buy for a friend

I'd think twice before buying this as a key chain or money clip, if you want a streamlined utility knife to carry on your belt it might work but the safety lock and the blade are put next to eachother in a way that makes it quite easy to slice a finger or reach into your pocket and catch the point of the blade, it's going to take a little getting used to and I don't think it's going to be the king of knife I keep on me, more like in the glove compartment.
