CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Frost Firestarter Snapshot is purpose-built for those who expect more than just a basic everyday carry. It’s a compact, lightweight assisted-opening knife designed not just as a blade, but as a preparedness tool — the kind you throw in a pack, glovebox, or pocket and know it’ll be useful far beyond simple cutting tasks. At its core is a 3" stainless steel drop point blade with a black matte finish, optimized for controlled slicing and utility with a profile sharp enough for feather sticks, cordage, or emergency defense. The assisted-opening mechanism deploys fast with either the flipper tab or ambidextrous thumb stud, making one-handed access instinctive even when wet or gloved.
The frame lock construction keeps weight down while offering superior rigidity compared to traditional liner systems. Its desert sand synthetic handle not only gives tactical contrast to the black blade but offers a secure, low-reflection profile suited to field and survival environments. Security is handled by a tip-down pocket clip that positions the knife deep and discreet — no shiny hardware or noticeable silhouette. Built into the rear of the frame is a glass breaker, immediately ready for rescue, extraction, or vehicle emergency use.
What makes this knife stand apart, however, is the integrated firestarter — a crucial asset for survivalists, hunters, campers, or anyone operating far from backup. Built directly into the handle assembly, it gives you instant access to fire-making capability without the need to carry a separate ferro rod. That feature alone elevates it from EDC to true readiness gear, especially paired with the strong, controlled spark potential generated by its black stainless blade edge.
Every detail is utility-first — rugged deployment, dependable lock strength, ergonomic control, and multiple layers of survival function combined in one no-nonsense package. Whether you run it as a backup blade, primary outdoors companion, or glovebox emergency tool, this Snapshot knife proves itself as more than just cut-and-go — it’s built for real-world response.
