Viper Knives
Designed by Sacha Thiel from France, the Viper Hug comes in a variety of fits and finishes.

Titanium Handles
A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.
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.

Won't be my only one...
Not the last one of these I’m going to buy. I have fallen in love with Viper folders, and though my Turn and Turn Essence are fancier, this is probably one of my top 2 favorite folders… and I have automatics, balisongs, assisted, Kershaws, LionSteels, CRKTs, Vicrotinox, CJRB, etc…This is slow and intentional to open, needs both hands to open and close, and has no pocket clip, but I wouldn’t change anything about it. Walk and talk is great, the handles are great, but the best thing about this knife is the blade. The shape is outstanding, the edge is razor sharp, and the look is striking. I am a bit of a leatherworker and needed to do a quick touch up on a project, and my Hug did better and was easier to control than any of my Xacto or utility knives.

Happy So Far
This is a very attractive little knife with a great feel in the hand and very sharp blade. It will be my dress up EDC. This slipjoint has very stiff opening and closing actions. It would take some doing to close this one on the finger. Workmanship seems quite good. I am happy so far. Not surprisingly, there is zero fidget factor, but a great cutting action.
