5.0 out of 5 stars
Just like the title says... simple, March 2, 2006
I bought this knife while on a motorcycle trip in Canada. I was at first apprehensive because there is no "other side" to the handle. They bevel the blade and only sharpen it on one side so that it lays flat and flush on the handle. I have run my finger across the blade when it is closed and it does not catch on my clothes or skin. The blade stays very sharp and the tonto design is nice and strong with plenty of flat blade surface. It is a nice knife in terms of size (not girly small, yet not as big as many of the spyderco's that my friends have. It is very narrow, and so it lays flat in the pocket, whether it is in front with your keys (like it was during my motorcycle trip) or in the back pocket. The clip is nice to keep it at the top of the pocket if you want it there, holds tight so it won't fly out, and can be used as a money clip or to attach it to clothes without pockets (gym shorts). All in all, it is very well put together, solidly built, sharp, very portable, and relatively inexpensive. One important note: because it is only 'one-sided' it is designed to be used right handed. the opening edge is intended for a right thumb and so left-handers would have to be extra careful not to cut themselves or to use it right handed only.

The perfect day-to-day city knife, January 11, 2010
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.

I've used it everyday since I got it!, February 11, 2011
I have had this knife KISS Tanto combo for several years, I use it every day for something , whether I'm opening a package, trimming a string from something, cutting picture from the newspaper, sharpening a pencil etc. Being right handed and normally wear jeans, I find this knife fits perfectly in my right side pocket. 1 thing that I did with mine is remove the thumb stud. I can slide it out, open it,, use it close it, slide it back in my pocket in the most swift and efficient manner using only ONE HAND. I have yet been able to find a suitable replacement. It is an every day pocket knife with a 2.25" blade, it is not a screwdriver, it is not a chisel, it is not a pry bar, it can be a money clip if all you clip is a few bills, not useful as a money clip with 2 credit cards, drivers license a picture or 2 and bills. It is a knife, a very sharp one (well @ least mine is VERY sharp) and I don't let everybody and anybody use it if some asks for my knife I ask them what they need it for as I know from experience others may not handle this knife with the same care as I do. that helps eliminate the "Band Aid moments" and keeps my knife in perfect working order. I have several of these waiting on the shelf to be used when my original one wears out......... like I said b4 it's been several years so far (also makes a great and unique groomsman gift)
