Product Description

One of the most decorated knives of all time is back.

The Snap Lock held the knife world in rapture when it won the Most Innovative Knife Award at the 2004 Blade Show. We’re breathing new life into this unique everyday carry folder. If you think that it might be all show and no substance, spend a mere minute with it and you’ll do a 180° swing yourself.

To open, simply press the front cam lever mechanism down with your thumb and rotate the blade outward until it fully extends and securely clicks into place. To close the knife, press down on the cam lever to disengage then swing the blade back into the closed position. Once the blade is in the closed position, no part of the edge is exposed and the knife is secure to carry.

From his shop in Abingdon, Virginia, Ed Van Hoy dreamed up this historical design. It’s not only one of the most unique knives on the market, but it’s one of the most useful—it features a money clip, and is remarkably low profile so it’s never a burden to have on hand.

The stainless steel blade has a subtle drop point shape. When closed, the matching wishbone frame is a 100% effective blade edge guard. The unique open mechanism becomes instantly intuitive once you push down on the front cam lever then rotate the blade outwards for a full 180°. The handle features a one position pocket clip for convenient carry.

This knife made history, get your hands on a piece of Ed’s leg-acy with the Snap Lock reissue.

Revival of an old favorite.
5 Stars
Revival of an old favorite.
Note on the pictures, the 2004 production knife is on top or right, therefore the 2018 knife is bottom or left.Revival of an old favorite! First off, the knife comes sharpened with a very, very, very sharp microbevel (microbevels are and industry standard for production knives as Scandi grinds or full flat grinds are too difficult to QA/QC on large scale productions, Bark River might be the exception). Moving on, I had a couple of these knives about 10-12 years ago during a previous production run and loved them. I lost one and gave the other to my wife (she still uses it as her edc). You can sometimes find originals on eBay, but they are never cheep. This new run is slightly different than the original, and I think it is just as good, if not better. The knife itself is a little thinner and the coating is a little darker than the original. The thickness provides more comfortable pocketability, while the color is purely aesthetic. CRKT doesn’t normally use high end/exotic steel with their knives, and this knife is no exception. It is stainless steel with reasonable hardness 50-52 (which is actually kinda soft/elastic compared to blades), but that is what you want with an everyday working knife. Elmax or CPM3V with HR ratings of 57-59 are great for fixed blades or expensive folders, but how many people would buy this knife if it were priced at 5x the current price and was a pain to sharpen. Probably not as many.In conclusion, great revival with a few useful updates.Thanks, and be safe.
