Snap Lock All Black

Imagine you're in the middle of a post-apocalyptic desert, your vehicle is purring along, and you need a tool that's as uncompromising as you are – the impressive CRKT Snap Lock All Black would be the knife Mad Max would wear on his belt. This futuristic EDC looks like it comes from another age, or rather, from another reality. With its black finish and bronze-colored accents, 6.5 cm blade made of 420J2 steel and striking stainless steel frame, it exudes a dark, end-time aesthetic with high-tech vibes.

What makes it special? The blade doesn't just flip open – it turns 180 degrees out of the handle, controlled by the iconic snap-lock mechanism. No standard flipper, no axis lock – here the unexpected rules. A design by Ed van Hoy, which won the award for the most innovative knife at the Blade Show back in 2005 and still looks like a mechanical work of art today. The movement almost feels like a small machine command – click, turn, secure. Just the thing for rebels, collectors or techies.

With a total length of 15.9 cm when open and a pleasantly compact design, the Snap Lock remains a practical tool for everyday use despite its extravagance. The black titanium nitride coating perfectly rounds off the design and provides the necessary resistance in harsh environments – be it in the urban jungle or on dusty roads far from civilization.

The CRKT Snap Lock All Black is not a knife for everyone – but that's exactly what makes it so exciting. It's a statement, a tool and a design object in one. Who says the future can't start in your pocket?
