CRKT Snap Lock Folding Pocket Knife: Gentleman Everyday Carry, Satin Blade, Innovative Snap Lock Mechanism Skeletonized Handle, Quick Release Lanyard 5102N

Note on the pictures, the 2004 production knife is on top or right, therefore the 2018 knife is bottom or left.Revival of an old favorite! First off, the knife comes sharpened with a very, very, very sharp microbevel (microbevels are and industry standard for production knives as Scandi grinds or full flat grinds are too difficult to QA/QC on large scale productions, Bark River might be the exception). Moving on, I had a couple of these knives about 10-12 years ago during a previous production run and loved them. I lost one and gave the other to my wife (she still uses it as her edc). You can sometimes find originals on eBay, but they are never cheep. This new run is slightly different than the original, and I think it is just as good, if not better. The knife itself is a little thinner and the coating is a little darker than the original. The thickness provides more comfortable pocketability, while the color is purely aesthetic. CRKT doesn’t normally use high end/exotic steel with their knives, and this knife is no exception. It is stainless steel with reasonable hardness 50-52 (which is actually kinda soft/elastic compared to blades), but that is what you want with an everyday working knife. Elmax or CPM3V with HR ratings of 57-59 are great for fixed blades or expensive folders, but how many people would buy this knife if it were priced at 5x the current price and was a pain to sharpen. Probably not as many.In conclusion, great revival with a few useful updates.Thanks, and be safe.

So I really wanted to like this knife. It looks incredible, very distinct from your average pocket knife. But when I started to cycle it open a few times, it seemed awkward and a little difficult. My initial impression was a little underwhelming.A few days in and I have to say that I absolutely love this knife. It takes a day or so to get fluid with opening and closing it and I find myself playing around with it similar to what I would do with a butterfly knife. It’s a really fun knife to have with you.As to the quality, it’s a great knife. Well made, great blade, absolutely nothing to complain about. No regrets with the purchase.I would be quick to recommend it to anyone who wants a pocket knife that sticks out above the norm. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who tends to use their pocket knife as a something to fidget with. You’ll absolutely love this knife.

Design is incredibleFunction is flawlessOnce you get used to open/closing it you’ll be addicted.HOWEVER:Same as other flipper I bought (which I also adore) it is, in the end, a knife. The pivot area and lock show no sign of wear even with excessive use but the knife (knives) have the softest edge I’ve ever seen. Literally, about the 3rd time you sharpen a carpenters pencil half the edge will be rolled over and be dull enough to lend to your toddler. Sad because I am so into this design it’s scary. All the stars are for the designer (you my friend are a rock star). The lack of stars is for CRKT letting this one slip past. Still love CRKT, they’ve put out a ton of great designs and will still buy they’re stuff. Just a little sad I got 2 different knives in a row with the same problem. Hose quality control down with cold water, wake them up, and put your game faces back on dudes (rally caps on).

It is a nice novelty item that also contains a CRKT sharp knife on it! What could be better? A two-for-one deal! I’ll only give it four, because I do not want this to be my only knife. It’s more like you pull it out and nobody has one but you. All your friends only have their Zero Tolerance s35v, and Spyderco S30V steel blades and junk like that there, ESEE fixed blades, and Morakniv sandvik grind high carbon blades...ah...HAH! But none of theirs flips out of the handle and turns 180 degrees on its axis to lock into place!

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.

This is a neat looking knife. My belief is that the designer was trying to appeal to the SteamPunk crowd because it has all of those elements. It is scary Sharp right out of the box So with that said I wish that I had not bought it. It is a dangerous and impractical knife! Almost impossible to open two handed but that is managed with one hand after practice. Almost all of us has cut ourselves with a knife. But none of us has cut ourselves with every knife we own. I firmly believe that every one of us owning this knife will be cut by it. The opening design is dangerous!The openness of the knife and pocket clip will wear your pocket lining after little time.Mine is in the case and will stay there. Wish that I had not bought it.

El diseño como de esperar es innovador aunque difícil de tomar el hilo para abrirlo en comparación de una navaja tradicional. El clip para el bolsillo queda raro al cambiarlo de lado y las roscas para los tornillos del mismo tienen demaciado loctite y complican el quitarlos y volverlos a poner. No es para uso totalmente diario ya que afilarlo muy seguido podría quitarle mucho de la vista artesanal, pero es una excelente pieza de conversación.

Lo compré en Noviembre y en cinco meses, con un uso esporádico, cortar un plástico, abrir algún recipiente, abrir cajas, usos muy livianos, ya presenta holguras con lo cual la hoja "baila" al estar cortando.A su vez, el mecanismo de apertura empieza a ir demasiado duro y lo más importante para mí.Elegí este cuchillo por la dificultad para abrirlo pero ya el mismo cuchillo se abre solo simplemente empujando la hoja.El mecanismo de apertura y cierre es muy "molón" pero es muy endeble.Y más para lo que cuesta.Compramos un cúter.

Entregada rápido en perfectas condiciones.Los detalles, el acabado, el sistema de apertura y cierre, la hoja con su aguda punta y cortante filo hacen de esta herramienta un objeto bello y útil.Llevaba tiempo buscando este sistema de apertura, con un poco de práctica se abre y cierra en un instante quedando perfectamente asegurada en ambas posiciones.El tamaño y peso es adecuado, en mano presenta un agarre firme y cómodo.Repito que está muy afilada, no es un juguete.Compra satisfactoria.

No ves lo hermoso que es este cuchillo hasta que lo tienes en tus manos. Es una joya. A y eso si, es exageradamente filoso!

Man braucht etwas Übung zum Öffnen der Klinge, aber kein Problem. Leicht und scharf, es lässt sich durch den Clip gut tragen. Sehr praktisch bei allen Aktivitäten und immer zur Hand. Eine gelungene Konstruktion.100% Weiterempfehlung.
