Viper Orion - Anyone have one?

[DavidZ]

I have always been impressed with the Viper knives from Italy that I have had. Excellent workmanship and design. I am interested in getting a Viper Orion fixed blade model, and wondered if anyone of my forumites have this model, and could tell me how they like it, and how it performs. Also, a few additional dimensions - height of blade. A picture or two would be a bonus.
Thanks All

Anyone? Let's try again.

I'm considering buying the Start, but I'd rather have someone's opinion so I bury out the thread from the dead

I have a David and it's pretty neat.

Too fat and thick for how short it is though. D2 is sharp but somewhat brittle depending on what you do. Your tip may snap someday.

The "tactical" sheath is unvelievably bulky.

I dont particularly care for the design of the Orion though.

Anyone? It seems to me that Viper Orion is a thick and solid fixed blade.
