The Hoffner Snap has a 3.5-inch satin VG-10 stainless blade with a partially serrated edge, a black G10 handle, a thumb stud, a lanyard hole and a pocket clip, closing to 4.88 inches.
Hoffner is best known for its rescue hook designs, and the Snap is the folding knife in that line: a plain working folder rather than a rescue tool, made on the same idea that a blade should be simple enough to use without thinking. VG-10 is a Japanese stainless prized for balancing edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance, a step above the 8Cr steels common at this size.
The edge is split, plain toward the tip and serrated nearer the handle, so rope and webbing get the teeth while detail cutting gets the controlled section. At 4.88 inches closed the Snap fills a hand properly, and G10 holds its shape through heat, cold and damp. Explore more Modern EDC Linerlocks.
