KENOSHA, Wis. (May 20, 2015) – Perfect for everyday carry, yet tough enough for life in the shop, the new Snap-on® Rave® knife series is an exclusive Ken Onion design powered by CRKT® . This compact, folding pocket knife features a 2.3-inch blade and a rugged, textured grip with an integrated flipper for fast opening.
“When we asked award-winning knifemaker Ken Onion to design a new knife exclusively for us, the goal was to create something rugged that was easy to carry, easy to open and easy to use,” said Brian Woller, product manager of hand tools for Snap-on® . “The Rave® is durable making it suitable for everyday use in and outside the shop. It measures just over three-and-a-half inches when closed, and the Rave® is equipped with a deep-carry pocket clip keeping it at the ready for any job.”
The sleek, modified drop-point, black blade is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and features a corrosion-resistant coating to protect it from shop chemicals and dirt. Weighing just 3.7 ounces, the Rave® extends to 5.93 inches when fully opened. The locking liner secures the blade during a wide range of tasks from stripping wire to cutting hose. The Rave® is available in three colors with signature Snap-on® logos on the blade and handle for a distinct design.
