Viper knives

[Scyth]

Hello!

Has anyone got experience with these products? I'm particularly interested in their liner lock folding knives; how strong and reliable are they?

They look awful nice but where is their price list?

 

[Marcelo Cantu]

They look an awful lot like Ka-Bar's Techno cut series.

If you can get a better price for Viper go for it.

Oops, I just saw "Technocut" on the bottom right of the Viper page.

I bet these are the guys who made the very similar-looking knives for the late lamented Delta Z. In that case, at any decent price, yes, go for it. Nice, solid work.

By the way, Scyth, welcome to Bladeforums!

Thanks for the replies.The viper knives,both fixed blades and folding knives seem to be quality products (for example I couldn't see pins on bolsters of their fixed blades) and (at least here at the local dealer) surprisingly ,not expensive (in comparison to US prices of knives of similar quality) for such apparently quality products. I don't have experience with liner locks so I wanted to hear other ,more knowledgeable opinions. The price of that viper liner lock folder was significantly lower than of that KaBar Technocut knife ,although the knives seem to be virtually identical.
