This Viper Carnera has been by my bed for a few months, and has been taken out to practice with quite a lot. It has never cut anything and has no dings or other impact damage. There is some coating wear from unsheathing/resheathing, as shown in the pics. Other than this, it is a brand new knife. Made in Maniago Italy to high quality specifications.
There are a lot of reviews on YouTube (mostly in French) showing this knife in action. The conclusion: it is remarkably well balanced, has excellent ergonomics, and takes a serious beating with no issues.
Here's a short use video by Sacha Thiel (codesigner of the Spyderco PPT):
