hey all,
i've got a never-sharpened, never used (besides edge testing on paper), carried twice (?), BASICALLY BRAND NEW (haha) viper italo. this is one of the full titanium models -- both lock side and show side feature absolutely gorgeous 3D milled titanium slabs. viper's milling skills are up there with the best; i can't see any imperfections in the beautiful pattern and contouring.
the knife opens and closes very smoothly on bearings. it flips open well (either light switch or push button), but it can also be opened via the thumb plate -- and, with some practice, it can even be waved out of the pocket for instant deployment. the lock-up is rock-solid and neither too late nor too early.
the knife is beautiful -- but it's also a beast with a razor-sharp, do-anything leaf-shaped m390 blade.
the knife does have two minor issues: (1) the blade centering is just a hair off; and (2) the previously free-spinning pivot has been secured with blue loctite by myself for a tight and stable lock-up.
the knife is pictured below:
new viper fortis knives run in the low-mid $200s; my asking price for this one is $SOLD, shipped to your door (continental US addresses only, please; PayPal or Venmo accepted).
PM me for any questions/offers; otherwise, the first to call it and follow up with payment gets it.
thanks, BF!
