CRKT K.I.S.S. EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Compact Everyday Carry, Dual Grind Tanto, Frame Lock, Skeletonized Handle, Pocket Money Clip 5500, Gray - Plain Edge, One Size

I've carried one of these CRKT K.I.S.S knives on my person every day for almost 8 years. I've gone through about half a dozen of them in that time, but that's more of a reflection of my ability to lose or break things than it is of the construction or quality of the tool.The small form factor keeps it out of the way when it's on a belt or clipped to a pocket. The belt clip is strong and solid, I've never had one so much as loosen up let alone fall off, and it clips hard enough that it never lets the knife slide side to side without making it too difficult to remove or replace. It's aesthetically beautiful in my opinion. The simplicity of the design and the sharp [in more ways than one] angular tanto style blade are stunning. Any time I pull it out in front of someone or if they see me use it they always ask about it or mention that it's cool. You get used to it after a while.These are awesome gifts too, not too expensive, but high quality and high utility value. I got one for my Dad's birthday [he kept commenting on how much he liked mine] and now he's carried one almost every day for years. My little brother followed suite, and you get the idea.It's not the only knife you'll ever need, but it's awesome for 90% of most people's use cases. A couple of notes: The blade lock is part of the handle, so if you grip the handle too hard while using it, you run the risk of squeezing the lock open and closing the blade on your hand. This also means it's not a good knife for prying purposes, which is true of almost every knife, but this one is less tolerant than most. The single-edged blade also presents sharpening challenges. You can get special sharpeners for single-edged blades, DO NOT use a normal blade sharpener on this knife. In my experience, I usually lose or destroy these knives before they get anywhere near too dull to be useful. I'm really hard on knives, so your mileage my vary.

I have been carrying one of these for about 15-20 years and decided it was about time for another. They are great for EDC on a key chain. Small enough to fit in the pocket, but tough enough to do some good cutting. I little funky to sharpen until you realize it has a normal apex, just offset 90-10

Outstanding product. Knife is quality built with razor sharp blade. Perfect size and weight for EDC. Opens and closes with one hand. Stainless construction with oversized pocket/money clip. Unique design protects blade.

I really like this knife.For being a minimalist knife it's suprisingly stout. The knife is a beefy .12" inches thick, as is thesteel frame/lock. The clip on the back is wide and sturdy as well.My first impression is the lock up is solid, but not meant for heavy duty use, like prying, stabbing, torquing etc. exactly as the instructions imply. But that's not what I bought it for. Match the tool to the job as they say... I'm only going to use it as a box/letter opener and I'm quite impressed with it.For instance, I would much rather carry this knife then say a Gerber 22-41830 EAB Pocket Knife, Exchange A Blade, a minimalist knife that uses razor blades instead of a conventional edge.Lastly, I agree with reviewer B. Rogers that the knife is probably best carried in a sheath to prevent it from opening accidentally if you carry it in your pocket.I think I'm going to carry it in the "small 5th pocket" inside of the front right pocket of my jeans, or on my belt between the belt and my jeans to prevent it from opening.CRKT also stands behind their knives (Lifetime warranty and Free replacement parts)Overall a lot of knife in a little package.

This is vert sharp and overall useful.But don't hold the handle too tightly. If you do, you'll squeeze the handle, which unlocks the blade, which means it can fold up on you. Chances are you don't want that.

Very nice pocket knife. At first I didn’t like the single edge design but it’s a keeper

I have this for daily use. Holds an edge well, cuts easily, and is really slim. It fits in my pocket easily and the clip provides adequate pressure to stay in place. Only bad thing about this knife is if you hold the grip with a lot of pressure, the locking mechanism can require some extra manipulation to get it to close (ie. don't try to stab someone with it or have a death grip on it. It's a pocket knife, not a fighting knife). I guess it's not really a 'bad' quality of the knife, just something you can't do with it.Overall, I would buy this knife again in a heartbeat.

It’s a great knife for sure. Color is much better than it looks on the photos. Its slim and solid. But i wouldn’t recommend for money clip, because it’s so tight and it’s hard to get the money out or in.
