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.

5 out of 5 stars
Very fidgety!
Don’t take any other knife snobs. This is a very fidgety knife. It cut me a few times getting the hang of it so be careful. I put my own 17° edge on it for my standard paper towel test. The grind on the blade is not perfect, hence the uneven bevel but I am not too bothered by it.

It's a really cool knife to add to my collection and it makes a great conversation piece. The only thing that I don't like is that its super easy to poke your finger if you're not holding it right while opening it. But that might be every knife.

It's good to come across a quality knife with some flare. The operation of this knife can be hairy so take some caution. The design is nice and it has a quality feel especially for how small the knife is. How you decide to use it is up to you but I didn't buy it for edc but just to have for its difference in design. All is solid. Would buy again.

I really love this knife. Great EDC. The design is unique and can be difficult at first. However once you master it becomes easier than a traditional folding knife. I never have to worry about it opening in my pocket either. My only gripe is I wish there was a upgrade version that had better blade steel. This is my second one because I thought I lost it. I didn't want to be without it

5.0 out of 5 stars A Utilitarian Work of Art
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2022
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Now I don't usually fool with reviewing knives. Pretty basic stuff. But this critter is one of a kind - in a good way. How it is deployed is like no other, and while it takes a bit of practice the effect is truly captivating. I bought one of these many years ago when the design first hit the streets and have purchased any number of them after to have backups as well as giving away to "techie" friends. If you're a gizmo head, you're going to like this unusual knife. For those wondering about if it's a good knife (as opposed to a nifty toy) the answer is yes. Once deployed it's solid with none of that annoying play, it's sharp and holds a decent edge, and is a good carry knife while being something you can fidget with at the same time. The only warning I might offer is that if you have dexterity issues, this might not be the knife for you. But if you like unique designs that depart from run-of-the-mill, you're going to love this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great light duty EDC
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
This is a great little knife for the price. It is small enough to be compact and large enough to be useful at a 2.5 inch blade length, It came shaving sharp from the factory and so far in 4 months worth of light daily use for cutting boxes etc, I have still not had to sharpen it. It fits nicely in a jean pocket and has a super slim profile so you forget its even there except when you need it which I really like. Its super light too which is also nice. Its fun to open and close (making a satisfying "snap" sound) and people notice it both for its unique manner of opening and it's skeletal/steampunkish styling. The large brass bushing inside of the cam gives a nice little pop of color too. If you are looking for a very affordable light duty knife that is both fun, stylish and functional, this is a great option.

There is only one con I can find about it, and that is while the blade is locked from side to side play very securely I am not sure of the strength of the pins it pivots on and the flexibility of the frame if you were to bear down really hard on the handle while cutting I suspect you might be able to dislodge the blade from the handle, but it would take some pretty serious pressure which this is not a knife for heavy tasks, so if you break it doing that, you probably should be using a heavy duty knife.
