The Viper Hug 2 Folding Knife is a high-end slipjoint crafted for those who demand a blend of precision, reliability, and style in their everyday carry. Designed by renowned French knifemaker Sacha Thiel and built in Maniago, Italy, by Viper Knives, the Hug 2 reflects a dedication to craftsmanship and performance. With clean lines, premium materials, and a legally compliant non-locking mechanism, this knife is ideal for urban carry, travel, or collectors who appreciate understated excellence.

At the heart of the Hug 2 is a 3.125-inch Wharncliffe blade made from Bohler M390 stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, M390 is a top-tier steel used in some of the finest production knives on the market. The blade has a satin finish and features a traditional nail nick for two-handed opening. Its Wharncliffe profile delivers a fine point for detailed work, while the full flat grind ensures smooth slicing and cutting performance.

The knife operates on a slipjoint system with bronze washers, offering a controlled, smooth action without the use of a locking mechanism. This setup appeals to users in regions with restrictions on locking knives while still delivering dependable functionality. The handle features red G-10 scales for a secure, textured grip, matched with 2 integral titanium bolsters and liners that enhance structural integrity without adding unnecessary weight. Closed, the Hug 2 measures 4.1 inches and weighs a modest 2.64 ounces, making it easy to carry without bulk.

A brown leather carry sheath is included, adding a touch of traditional style and protection when storing or transporting the knife. Every detail of the Hug 2 shows careful thought—from the slim silhouette to the refined materials—resulting in a slipjoint that feels just as capable as it looks.

Whether you're a dedicated EDC user or a knife enthusiast who values subtle sophistication, the Viper Hug 2 delivers performance without compromise. Its non-locking design, premium steel, and durable handle construction make it a standout option in the modern slipjoint category.
