Description
VP5985ZI: Jesper Voxnaes Katla Folding Knife - Zircote Wood
Viper Knives
The Katla, designed by Jesper Voxnaes, is a liner lock folding knife with a relatively compact size yet tactical tanto profile that we find very appealing. The Bohler M390 steel blade, hardened at 59-61HRC, provides excellent cutting qualities and opens smoothly with ball bearings and the thumb stud or nicely designed flipper. The action is crisp and authoritative and Jesper put a small finger choil on the blade for fine detail work. The smooth, flat scales allow for easy access in and out of the pocket. The Katla is available in a number of different versions, all of which include a real bronze pivot ring and backspacer in addition to a titanium clip that allows for comfortable and discreet carry.

Fantastic wood, good action and build quality
Companies tend to struggle to make wood handles that look and feel good without making them overly treated and plastic feeling. This is a beautiful execution of Zircote wood with nice bronze accents that work well with the deep richness of the wood colors. Action on this knife is very good, feels like a different brand than my Viper Vale with smooth and easy opening. Only considerations is just too many logos on the blade and just over 3" if you have length laws in your area.
