Brand new, direct from Viper Knives, Italy.

Blade: Fully flat ground for optimal slicing performance, the 4 mm thick M390 blade has plenty of durability for serious use. A classic drop point profile gives slicing and piercing utility with a handsome satin finish and crowned spine to complement the carbon fiber scales. A section of jimping on the spine delivers added traction and makes for easy indexing in the hand.

Handle: Handsome, marbled carbon fiber scales are attached to the full tang blade with large hollow stainless steel pins and chamfered for comfort. Paired with the prominent index guard the large middle finger choil provides security in the grip while offering fast transitions to other hand positions. The rear tube allows for easy lanyard attachment while the proud, crowned spine delivers a premium look and enhanced in hand feel.

Carries via a custom molded Kydex sheath with UltiClip retention clip.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. M390 also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid problems by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.

*Please note that retention on this knife is not especially strong and inverted carry is not recommended.
