H.U.G. - Razor Edge

    How do you follow one of the most successful designs in modern knife history? Ed Halligan’s 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 Ed’s latest two-piece design Halligan’s 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” 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” 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 Halligan’s Ultimate Gadget or High Utility Gear, never turn down a little H.U.G.   5570: Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge Blade: Length: 2.30” (5.8 cm) Thickness: 0.12” (0.30 cm) Steel: 420J2, 54-56 HRC Closed: Handle length: 3.65” (9.3 cm) Open: Overall length: 5.71” (14.5 cm) Weight: 2.5 oz.
