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.Specifications:Blade Length: 2.554" (64.87 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: 420J2Blade Finish: Bead BlastBlade Thickness: 0.124" (3.15 mm)Grind: HollowClosed Length: 4.207" (106.86 mm)Open Length: 6.250" (158.75 mm)Weight: 2.5 oz (70.87g)Handle: 420J2Style: Folding Knife with Snap Lock Review: Great light duty EDC - 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. Review: A sharp looking sharp blade - Unique, attractive design. Comfortable to hold. Relatively easy to open with one hand after a little practice. Solid locking mechanism so far. I’ll see how that holds up over time. Perfect for light duty pocket knife needs. ## Features - Innovative Opening: Unique cam action of the snap lock mechanism - Minimizes Reflectivity: Bead blast finish reduces reflection - Quick Release: Lanyard can be quickly released from tool for safety - Designed by Ed Van Hoy in Abingdon, Virginia - Limited Lifetime Warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship, see company site for details ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N5XTSCS | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #101,666 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #432 in Pocket Knives & Folding Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 2.55 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Drop Point | | Blade Type | Folding | | Brand | CRKT | | Brand Name | CRKT | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,432 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00794023510225 | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | CRKT 5102N, Pamphlet | | Item Length | 6.25 inches | | Item Shape | Drop Point | | Item Type Name | Holster | | Item Weight | 2.5 ounces | | Manufacturer | Columbia River Knife & Tool | | Model Name | Snap Lock™ | | Model Number | 5102N | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 5102N | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Construction | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 2.6" | | Special Feature | Foldable | | Special Features | Foldable | | Style | Compact | | UPC | 794023510225 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** CRKT - **Color:** Gray - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Included Components:** CRKT 5102N, Pamphlet - **Model Name:** Snap Lock™ - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Construction - **Special Feature:** Foldable - **Style:** Compact ## Images ![CRKT Snap Lock Everyday Carry EDC Pocket Folding Knife with Snap Lock: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, Pocket Clip, 5102N - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716iUx1uvFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this Made in USA?** A: No, it's not.

Comfortable to hold. Relatively easy to open with one hand after a little practice. Solid locking mechanism so far. I’ll see how that holds up over time. Perfect for light duty pocket knife needs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice knife *by G***D on April 13, 2026* I like CRKT knives. This one was no exception. Best to use the lanyard on the outside of a shirt vs inside, at least for me. But works great and handy, specially if no pockets at the moment. I like the open handle design and have several others with the same feature.... ## Frequently Bought Together - CRKT Snap Lock Folding Pocket Knife: Gentleman Everyday Carry, Satin Blade, Innovative Snap Lock Mechanism Skeletonized Handle, Quick Release Lanyard 5102N - CRKT K.I.S.S.
