CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Viper Orso Titanium is a refined yet rugged folding knife built for high-performance everyday carry. Designed by Jens Ansø and crafted in Maniago, Italy, the Orso blends clean, minimalist Scandinavian aesthetics with the precision and durability expected from top-tier Italian manufacturing.
At the heart of the Orso is a 3.4-inch drop point blade made from premium Böhler M390 stainless steel. With a stonewashed finish and a crowned spine, this blade offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and comfort during use. Its flat grind and moderate belly make it an ideal all-purpose cutter, equally suited for utility, slicing, or more detailed work. The blade is deployed via a flipper tab and rides on a ball-bearing pivot system, delivering fast, smooth one-handed opening every time.
Lockup is handled by an inset stainless steel liner lock set into the titanium frame, offering a solid, secure hold without adding extra bulk. This ensures reliability in use while maintaining the knife’s slim and streamlined profile.
The handle is fully constructed from stonewashed titanium slabs, CNC-milled for a clean, ergonomic shape that feels natural in the hand. The contoured profile and subtle texture offer a secure grip while keeping the weight down. At just 4.3 ounces, the Orso provides a solid in-hand feel without becoming a burden in your pocket.
Closed, the knife measures approximately 4.8 inches, and when open, stretches out to just over 8 inches—plenty of blade and handle real estate for serious cutting tasks. For carry, the Orso is equipped with a tip-up titanium pocket clip designed for right-handed users, and a lanyard hole is integrated into the titanium backspacer for additional versatility.
Whether you're looking for a rugged EDC or a well-finished, collectible folder, the Viper Orso Titanium delivers an outstanding balance of materials, design, and function. With its high-end steel, titanium construction, and smooth action, it's a knife that stands out without shouting. Grab yours at SMKW today!
