Viper Hug Folding Bolstered Titanium-Dark Matter Red Carbon Fiber Scales 3.125In. Sheepsfoot V5992FCR

The Viper Hug is a finely crafted folding knife designed by Sacha Thiel and built in Italy to deliver performance, precision, and visual impact in a sleek form. This premium slipjoint folder brings modern materials and engineering to a traditional design, offering a dependable cutting tool that's equally at home in the pocket of a craftsman or a collector.

At the heart of the Hug is a 3.125-inch Sheepsfoot blade made from Bohler M390 stainless steel, one of the highest-performing steels in the industry. With a Rockwell hardness of 59–61 HRC, M390 holds a razor-sharp edge through heavy use and resists wear, corrosion, and chipping with ease. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, professional appearance while reducing glare. The Sheepsfoot profile ensures excellent control for slicing, carving, and push cuts, making it an ideal shape for daily tasks.

The slipjoint mechanism offers smooth resistance with solid tension, keeping the blade securely open while maintaining legal carry in areas that restrict locking knives. It opens manually via a long nail nick, keeping the action clean and simple. Bronze washers support the blade for consistent, fluid deployment over time.

The handle combines strength, lightweight design, and premium aesthetics. It features a bolstered titanium frame that’s both tough and corrosion-resistant, paired with Dark Matter Red carbon fiber scales. The carbon fiber is marbled with red and black hues, creating a striking, high-end visual contrast while keeping the knife feather-light at just 2.64 ounces. The liners are also titanium, further reducing weight without sacrificing strength.

Measuring 4.09 inches when closed and 7.24 inches overall, the Hug offers a comfortable grip and balanced feel in hand. The slim profile disappears in your pocket but is always ready when needed. A custom brown leather sheath with belt loop is included, adding both elegance and function to the carry experience.

Designed with intention, built with precision, and finished with world-class materials, the Viper Hug is more than a knife—it’s a refined tool made for those who appreciate quality in every detail. Get yours today at SMKW!
