believe it's called a viper start. I fantasize about the knife on a regular basis.
Indeed. I purchased one about a month or so ago, but had to return it for a number of reasons. Looks pretty though.

Spendy pocket jewelry knives have their own appeal, but for me nothing beats a user like this one.
This one has skyrocketed to the Top of my EDC list!
When I first saw this blade profile, I thought "I will never own that ugly thing!"
But the more I look at it and use it, it is pure B E A U T Full!

Well, the Viper is a user for me. The fact that it looks good is of course a part of the appeal but I would not never endorse a knife just because of that. I like that it is relatively thin for a folder with 4" blade and sort of disappears in the pocket. Lockup is solid, I can flick it open with ease. And the blade holds an edge relatively well. I'm not an expert on these matters by any standards, but after cutting cardboard for about 20 minutes it still sliced printer paper effortlessly. The locking system is a bit funky but that is the only negative I can think of.

A lot of love for that adams, i might have to try it out
There is a little bit of vertical blade play - nothing scart - but the quality of liners is very poor - unknown "stainless" steel with crapy finish but the knife is cheap so is not so big problem...Is that the cara cara2? Just ordered one and was wondering hows the quality on it. were there any blade play?
thanks
