Discussion on the [http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?18379-snap-it-pe Spyderco forums], with pictures of The Deacon's orange EMT version.

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

Pre-dates the Spyderco web catalog.

Was voted the 1993 Blade magazine "Overall Knife of the Year."

[http://www.google.com/patents?id=Cq01AAAAEBAJ&zoom=4&dq=4%2C776%2C094&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q=4,776,094&f=false Sal's Patent] for the C26.

The prototype originally had the snap on the back end, opposite the pivot, but was switched when it was discovered that this forced the user to rotate the knife 180 degrees before opening it, which could present a problem in an emergency.

==Variations==

The C26 is made in Seki-City, Japan and has
* a Mar-McBurnette front lock
* Built-in Wichard-style carabiner clip
