skalap: Chouette design, et comme d'habitude avec crkt, produit irreprochable au niveau qualite des materiaux et qualite de fabrication, tout est bien ajuste. Sa dimension est parfaite pour l'avoir en EDC dans une poche de jean's.

William: C'est mon 4e ou 5e couteau KISS 5510 lame tanto crantée.
Comme je le porte quotidiennement, parfois j'en perds un, parfois j'en donne un.
J'apprécie sa très grande facilité d'ouverture, d'une seule main seulement en glissant la lame, ce qui en fait un outil accessible très aisément, parfois dans des situations difficiles de bricolage où je suis en équilibre, tenant qqch de l'autre main.
Très simple d'utilisation, il est parfait pour ouvrir les colis, couper les adhésif lors de l'élaboration d'un emballage, pour couper des ficelles nylon ou les feuillards grâce à ses dents, pour gratter de la peinture sèche sur des vitres, pour soulever, dégager, parfois dévisser, bien ce ne soit pas recommandé par le constructeur.
J'avais perdu le dernier il y a 5 mois mais j'avais toujours le réflexe de le chercher accroché avec son clip à l'intérieur de ma poche dans de multiples occasions. Très heureux d'en avoir un nouveau. Un must have dans mon usage quotidien.

Catatonic27: 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...

mm46: Currently own 3 CRKT knives, this one is the most practical knife and useful, on a daily basis than the others.. It fits in your pocket easily and can be used as a money clip(big plus here). The blade comes in handy more than the Carson M16 I have(in my edc, not on me).Commonly used to cut packaging tape or other nuisances. Since I use it as a moneyclip, there is often money in the clip when unfolding the blade. No issues with money getting cut when folding the blade back in, clearances are slim but not problem! It comes super sharp out of the box and does not become an issue inside your pant pocket. It is sharpened on one side to make the folded knife flush with the handle/frame and not cut up your pockets or legs. The clip is fairly large(consumes 3/4 of a folded dollar bill) but also tight(difficult when carrying all those one dollar bills for the stripper). Compared to the CRKT P.E.C.K., it is ~2.5x larger. I originally bought the P.E.C.K. but gave it to my friend since purchasing the K.I.S.S. Form factor is sleek enough to be used in a formal suit situation. As with all CRKT items that I have experienced, quality is top notch and a thing of beauty. The K.I.S.S. makes a great...

Soleil: I've had a CRKT KISS pocket knife for over a decade; I only bought this one because I lost my last one! The design is incredible- it fits anywhere you put it because it's so delightfully slim. It's SHARP, too; and holds an edge for ages.

This design was meant for single hand operation (right hand only); you can pull it out of a pocket, open and close it with only your right hand, which makes it ideal for quick things like opening boxes and such. Once you get used to it, it's up, out used and away with a simple hand movement.

Will it cut you? Any blade can cut you if you use it improperly. The KISS comes with a handy illustrated instruction manual that lists how you should handle and store the knife. Follow the guide, use common sense, and no harm will come to you; I promise. :)

Dudimus Maximus: I can't seem to keep one of these, though it isn't the knifes fault. The clip is seriously one of the best I've ever used for a small pocket knife. I love the simple and effective design. The first one I had was the half-serrated unit, which is great, but I have been buying the normal bladed one so I can sharpen it myself more easily. The size of this knife lends itself well to almost everything you need a small knife for. It is easy to handle. I love the locking mechanism. It's not a knife you can abuse, though, as you CAN slip a grip and tear your fingers up if you really try hard enough, but you have to be particularly idiotic to do that. I've never cut the hand I've held it in. Overall, for the price, I've tried a few other knives and this one has the best balance of features, price and quality. I'll likely keep replacing it as I almost inevitably loose them.

The reason why I give it only four stars is that I find that the edge isn't as durable as some other knives I've had, and it will eventually loosen up and rattle a tad. It's not perfect, but darn good, hence the 4-star rating.

ctlr: KISS stands for Keep it Simple Stupid. But there is nothing "simple"-looking about this beautiful knife. It is a work of art unlike anything I have ever seen. Traditional folding knives fold into a handle, but the KISS folds on the outside of the handle. Although the blade is exposed, it is sharpened and shaped in such a way to lie flat against the handle. So it's perfectly safe to clip to your pocket. As for use, it should provide a lifetime of light-duty use. Perfect for opening packages, cutting plastic ties, or most anything else you encounter in your daily modern civilized existence. This thing is solid and comes out of the box sharp! And it opens like butter. I received my first KISS knife as a gift, but lost it after a couple of years. I missed it so much that I bought myself another one from Amazon. I will NOT lose this one. Highly recommended knife for those who like their blades to be exceptional and out of the ordinary.
