Columbia River Van Hoy Snap Lock Razor Sharp Edge Ed Van Hoy is a well known Virginia custom knifemaker and instructor who has a flair for the dramatic and unusual. When his custom Snap Lock was given the "Most Innovative Knife Award" at the American Knifemakers' Guild Show a production version had to be made and here it is the CRKT Snap Lock. It immediately won 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. Yes there have been side opening knives before but none quite like Ed's. A patent is pending for his unique opening and locking mechanism. And although Ed's customs are jewelry-like in their materials and finish Columbia River recognized that the Snap Lock could be a very functional daily utility knife. 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. Ed's cam locking system 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. Simply 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. Five lightening holes also add a decorative touch. Blade frame and clip 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 abou

I purchased this from a different vendor, but I am impressed with this piece of work. It has a very simple yet ingenious mechanism for locking the blade in open and closed positions. There is essentially no way for it to open without you meaning for it to. Once you get the hang of it it's easy to open and close, although flipping out the blade quickly seems difficult.
It is customizable for left or right-handed people; included in the kit are an extra clip and screws for changing the handedness of the knife. It fits well on a key chain and always gets comments from anyone who sees it. I've taken the clips off for ambidexterity.
The blade is short, but strong. I've used it to cut some plastic and it worked very well. The grip is good, but I'm guessing if you have large hands it may not be so easy to grasp.
My only complaint is that the finish on the blade doesn't seem to be so good, as it is wearing off slowly in some places. But hey, it's an excellent knife otherwise.

I normally don't do surveys as I have much better things to do with my time, but since you incest, I'll do this one time only. If I'm asked again I will have to consider shopping elsewhere.
The vendor was extremely prompt and accurate with the order that I placed as to the quantity and item requested.
No complaints.
