CRKT 24k Gold Accent KISS Pocket Knife – CR5500G

Gold Accent Kiss Knife, Plain Edge Blade, Beautiful high polish and genuine 24K gold plating on the clip and thumb stud, make this small knife a classy gift item.

Ed Halligan, Knifemakers’ Guild Member, and designer/engineer of CRKT’s new K.l.S.S. knife.

The compact, palm-size folder has two major components – Blade and Frame – that are precision fine blanked for superior fit and smooth operation.

The ingenuity of the K.l.S.S. Frame LockTM design is that the secure, safe and strong blade lock serves not only as part of the frame but also as the handle itself. 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 guarantee a sound lock-up.

The blade shape is tanto-inspired-Chisel-Point 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. An accessible hex-head fastener allows easy, precise adjustment of opening/closing tension.

Both blade and frame are high carbon stainless steel and are fine bead-blast finished as is the pocket clip and other hardware. The design of the K.l.S.S. pocket clip permits it to be used in a variety of ways: clipped to the pocket; with split-ring or lanyard, as a key chain knife.

This Knife is now discontinued by the manufacturer.  

Pre-owned knife from a private collection.  An excellent collectors item boxed.
