🔪 CRKT Ed Van Hoy Snap Lock 5102NK Folding Knife

✨ Design legend with a unique opening mechanism
📍 Ed Van Hoy | Snap Lock Series | Limited Edition

✨ One of the most decorated knives of all time is back and better than ever

The Snap Lock took the knife world by storm when it won the Most Innovative Knife award at the 2004 Blade Show . CRKT breathes new life into this unique everyday carry component by bringing back the 180° twist-open. If you think it might be all show and no substance, take a minute and do a 180° flip yourself.

Ed Van Hoy dreamed up this historic design from his shop in Abingdon, Virginia. It’s not only one of the most unique knives on the market, but it’s also one of the most useful—it includes a money clip and has a remarkably low profile so it’s never a burden. Plus, a quick-release lanyard adds the option to wear it around your neck, so it’s always close at hand.

The stainless steel blade has a subtle tip shape and when closed forms a matching trapezoidal arm frame – a 100% effective blade edge protector. The unique open mechanism becomes instantly intuitive as you push the front lever and rotate the blade outwards a full 180°. Once open, the minimal but very easy to use handle is extremely secure: the Snap Lock mechanism secures the knife so the harder you grip it, the more it secures the blade in place thanks to multiple positive locking surfaces between the frame and the locking lugs.

This knife has made history – get your hands on a piece of Ed’s legacy with Snap Lock.
