Maniago Quality
A number of years ago, top quality cutlers and suppliers of knife parts in Italy, organized a cutlers' consortium of fifty or so member companies to guarantee the production of top quality cutting tools that will compare favorably to most current handmade knives. The Viper Evolution's hammered Titanium bolsters set against ram's horn scales, attention to detail on the backspring (open it and notice the fit of the back of the blade to the backspring) and subtlety in design creates a knife you will find yourself fondling long after you would have laid most knives down. The 3" drop point blade is made of Bohler N690 Co at 57-59 Rc. The titanium liners combined with titanium bolsters and superb engineering have created a folder that is extremely lightweight for its size. The reverse side is marked with the Viper Quality logo. Only those manufacturers certified by the Maniago cutlers' consortium may use this mark. Measures 4-1/4" closed and weighs 3.5 oz. Includes a black leather pouch. Made in Maniago, Italy.

Companies in Maniago who are committed to top quality knife production are authorized to use the mark "Maniago Quality" which indicates to the customer that you can depend on the quality of materials and workmanship. From the beginning, Viper® has been involved in the idea of the mark and the continuation of the level of quality for which Maniago has been know for generations. Knives made by Viper will bear the rigors of everyday use with ease and the craftsmanship, use of quality blade steels and beautiful handle materials makes a Viper knife a respectable addition to any collection.
The Viper Evolution was Perfect! Great lines, sits well in the handle, great functionality, terrific value. Holds it own against a hand made knife. I have also bought several of your Fox Champagne Sabers; great gifts! They were used at weddings creating great "Wow!" moments. Geoffrey F. Glastonbury, CT
