Viper Knives Hug 2 Folding Knife Natural Canvas Micarta 3.125” Satin Blade V5994CN

The Viper Hug 2 Folding Knife is a refined take on the traditional slipjoint, built for those who appreciate precision craftsmanship and modern materials. Designed by renowned French knifemaker Sacha Thiel and crafted in Maniago, Italy, the Hug 2 embodies a balance of form and function that's hard to find in today’s EDC market.

At the heart of the Hug 2 is a 3.125-inch Wharncliffe blade made from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel. This high-performance steel is known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, making it ideal for both daily use and long-term reliability. The blade features a clean satin finish and a nail nick for two-handed opening. It's full flat grind enhances slicing performance, while the sharply pointed tip provides fine control for detail work.

Built on a slipjoint mechanism with bronze washers, the Hug 2 offers smooth blade action without a locking system. This makes it a solid option in regions where locking knives face legal restrictions. The two-handed operation is deliberate and controlled, delivering both safety and compliance.

The handle construction is equally impressive. Natural canvas Micarta scales provide a textured, sure grip even in wet conditions, while two integral titanium bolsters and liners offer structural strength without unnecessary weight. The knife’s slim profile and 4.1-inch closed length make it easy to pocket, and at just 2.64 ounces, it carries light but feels solid in hand.

Every detail in the Hug 2 reflects thoughtful design. From the precision-machined bolsters to the smooth action of the blade, it's clear this knife is built for users who demand both quality and character. Whether you're an enthusiast looking to add a standout piece to your collection or someone seeking a reliable everyday tool, the Hug 2 delivers on both fronts.

Included with the knife is a brown leather sheath, adding a classic touch to its modern styling and offering protection during carry.
