Columbia River Delilah’s P.E.C.K. Wharncliffe Blade Pocket Knife
There’s nothing like the real thing. The Columbia River Delilah’s P.E.C.K. Wharncliffe Blade Folding Knife with a bead-blast finish is the revolutionary high-tech statement by Knifemakers’ Guild member and K.I.S.S. designer Daddy K.I.S.S. Ed Halligan.
Delilah’s P.E.C.K. (or Precision Engineered Compact Knife) is Ed’s baby, weighing less than 1 ounce and only 2.625 inches long when closed. Just think of it as a sweet little K.I.S.S. When open, the graceful 1.75 inch Razor-Sharp Wharncliffe blade is a high-performance cutting tool suited for hundreds of daily tasks. Bead-Blast Finish, Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge.
Like all folding knives in the K.I.S.S. family, Ed Halligan’s unique two-piece construction features an integral frame lock, and a breakthrough design which seals the cutting edge against the handle.
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 give a sound lockup. The blade can be closed with one hand, simply by releasing the frame lock.
The design of the K.I.S.S. series 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.
In the wake of the success of the K.I.S.S., a flock of imitators has appeared; none offers the simple elegance of Ed Halligan’s original design, and none offers the value of CRKT quality manufacturing. In fact, the more Ed’s design is imitated, the better it looks.
