The Snap Lock folder is one of many new models released by CRKT this year and it offered in 2 different blade styles. Designed by American knifemaker Ed Van Hoy, this unique compact folder took the knife community by storm and won the Most Innovative Knife Award at the 2004 Blade Show. Each frame lock designed model features the innovative Snap Lock mechanism and is operated by pressing down on either of the thumb lugs and then rotating the blade outwards in an 180 degree fashion. The Snap Lock mechanism can be closed in the same fashion and also doubles as a safety net--the harder you grip, the harder the blade locks into place. From the beginning, CRKT has been driven by a single purpose: to bring useful technological advancements and entirely new product concepts to today's market. This model, the 5102N, features a skeletonized stainless steel handle, a modified drop point style blade in a bead blast finish and the pocket clip is statically designed for tip up carry only on the traditional side of the handle. Furthermore, this knife comes with a quick-release paracord lanyard for a convenient neck carry option.
