Viper Knives Hug Folding Knife Natural Canvas Micarta 3.125in Satin Blade V5992CN

The Viper Knives Hug Folding Knife is a finely crafted slipjoint folder designed by renowned French knifemaker Sacha Thiel. Drawing from his Birdy model, Thiel brings a unique blend of traditional knife aesthetics and modern material performance. This compact EDC knife is a dependable tool for anyone who values precision engineering and understated elegance in their gear.

At the heart of the Hug is a 3.125-inch Wharncliffe blade made from premium Böhler M390 stainless steel. Known for its top-tier edge retention and corrosion resistance, this steel is a favorite among custom knife makers and enthusiasts alike. The blade features a clean satin finish and a full flat grind, giving it excellent slicing capability across a wide range of daily cutting tasks. A nail nick provides classic two-handed blade deployment, making it a practical choice in areas where locking knives are restricted.

The Hug’s handle showcases a durable natural canvas micarta, known for its textured grip and evolving character as it develops a patina over time. Titanium bolsters and liners add strength without unnecessary weight, keeping the knife both sleek and robust. The handle’s profile and materials strike a careful balance between grip security and everyday carry comfort, with a closed length of 4.1 inches and a feather-light weight of just 2.64 ounces.

Its slipjoint mechanism operates smoothly thanks to precision bronze washers, offering a confident open-and-close action without the use of a lock. This traditional approach adds to the Hug’s legality in jurisdictions with knife restrictions, while still providing solid utility for urban and field use.

Every detail of the Hug reflects Viper Knives’ dedication to quality and Sacha Thiel’s commitment to refined design. Whether you’re opening packages, slicing food, or performing light utility work, this knife handles it all with quiet efficiency. It also includes a brown leather sheath, elevating both the presentation and daily carry experience.

The Viper Hug is more than a knife—it’s a statement of craftsmanship, simplicity, and function wrapped into a pocket-friendly package.
