Viper Turn Flamed Poplar Wood Folding 3.22In. M390 Clip Point V5986PI

The Viper Turn Flamed Poplar Wood Folding Knife blends timeless elegance with cutting-edge performance. Designed by Fabrizio Silvestrelli and made in Maniago, Italy, this folder captures the spirit of traditional craftsmanship while embracing modern materials and mechanical refinement. Built for those who appreciate style as much as substance, the Turn is a standout choice for everyday carry, collection, or outdoor utility. At the heart of the knife is a 3.22-inch satin-finished clip point blade made from Bohler M390 stainless steel. Known for its superior edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance, M390 offers a dependable cutting edge that handles tough tasks with minimal maintenance. The blade’s full flat grind, modest recurve, and swedged tip deliver outstanding slicing performance and clean penetration, while the dual thumb studs and thrust bearing pivot ensure smooth, controlled manual deployment. The handle is where this knife truly distinguishes itself. It features beautifully contoured flamed poplar wood scales set against integral titanium bolsters and liners. This combination of warm natural materials and sleek modern metals gives the Turn a refined, premium look and feel. Ergonomics are thoughtfully executed, with a secure four-finger grip and subtle index and pinky finger contours that enhance control without sacrificing comfort.

The knife utilizes Viper’s advanced lockback mechanism, offering the classic reliability of a traditional back lock with a modern twist. Two internal wire springs make the lock easier to operate without compromising on strength, ensuring a solid, confident lockup. While there’s no pocket clip, the Turn carries in style with a high-quality leather sheath, offering a traditional and elegant transport method that complements the knife’s overall design. Weighing in at just over 4 ounces, the Viper Turn strikes a perfect balance between sturdiness and portability. Whether you're slicing through rope in the field or handling everyday cutting jobs, this knife brings beauty, performance, and precision together in one striking package.
