Knives as gifts
There is folk lore or a superstition regarding the giving of a knife
as a gift. If the knife is given to a friend, money must be exchanged as well.
It is considered very bad luck to give someone a knife without exchanging money
or the friendship will be cut by the knife. Because of this superstition, it is
common that the gift of a knife will be given along with a penny, nickel or dime
in the box with the knife so that the recipient can give back the coin, thereby
saving the friendship from being severed by the giving of the sharp blade. The
exact background of this superstition is unclear yet, even today most people
will include a coin with the gift of a knife and request the coin be given back.
The apparent view is that it is far better to be safe than sorry.

K.I.S.S.
Blade Material: High carbon stainless steel
Length/style: 2 1/4 in. Tanto, chisel-point ground
Handle material: High carbon stainless steel
Overall length: 3 1/2 in.
Sheath or clip: Pocket/money clip
Description: The compact palm size folder has but two
major components--the blade and the frame. The ingenuity of the K.I.S.S. 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 safe
lockup. The Tanto blade is ground only on the front so that the flat backside is closed
onto its handle/frame. It effectively seals the cutting edge to the frame. The design of
the K.I.S.S. allows it to be used as a money clip, as a key chain, or clipped to the
pocket. (Money pictured not included)

and the handle. The Frame Lock(TM) is part of the
handle and provides a safe and positive lock when it snaps into position. Whether used as
a high performance cutting tool, a money clip, a key fob, a letter opener or even a ladies
knife, the P.E.C.K. is more than up to the task. (Money pictured not included.)
