VP5978FCB: Jesper Voxnaes Key Slipjoint Folding Knife - Bronze Carbon Fiber

Viper Knives

Initially introduced at SHOT Show 2019, the Key is the first slipjoint with a backspring by Viper Knives. This new-age traditional folder, designed by Jesper Voxnaes, is a daily luxury to be used without worry and is as important as a classy pen or a fine watch to your daily carry. It's the ideal size to disappear in the pocket and perform adequately when its number is called.

The Key is available in different handle styles, traditional and modern, with or without bolsters, so it can match the best with its owner's style. All the versions have the refined hand file work in common, which decorates the rounded spring, giving to the knife the typical elegance that always identifies the "Gentleman" Viper Knives. The satin blade - Bohler M390, 3 mm thick -offers excellent cutting performance and long life to the knife.

The handle is available with stainless steel liners and canvas Micarta, G10 or carbon fiber scales. In the Key versions with bolsters, the liners and bolsters are machined from a single piece of titanium which is hardly ever seen on production knives because of the high cost but its totally worth it. The improved aesthetics when you look down the spine of the knife and improved build quality make this knife a true high-end gentleman's knife. The titanium handle version with its 3D machining is also ultra-refined and has an exceptional visual effect.

Cons: None
Quite elegant, but needs some changes
Overall, it's a great knife, it's sleek, slim, elegant, has great materials, the CF reflects nicely in the sun, M390 is a great steel and it has a strong spring that makes it difficult for it to close on you.However, there are two things I really didn't like: 1.- At least mine, is an absolute nightmare to put back together, as the strenght of the spring just makes everything a pain to align or to keep in place2.- This really should have a 2/3 stop instead of a half-stop, as your fingers would be placed exactly where te blade would land if the task at hand made this thing close on you. And, due to the same strenght of the spring, I'm pretty sure it would drive the blade really deep into your finger, which could be easily avoided if the blade stopped sooner

Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Sheath
Fancy knife
Materials are great. premium handles and a premium steel. Fit and finish is amazing, everything fits and feels great, haven't had a single copper wire poking it's way out. The jimping is on the spring (as it should) and not on the spine of the knife. And the rope-like file work on the bottom of the spring is fantastic. Now comes the spring itself, it's quite hard to disengage, providing more security for your fingers, however, it's just as difficult to deploy the blade. It also has a half-stop, which doesn't quite make sense to me. Because it stops right were your index finger will be and, given how strong the spring is, it will dig right into your finger. I would much prefer if it had a 2/3 stop instead. Also, the sheath is not excellent, it's sof leather, but mine came with a gap, not great qc on it. Lastly, this is a true nightmare to take apart, the spring will very easily knock the pins out of place and won't let them back without a fight. Overall, I really like it and can recommend it, just keep in mind this is not the easiest knife to open and to not throw too hard of a job at it.
