SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Viper Knives Britola folding knife is a refined yet rugged tool built for those who value craftsmanship and reliability in their everyday carry. Designed and made in Italy, the Britola pairs timeless materials with dependable function, offering a blend of classic styling and modern utility. Whether you're navigating daily tasks or adding to a curated collection, this knife delivers a lasting impression of understated elegance.
At the core of the Britola is a 3.87-inch clip point blade crafted from 440A stainless steel. Known for its corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, 440A strikes a practical balance between toughness and sharpenability. The satin finish adds a clean, low-glare look, while the clip point shape provides a sharp, controllable tip—ideal for precision cutting and piercing. Measuring 0.7 inches in thickness, the blade offers enough substance for durability without unnecessary bulk.
Opening the blade is done manually via a nail nick, keeping with the knife’s traditional slip joint mechanism. This non-locking design provides smooth operation and legal carry in more restrictive regions, while still offering solid retention for typical utility tasks. The slip joint tension is well-tuned, offering confidence in use without sacrificing ease of closure.
The handle is where the Britola truly stands out. Crafted from natural Cocobolo wood, each piece displays unique grain patterns and rich, warm tones that deepen with age and handling. The contoured scales are secured with nickel silver pins, lending a classic aesthetic that’s both durable and eye-catching. At 4.98 inches closed and weighing only 2.29 ounces, this knife sits comfortably in the hand and pocket, offering lightweight performance without compromising on feel.
Each Viper Britola comes with a sleek black leather sheath, offering convenient protection and carry while maintaining the knife’s elegant profile. With an overall length of 8.75 inches when open, it bridges the gap between compact portability and full-function cutting ability.
