Viper Knives Hug 2 Folding Knife Green Canvas Micarta 3.12in Satin Blade V5994CG

The Viper Hug 2 Slipjoint Folding Knife represents a sophisticated embodiment of an everyday carry implement, meticulously blending contemporary craftsmanship with traditional design principles. This non-locking slip joint folder, conceived by the distinguished French knifemaker Sacha Thiel, draws inspiration from his bespoke Birdy model and further incorporates design elements from Jared Oeser's Native series. The outcome is a slender, highly portable knife that achieves an optimal equilibrium between aesthetic form, practical utility, and legal adaptability.

At the core of the Hug 2 is a 3.12-inch Wharncliffe blade crafted from premium Böhler M390 stainless steel. Known for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear durability, M390 ensures reliable performance in daily cutting tasks. The satin finish complements the clean lines of the blade, while a nail nick provides traditional, two-handed opening. Built as a manual slipjoint, the Hug 2 operates without a locking mechanism, which makes it compliant in areas with restrictions on locking blades. Bronze washers support a smooth and steady blade deployment.

The handle is built for understated elegance and a reliable grip. Green canvas Micarta scales offer lightweight durability with a naturally grippy texture, ideal for extended use. These are paired with precision-machined titanium liners and bolsters, adding structural strength and a refined aesthetic. The construction is sleek and slim, measuring just 4.09 inches closed and weighing only 2.64 ounces, making it highly discreet for carry.

Although the Hug 2 does not include a pocket clip, Viper provides a premium brown leather sheath offering secure carry and a touch of classic appeal. The lanyard hole at the handle’s end allows for additional customization or retention options. This attention to functional detail and material quality makes the Hug 2 an ideal choice for users who appreciate traditional styling paired with modern performance.

Designed with minimalist elegance, the Hug 2 stands out as a compact gentleman’s knife suitable for collectors, urban EDC enthusiasts, and anyone who values fine design and practical execution.
