SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Hoffner Knives SNAP Thin Red Line is more than just a knife—it’s a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of first responders. Designed for those who run toward danger when others run away, this everyday carry folder blends strength, speed, and purpose into one exceptional blade. With a 3.25” VG-10 stainless steel tanto blade, it delivers superior edge retention and cutting power. The tanto shape enhances durability and piercing ability, making it a dependable tool for both precision tasks and heavy-duty work. Coated in a rugged black stonewash finish, the blade resists wear and corrosion, ensuring it’s always ready for action.
The SNAP opening system makes this knife as fast as it is reliable. When the deep-carry pocket clip is positioned tip-up, the thumb stud allows for smooth, controlled deployment. When carried tip-down, the SNAP opener engages with a quick downward motion, letting you deploy the blade in an instant. Whether you prefer deliberate precision or rapid response, this knife adapts to your needs. A secure linerlock ensures the blade stays locked in place, giving you confidence in every cut.
Built for comfort and control, the black G-10 handle features a bold red line running down the center—a powerful symbol of the Thin Red Line that represents the courage and sacrifice of firefighters and first responders. The textured G-10 scales provide a sure grip in any conditions, whether you’re wearing gloves, working in the rain, or tackling demanding tasks. Ergonomically designed for extended use, the handle reduces fatigue while maximizing performance. The round shield emblem adds a distinctive touch, while the lanyard hole offers extra carry versatility.
Sized for everyday carry but tough enough for serious tasks, this knife measures 4.87” closed and extends to 8.37” overall. At just 4.5 ounces, it’s lightweight enough for all-day use but substantial enough to handle whatever comes your way. Whether you’re cutting through seatbelts, breaking down materials, or using it for daily tasks, the Hoffner SNAP Thin Red Line is built to perform.
This knife isn’t just a tool—it’s a statement of respect and gratitude for those who put their lives on the line. Whether you’re a first responder, firefighter, or someone who honors their service, this blade is a meaningful and functional addition to your gear.
