Traditional and Modern pairings

Interesting blade shape on the Viper. Sent me on a search to find out what it was called. Various vendors listed it as a tanto or "modified sheepsfoot". It doesn't look like either one to me. Is there a specific purpose for it? Or just trying something different? Given my amateurish sharpening skills, it looks hard to sharpen. I'd probably have to hire a professional :)
Piqued my interest. Good conversation starter :D

I was attracted to it, at first, all those years ago because it has a similar theme to some of the Harley Davidson graphics - and even at my age I still have the iconic HD skulls on my bike, but in a subtle manner compared to some. As you can imagine, the size and blade design sealed the buy in my head.

As you’ll likely have found ACK have sold a few over the years.

Bought mine, all those years ago, along with a few other custom folders, from Knifeart……….all back in the day when posting stuff across the pond was a breeze, those days long gone..!
