Sleek, stylish handle facings with geometric texture as well as giving an aggressive look and increasing the knife's functionality, a modified blade Wharncliffe.

M390 Microclean® - highest quality modern tool steel. Manufactured using powder metallurgy technology with extremely high corrosion and abrasion resistance. High chromium (Cr) steel 20.0% and doped with vanadium (V) 4.0%. Hardened to between 59-61 HRC. The steel was subjected to vacuum treatment i cryogenic and double tempering. Manufactured at the Austrian smelter Böhler-Uddeholm.

Slip-Joint - "no lock" non-locking mechanism used in folders in which the blade is held in the open position by spring pressure on the flat section at the back of the blade shank during use. Slip Joint holds the wedge in both the folded and unfolded positions. When folding, it generates a smooth resistance as in a knife equipped with a traditional locking mechanism.

Head - with a strong tip ideal for piercing and a long cutting edge. Modified blade Wharncliffe covered with satin finishing. Small thickness of the wedge 4 mm in combination with a full flat grind (Full Flat Grind) gives razor-level cutting properties with above-average durability. Washers made of bronze support the smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened with notches on the wedge nail nick.

Handle - facings of solid titanium machined using 3D with a three-dimensional geometric texture for an attractive finish. The covers were attached to steel liners which in practice means the certainty of many years of use. At the end of the handle lanyard hole hole for attaching a cord, making it easy to quickly remove the knife from the sheath.

Etui - pouch in color brown. Made of high quality leather with etched brand logo Viper, makes it easy to carry the knife on a daily basis.
