CRKT's production Snap Fire is based on Ed Van Hoy's award winning custom Damascus Snap Fire which was named Most Innovative Knife at the 2004 Knifemakers Guild Show.
In this folder, Ed's compression lock allows the blade pivot to move, unlike any other folder we know of. The pivot is on a sliding block recessed in the aluminium frame. Pressing down on the pivot wheels with the thumb lowers the spring loaded pivot block, releasing the AUS 8 stainless steel blade from the stainless steel locking post.
It has a bead blast finish and the thumb wheel is stainless steel with a spectral titanium nitride coating. Because of the nature of the process, every one is slightly different, making each Snap Fire unique.
