SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Viper Berus 2 DCN Fixed Blade Knife is a masterclass in compact precision and rugged reliability. Crafted in Maniago, Italy—an area celebrated for its rich tradition of bladesmithing—this knife reflects the highest standards of Italian craftsmanship combined with modern innovation. Designed for users who require a high-performance tool without unnecessary bulk, the Berus 2 delivers exceptional cutting power and durability in a minimalist design.
Measuring just 6 inches overall, the Berus 2 proves that size doesn’t dictate capability. Its 2.5-inch sheepsfoot blade is forged from Bohler M390 stainless steel, a premium steel known for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and strength. The black PVD coating enhances durability and provides a sleek, tactical appearance, while the flat grind delivers precise slicing and controlled cuts. The sheepsfoot blade profile is ideal for tasks demanding accuracy and safety, making it a versatile choice for both fieldwork and everyday tasks.
The handle features natural canvas Micarta scales that offer a warm, secure grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. This material is favored for its toughness and tactile texture, giving you confidence during extended use. A large lanyard hole is integrated for added versatility, allowing attachment of paracord or retention cords to suit your carry preferences. Weighing only 3.35 ounces, the Berus 2 is lightweight enough to go unnoticed during long outings but ready to perform when you need it.
The knife comes with a custom-molded Kydex sheath designed for secure retention and rapid deployment. Whether worn on a belt, strapped to gear, or carried discreetly in a pocket, the sheath offers flexible carry options without compromising safety or accessibility.
The Berus series draws inspiration from the Vipera berus, or European adder—a compact and highly effective predator. This knife embodies the same qualities: small size, swift precision, and reliable performance. It’s built for professionals who demand excellence and enthusiasts who appreciate expert craftsmanship and modern materials.
Whether you’re after a dependable everyday carry, a tactical backup, or a finely made collectible, the Viper Berus 2 DCN stands out as a compact powerhouse. Its combination of Böhler M390 steel, black PVD finish, and canvas Micarta handle delivers a balanced, durable, and stylish tool you can trust.
