Viper Rhino1 Carbon Fiber
New version of the Rhino with steel upgrade and new blade grindFabrizio Silvestrelli design Very large and sturdy knife with a backlock Elmax steel blade with stonewashed finishBruno Brutalo!
This grace....these almost fragile lines....oh, whoops....wrong knife.
The Rhino1 is about the gnarliest breaker we've had in our hands in a long time. What a piece! Here are some hard facts: 25.3cm total length. 250gr (that's a quarter kilo!!!). 4mm Elmax steel. A backlock, with an ultra-slick "CLACK". A compound grind, which together with the pronounced "horn" at the front of the tip, already looks very striking. Clearly, the Rhino1 is NOT an ultra-versatile, lightweight EDC knife. Here comes something for lovers of the very heavy fraction! This knife is available with handles made of micarta, carbonfiber or santo wood.

Viper Katla Canvas Micarta Green
Solid EDC knife with pocket clip
Jesper-Voxnaes-Design
micarta handle and M390 blade
Hot like a volcano
The Viper Katla is not only the latest coup of Jesper Voxnaes and Viper Technocut but also the name of one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland. The design of the knife leaves no doubt: here it goes hyper-modern to the point.
The handle is equipped with micarta scales, finished with a matte stonewash. Underneath the scales are steel liners, which also provide the liner lock. This locks the knife cleanly when open and can of course be easily operated with one hand. The blade, which runs on ball bearings, is opened via the small flipper tab that protrudes over the hilt or via the two thumb studs.
The blade is a kind of Spanto shape, as it became world famous through the knives of Rick Hinderer. Here, the shape of a Spearpoint blade is combined with the geometry of a Tanto tip. This makes for a sweeping look, but provides uncanny stability in the front area of the blade. This means that the Katla can definitely be used to work harder. The Böhler M390 blade steel used rounds off the picture perfectly thanks to its outstanding performance.

The daily companion
With the model Dan, Viper caused quite a stir when the knife was released in spring 2015. After all, we are dealing with an extraordinary design work by Tommaso Rumici, who is no stranger to the knife world.
The goal of the Dan was to create a knife that can really always and everywhere with you. Not too big, but not too small either - after all, it should be able to take on as many cutting tasks as possible. It was also clear with this goal that due to the legal situation in many European countries a lock would be omitted. For this reason, the Dan was designed so that it can be opened effortlessly with one hand. There are two springs embedded in the handle scales, which (similar to the Zero Tolerance 0230, for example) each press on the blade root with a detent ball and engage there. As a result, the knife can be easily operated one-handed thanks to the small protrusion at the rear end of the blade and no strong back spring is needed. The holding force of the two side springs allows for safe work and the 90-degree stop provides additional protection against accidental closing of the blade.
This version is the variant of the green G10
DAN 1
This is the version with a droppoint blade. Due to the bulbous shape and the slightly upward offset tip, this variant is particularly suitable for cutting on a base.
Tommaso Rumici has undoubtedly succeeded with the DAN a great hit. The modern design and the versatility of the knife convince all along the line. By the way, the name of the model stands as an abbreviation for Daily Assorted Needs. Originally, the name was intended to be E.D.C. (Every Day Carry) was intended. But since shortly before the IWA (where the knife was presented) Rumici's good friend Danilo Liboi died and the blades were not yet labeled at that time, he changed the name to DAN in his honor without further ado.
