Viper knife: practical application of Italian design

Most of Viper's pocket knives are designed by famous designers and made from premium steel types and exotic handle materials.

Viper knives: blade

Viper knives are available in different steel grades such as M390 steel, Böhler N690 steel, MagnaCut steel and Elmax steel. These are steel types with excellent sharpness retention.

Viper knives: handles

The handles offer a good and comfortable grip and are made from different materials, including titanium, micarta, carbon fibre and different types of wood. The finest woods from around the world are selected and used for the wooden handles. The handles undergo a series of treatments that make them water-resistant and very durable, giving each knife a picture-perfect look.
