Designed by Fabrizio Silvestrelli, the Viper Larius is a futuristic looking liner lock flipper with lots of geometric CNC milling and premium materials like Bohler's M390. As usual, the Larius has the exceptional build quality we have come to associate with Italian manufacturer Viper Tecnocut. The blade features a compound ground, harpoon profile that delivers serious performance and fits with the modern look. The knife comes in a variety of handle materials to fit your own personal style and fits well in any E.D.C. rotation.

The Blade: 3 and 1/3 inches of razor sharp M390 comes in a Stonewashed finish harpoon profile that deploys lightening quick on a thrust bearing pivot. The blade is compound ground with a more robust thickness at the tip for enhanced strength while delivering the slicing performance of a full flat grind on the rest of the blade. A crowned spine and fine jimping show the level of quality delivered in the Larius.
The Handle: The handles are made from stonewashed, CNC milled titanium that feels great in the hand even with the futuristic look. An inset stainless steel liner gives solid lock up and solid titanium backspacer is CNC machined and anodized for a pop of color which matches the pivot collars. The knife carries via a tip-up, right-hand only milled titanium pocket clip which is CNC machined and anodized to match the backspacer and pivot collars. A lanyard pin in the backspacer allows for inline attachment of a lanyard.
