The CRKT Snap Lock Combination Knife was given the “Most Innovative Knife Award” at the American Knifemakers’ Guild Show, the Designer Knife award at the 2004 IWA show in Nuremburg, Germany, and was named “Overall Knife of the Year” at the 2004 Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia.
for it's design. The Snap Lock Combo has a unique custom Snap Lock side opening and closing mechanism. This CRKT knife is perfect for both utility and sport use.
When closed, the AUS 4 stainless steel wishbone frame is a 100% effective blade edge guard; when open, it is a minimal but very usable handle. The harder you grip the handle, the more it locks the blade in place, thanks to twelve positive locking surfaces between the frame and locking lugs, so it is a very safe and secure system.
The CRKT Snap Lock Combo knife features two thumb wheels, for truly ambidextrous use. Left and right removable pocket/money clips are included. The blade can pivot a full 360 degrees with no clip, or 180 degrees in either direction with either stainless steel clip in place. The Snap Lock Combo simply lets you press the thumb wheel and rotate the blade. Opening and closing can be accomplished with one hand and is truly slick and quick.
The AUS 4 stainless steel blade itself has a subtle drop point shape, almost a Wharncliffe, and has five lightening holes that also add a decorative touch.
Blade, frame, and clip of the Snap Lock have a contemporary bead blast finish. It has been called a “far out folder” but the more you handle and carry the Snap Lock, the more you realize it is one great work tool. All steel construction means it is just about indestructible, and will last for years. The handle itself is likely the biggest “spring” ever devised for a knife locking mechanism, so it will last for the life of the CRKT Snap Lock Combination Edge knife.
