VP5974BC: Novis Front Flipper - Bolstered Bocote Wood
Viper Knives
The Novis, designed by Fabrizio Silvestrelli, is a folding knife with an extremely modern design. It combines both tactical and utility functions into its impressive piece which contains the common details to all of the Viper production knives: it is extremely elegant but also handy in everyday use. The blade, with a modified Wharncliffe, reverse tanto-ish shape, has a slight belly and a strong tip and, thanks to the Bohler M390 Microclean steel, has an extraordinary cutting capacity and long life.
The Novis has an extremely strong liner lock locking system that locks the blade firmly each and every time. It is available in seven versions with different materials handles and bolster options but the excellent thumb ramp remains on each one of them. The options with the chiseled titanium bolsters are extremely elegant: a true gentleman's knife that can protect your life. The Novis comes with a double temper and cryogenically treated blade, a titanium backspacer, a refined leather pocket sheath.

Wood Handles
Provides a traditional, natural look and feel to a modern tool. Wood absorbs shock well and is popular in axe handles.
M390
A go-to option for premium knives. Made by Bohler-Uddeholm, this 3rd generation powder-metal alloy offers high edge retention and excellent stainless properties.
Leather Sheath
Leather is known for its durability and traditional appeal. When compared to Kydex it is preferred for its silence when bumped against other objects, as well as blade retention.

Stunningly Beautiful knife
This knife is M390 ,Titanium Bolsters and a beautiful wood handle. This knife should cost $100 more than it does. So I think it's a steal at the current price. It's a sophisticated elegant knife that is very high quality. They say it's a wharncliffe blade but I think it's more a sheepsfoot. The liner lock is rather thin but I'd still be happy without a lock. You're not going to use this knife for cutting boxes. It's too beautiful for that.This is a great knife to give to a collector.

An Elegant Dress Knife
This is a stunning knife and perfect for a dress knife that's a little different from those slim Gentleman knives. The Titanium bolsters provide a very elegant lift the beautiful Bocote wood scales. The blade shape is perfect for a variety of uses that you might have when dressed up. The modified Wharncliffe blade suits the elegance of the knife. The front flipper has a perfectly tuned detent, and the tab is easily accessed to flip. I find this easy to flip (over the Feist for example). The front flipper means that it's both ambidextrous and has cleanness to the design. It also means there is no pocket clip (with a smooth leather pouch is provided). It's a medium sized knife providing a full hand grip.Overall I really dig it. I carry it both with my Sunday best and for a night out in the jeans front pocket.(I live in Australia and Knifecenter were prompt with postage and there were no problems with customs or arrival to my home.)
