Just to clarify; the original KISS is a folder that sort of requires the chisel grind by design, since only one side of the blade is guarded when it's closed.<br><br>http://www.crkt.com/kiss.html<br><br>I don't think that any of these could be made with a conventional grind, but I know that at least some blade shapes of the "Stiff KISS", which is not a folder and may be worn as a neck knife, have a conventional grind. I have a Stiff KISS, but haven’t used it much. I have a “Sampson’s KISS”, the larger version of the KISS folders- I think that’s the one “McGuyver” has:<br><br>http://www.crkt.com/smsnkiss.html<br><br> I find it a very handy (very flat, hence easy to carry) and a pretty capable knife for it's size.<br><br>FWIW, I was hard to convince with regard to neck knives, but have been sold on the concept now for years. The traditional Eastern Woodlands Native American neck knife is carried point down in a loose pouch-sheath that comes about halfway up the handle, and I was afraid I would trip and pull a Marc Antony. In practice, that doesn’t seem to be a problem, though you might want to give preference to a rounded pommel…<br><br>No other carry works nearly as well in the woods for me. It’s out of the way of pack straps and hipbelts, it's not constantly jabbing me, it’s easily kept outside of your outermost layer of clothing (which is constantly changing), works without a belt, with little or no clothing, it's not always in another pair of pants, and is not even much of a hassle to sleep with. It can be drawn- and with the traditional sheath, returned- with one hand. Most modern variants try for a handle-down carry, which seems like it would be a faster draw, but the friction mechanisms combined with having to use two hands to return it quickly become tiresome in practice, especially when sailing where you don't often have a hand to spare. It may be fine for defense, but I find a very slightly quicker draw not worth the much greater hassle of returning it to it's sheath. In fact, I find the friction and trick-catch sheaths annoying enough to make me more hesitant to use the knife at all- not good.<br><br>I have a traditional-styled brain-tanned deerskin sheath with quillwork and red tassels, but it’s a little flamboyant for most occasions. :-) I’ve made a few plainer leather neck sheaths to suit myself over the years, still on the same basic pattern.<br><br>I have 3 or 4 mag-lite Solitaires around- I keep one hanging next to each door- but McGuyver is right, I’ve lost all enthusiasm for incandescent flashlights since white LEDs became available. I have both the Photon II and Photon 3, as well as a Princeton version, and of all I much prefer the 3. It’s clearly more water resistant (no hole for a switch), and requires no tools to change the batteries. The auto-off and flashing modes are just a bonus. I'd still pay twice as much for one that flashed an SOS automatically, but...<br>
