Viper Knives

Viper sits in Maniago in northern Italy and builds knives that feel more like objects than tools. Titanium, carbon fibre, olive wood, all finished to a level you notice the moment you pick one up.

Most of the range is folders, with designers such as Tommaso Rumici and Fabrizio Silvestrelli behind the shapes. If you want Italian craft without the tactical look, start here.
