Viper Fortis Framelock Folding Knife Stonewash M390/Green G-10

The Viper Knives Vox Fortis Flipper is a folding knife that blends Italian precision with Jens Anso’s unmistakable Vox design language. Clean lines, purposeful geometry, and a solid feel in hand give this knife a confident presence without unnecessary excess. It’s built for users who appreciate refined engineering but still expect their gear to work hard when it’s called upon.

The blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390 stainless steel, a steel trusted for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall balance of performance. Finished in a rugged stonewash, the blade shrugs off glare and hides the wear that comes from real-world use. The blade shape delivers strong tip control with enough cutting edge to handle daily tasks, from utility work to more demanding cutting jobs, while maintaining a controlled, predictable feel.

Deployment is fast and smooth thanks to the flipper tab and precision pivot system, snapping the blade into action with authority. Lockup is handled by a robust linerlock that engages securely and inspires confidence every time the blade is opened. This is a knife that feels deliberate in its action, with no wasted motion or gimmicks.

The handle scales are green canvas Micarta, contoured to fill the hand comfortably while maintaining a slim, pocket-friendly profile. Micarta provides excellent grip, even in less-than-ideal conditions, and develops character over time as it’s carried and used. The overall ergonomics strike a balance between comfort and control, making extended use feel natural rather than fatiguing. A sturdy pocket clip keeps the knife positioned for reliable everyday carry.
