Viper is a subsidiary of the Italian cutlery company Tecnocut. Tecnocut seems to make a number of commercial grade knives and tools, and their Viper brand seems to be more consumer oriented. Tecnocut also acts as a distributor for some international brands. Viper’s knives range from more traditional fixed blades and gentleman’s folders to larger tactical knife offerings. Most of their products do seem to have a blend of old world materials and modern manufacturing, which I happen to find very interesting.
The build quality and fit and finish that I have seen on their products is very high, and their unique take on cutlery continues to intrigue me. Expect to see more Viper reviews in the future as I familiarize myself with the brand.

Giant Mouse ACE Biblio Review
Wandering the hallowed halls of BladeShow in Atlanta can be an overwhelming and even intimidating experience. Knives are (not literally) being thrown at you right and left and it’s difficult to remember what you’ve seen, what you wanted to see, and what you haven’t been able to find yet. Several things stuck out to me ...
Viper Dan 2 Review
I have a bit of a love affair going on with slipjoint knives. Part of the reason for that is – if I may be frank – that the framelock flipper is a pretty stale form right now. Don’t get me wrong, many blades of that stripe are beautiful, functional, and deserving of ...
Viper Odino Review
The “Italian Renaissance” of knife making has been on my radar for a few years now. Manufacturers like LionSteel, Fox, Fantoni, and Viper are getting more traction stateside. The Italians have been doing some interesting stuff with manufacturing and innovation over the past few years, and the level of quality is often exceptionally high. Buy ...
Viper Start Review
Last Updated: September 9, 2019 I got my first introduction to Viper at the 2013 Blade Show in Atlanta this past summer. A couple of my favorite reviewers, the EdgeObserver and Stefan Schmalhaus, have sampled Viper’s offerings quite extensively. It has taken me a little while longer to warm up to this interesting Italian brand. Buy ...

What angle are viper tech blades sharpened to
I bought a Viper Free from House of Knives. The knife is flawed in every way. The knife had to be forced open using two hands finally after years of being ignored by Viper for warranty House of Knives sent it to their company knife doctor who could not fix the knife however you can open it with one hand now but still extremely stiff. This proven too Viper they still refuse any type of warranty or compensation. So be aware before you purchase anything from this company
I had so send my knife to Viper Tecnocut in Italy ($83) as proof even though I have a not repairable letter from House of knives, point of purchase. After telling them I would not be able to get the knife back as I live in Canada and the border seize the knives that are one hand opening. It’s been two months and they have stopped replying. So now I’m out over $260,CAD
