The next evolution of the Ed Halligan KISS line is the H.U.G. (Halligan's Ulitmate Gadget).  The HUG continues the simplistic design but adds a spear point blade and a single Zytel scale for a more dextrous fit in the hand.

The HUG features a blade and single piece frame of high carbon steel, both with a bead blasted finish.  The grind is single sided like the KISS so the blade seals against the frame when closed.  The single Zytel scale covers the blade edge as well to minimize accidental opening.  The integrated liner lock and thumb stud on the blade make both opening and closing operations one handed simple.  A stainless steel compact money clip / pocket clip also gives the knife some useful carry options.

The H.U.G. is available in both a razor sharp and a combined razor and triple point serrated edge.  For a sophisticated finish, there's also the CRKT H.U.G. in the Dark with a non-reflective black titanium nitride blade and frame coating, plus black hardware and a black Teflon plated clip.
