no one has said to raise preflop, so i will say it:
raise preflop!

Meh. I'd usually limp. You already own the button and there is an early position limper, so your edge isn't as large.

Is there any reasonable edge at all? I was under the impression that KTo is more or less premium trash, not to be played unless from the Btn or CO and never in a raised pot.

If the players in the pot are pretty bad (will call down any pair bad), then you have a playing edge over them with position and two broadway cards (it's even larger if a preflop raise means they will check it to you, and your edge grows as the blinds get tighter).
Calling it premium trash is an overstatement. It's a weak broadway combination and it's definitely playable in position in a limped pot.
I would raise to isolate a single bad late position limper if the blinds are willing to cooperate.
I would also openraise from about 2 off the button (full ring), depending on the tightness and postflop skill of the blinds. In 6-max, I'd rather wait until the CO to raise because the blinds are looser and more aggressive.
