CRKT- 5515 K.I.S.S Two Timer Pocket Knife By Ed Halligan & Von Hoy, 2.375'' Plain Blade, Framelock , Discontinued, Rare

One day Ed Van Hoy was looking at a CRKT Original K.I.S.S.® knife designed by Ed Halligan. A light came on in his head. He saw a cool way to add a second blade, and sent a handmade sample knife to us. Because both Eds are successful custom knife designers for CRKT, we did the gentlemanly thing, called Ed Halligan, and got the two of them together. It's a tribute to Ed Halligan that as the designer of the original, and most successful and copied two-piece knife ever, he was willing to collaborate to make his brainchild even more sophisticated. Soon the K.I.S.S.® Two-Timer™ was born. There was much work to be done. The Eds had to design a detent mechanism that would allow both the large blade and small blade to open and lock independently. The result is a unique frame lock folder with two blades. The 2.375" large blade is Tanto-inspired with a Chisel-Point grind 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. The small 2.125" drop point pen knife blade folds perfectly into a CNC-machined relief in the larger blade. This knife also features LAWKS®, the Lake and Walker Knife Safety innovation. LAWKS® sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To engage the safety, push the LAWKS® lever forward. To close the knife, pull the LAWKS® lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position.. A milled slot is used to one-hand open the large blade. The small blade is opened by pressing the extended blade tang with the finger. Both blades can be closed with one hand, simply by releasing the LAWKS® lever and frame lock.
