| Product Description: |
Columbia River took Ed Halligans designs for the K.I.S.S., P.E.C.K. and S.S.T. knives to the next level of sophistication with 24 karat gold detailing, making them even more special, while retaining all the utility which has made them the most popular personal cutting tools we have ever offered. The line now includes two black-on-black 24K models.
All have AUS 6M stainless steel blades and handles, and the bright models are now mirror polished to create a special occasion look and feel.
All the detail hardware including the thumb stud, blade stop screw, blade pivot screw and pocket clip are plated with 24 karat gold (In other countries it is defined as 23.99 karat gold because all gold has trace elements).
The new Black Gold K.I.S.S. and P.E.C.K. models feature Teflon-plated blades and handles for an ultra sleek and elegant look.
All five 24K models are packaged in a black enameled metal gift box with a gold ink imprint, making them the ideal gift or award.
All the innovative features of Eds K.I.S.S. (Keep It Super Simple) and P.E.C.K. (Precision Engineered Compact Knife) are there. The folders have only two major components, blade and frame, precision fine blanked for superior fit and smooth operation. The ingenuity of the Frame Lock 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 can be closed with one-hand by simply releasing the Frame Lock.
The Original K.I.S.S. 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 is exposed. The K.I.S.S. S.S.T. and P.E.C.K. use graceful Wharncliffe blades to similar effect.
Their pocket/money clip permits them to be used in a variety of ways: clipped to the pocket; as a money clip knife; and with split-ring or lanyard, as a key chain knife. Satisfied owners of the K.I.S.S. series have been telling us These little knives are good as gold. They are right. |

| About Columbia River |
| Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) is a Wilsonville, Oregon-based manufacturer of quality knives and tools founded in 1994. The Columbia River Knife catalog has grown and is divided into two categories, Sport and Work Knives, intended for the general public; and Professional Knives, designed for the military, law enforcement, fire department, search and rescue and other emergency services personnel.
Founders, Rod Bremer and Paul Gillespie commented on the Columbia River Knife & Tool's rapid growth in the highly competitive cutlery industry: "We began with the vision of offering top quality knives at affordable prices to give the highest possible value," said Gillespie. Fortunately, because we were starting with a blank sheet of paper, we could make the new designs we wanted from the optimum materials, using the latest high tech manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, injection molding and fine blanking.
Before packing and shipping each Columbia River Knife & Tool knife, it is inspected for defects in materials and workmanship, the lock and cutting edge are checked, it is opened and closed to assure smoothness of action, and it is lubricated and adjusted if needed.
All Columbia River Knife & Tool knives are built incorporating the most advanced equipment and production systems available, and quality is controlled from beginning to end. Knives are built the way they should be built without compromising quality in any part of their creation. Columbia River Knife & Tool accessories are crafted to the same standards as the knives, so that each sheath, for example, lives up to the customers high expectations.
