hi - had these 2 about a month now and would like to share my opinion of them with you all - the CRKT KISS i got is the tanto combo blade, came pretty sharp but had to work on it some to get the thing right - first knife i've had w/the chisel edge and its really pretty easy - seems to hold an edge ok, well maybe not like my emerson or BM but then again cost about 1/4 of 1 of them sooo - i carry mine with the handle wrapped, which is easy enought to do on this knife if ya can lace up shoes anyway - has a pretty neat sheath with a several carry options - around the neck, a clip on the sheath, belt loops, and a horizontal mount - i carry almost 100% of the time using the belt clip, on my right hip inside the pants - the knife is really too heavy IMHO for a neck carry - just too big along with the sheath and heavy too- been thinking about cutting out mine(the sheath) along the middle part molded around the knife, and doing away with the neck carry and belt loop options - will make it a lot narrower and shorter and easier to carry and conceal IMHO -will let yall know how it turns out - gotta figure out what to use to cut it - but anyway IMHO that is really where this knife is best used, in a belt carry - its just a little longer/heavier than the Cuda and ya wouldnt think it mattered but it does believe me - the Cuda is really what ya should get IMHO if ya want a dedicated neck knife - this knife came sharper than any knife i have ever had from the factory(spyderco, emerson, BM, gerber) - shaving sharp easy - i wrapped the handle with paracord to fit my hand better - i exchanged emails with darrel ralph the designer, thinking about a custom knife, and asked him how to best wrap it with the cord and he said he carries his with out any cord soo - but i have a big hand - the knife has a well designed simple sheath that carries well - i wear it when i bike, 4-5 times a week and ya forget its there - a real keeper i like it a lot - so IMHO if ya want a neck knife get the Arclite, and if ya want a belt carry or clip carry try the KISS(but really a lot of better belt carry knives out there IMHO, when carrying a sheath knife i carry my MOD Razorback, and its a hell of a lot better belt knife than the CRKT, perhaps an unfair comparison because of the price on the MOD, $170 retail) - and the NECK PECK might be a good 1 too - and i wanna get 1 of those woo's from wicked knife co - they look cool too and $25 - so for $25 ya can get a lot of knife anyway ya go, these are both good knives in there own way.........
