Disable snapping for knife tool cut?

Question

If I use the knife tool, and I use it near edges, the mouse will snap to them and it wont allow to me make lines close to it unless I zoom in very close.
How can I disable snapping for the knife tool?

Answer 1

You can hold Shift while using the knife tool to disable snapping. Look in the 3D view header and you will see the knife tool options and keys to press. The image below is a screen shot of the 3D view header during the use of the knife tool.
