Who's excited for #47 Viper?!

[trevytrev]

I promised myself I wasn't going to get one of these but now that I've seen them I guess I'll be breaking that promise....

The smooth bone looks great and I love the feel of it in the hand.

I just paid for my Green Linen Viper, so now I'm excited.

Where? How much?

It was a reserve order from CCK for $68.09

I'm happy they're not too expensive.

Perfect price...psyched!

Jigged bone should be posted today and after that maybe some ebony or stag?

Yeah that is what I thought. I had in mind that it was probably going to be in the $80 range for the micarta and $100 range for everything else.

I see myself getting a few - this is really the perfect shape/size/blade for me; plus a lanyard hole = awesome.

Have one on order in African Blackwood as of an hour ago.

So far, Micarta wins...

How's the wear on the micarta or how does it age over time?

I agree but that bocote is pretty tempting. Hoping the Northfield bone is green tea or the antique yellow or whatever its called that was on some of the scout boys knives. Although autumn bone would give me a matching set to the 55 . The price is right for sure, cant wait to see the rest :thumbup:
