CRKT - Columbia River Knife and Tool 5590 H.U.G. 2 - Razor Edge - From CRKT - How do you follow one of the most successful designs in modern knife history? The original two-piece K.I.S.S. (Keep It Super Simple) money clip knife has been a sensation for nearly a decade. But we call the latest two-piece design Halligans Ultimate Gadget (H.U.G.) because it is virtually as small, simple and lightweight as the K.I.S.S., but so much more sophisticated and versatile.
Like the K.I.S.S., the H.U.G. is a Frame Lock folder with a single-sided blade. However, Ed has refined almost every aspect.
The 2.30 inch blade is now a modified spear point with a single-side grind which seals against the frame. It is more useful for the type of pen knife tasks most users will give the knife. Blade material is high-carbon stainless steel in a bead-blast finish, and both Razor-Sharp or Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges are available in the larger-size H.U.G.
The frame, also bead-blast high-carbon stainless steel, now uses an ingenious internal Frame Lock. A single Zytel scale makes the handle fit the hand better, and also helps prevent the blade from accidental opening. A finger choil on the bottom of the frame and friction grooves at the thumb area make for a more secure grip, and give more comfort during extended use.
A compact custom stainless steel pocket/money clip makes this a handy and useful personal carry in all situations.
Ed has also designed a smaller model, the H.U.G. 2, which is about the size of his very successful P.E.C.K. (Precision Engineered Compact Knife), with a 1.78 inch blade. Again, this little gem weighs only 1.5 ounces and fits in pocket or purse. It’s a handy pen knife, money clip and emergency knife.
Yes, the shape is different from the K.I.S.S. and more refined, but the purpose remains the same—high utility from a minimal design. And like the original K.I.S.S. knife series, all three H.U.G. models are excellent values, built to the highest-quality standards.
So whether you think of it as Halligans Ultimate Gadget or High Utility Gear, never turn down a little H.U.G. .
