Nice knife. Pretty sturdy. Blade misses on the spring ejection occasionally, but will catch with a flick of the wrist.
Dave J.
It's a nice knife works well could be a little sharper but overall I'd give it a 10.
Robert R.

Demetrio M.
Solid blade well made
Brooke Z.
This knife is Awesome
Very nice and smooth
Christopher R.
The blade on this knife is my favorite blade in my entire collection! Very unique!
If they ever shave 40% off the handle’s size & weight then this could be a $1000 knife!!!!
By the way I got 2 of them & glad I did cause putting one in each boot made me 10ft tall !!!
Josiah K.
Looks amazing and feels sturdy. Pro tip: don’t underestimate how sharp the tip is, accidentally stabbed my finger touching the point when I first opened it
Eric S.
Good knife. Not ideal for EDC but a great surprise for anyone attempting anything shady.
William K.
Great experience this time.love the knife and shipping was very fast.can’t complain
Michael F.
I've been wanting a hornet blade for about a year and was finally able to grab one. I knew what to expect as I already own a Black Ghost knife, except with a tanto blade. Once again I found it to be sharp, quick, solid, doesn't rattle and impresses friends lol thank you Viper Tec team.
Timothy B.
I own three otf’s from Viper Tech !!
They are great value and outstanding mechanics !
William K.
Works and looks great for a pig stabber.the only improvements I can see is with customer service.they don’t return emails and when you call the provided number the voicemail is full so you can’t leave a message.took almost a month to get my order.I had to actually contact their sister company (blade city)to get any results
William K.
Great knife for self defense.it took a long time to receive and I will only give customer service one star.won’t reply back to emails and the provided phone numbers voicemail is full so you can’t leave a message.it was a horrible experience but a good knife
Devon S.
They had trouble at first with having the right color at first but after a couple emails found a solution as well as gave me the blade I had sctualy wanted but was listed as sold out AND better shipping. They where very responsive and helpfull. Oh and the knife is amazing too lol
David G.
The knives ordered are excellent and much nicer than I expected. They are truly well made and very usable for any and all uses. Very sharp blades and the action OTF is excellent and very sturdy. I will purchase again and would encourage everyone to give them a try. You won't be sorry that you did. David Green
James D.
Great knife, very durable and super sharp! I sure as hell wouldn’t want to get stuck with it!
Timothy B.
Absolutely love this blade. Been waiting and waiting for it to be in stock. They texted me it’s available and I bought it immediately. Last time it sold out and they texted me but I waited a few hours and was already sold out. I suggest anyone wanting this blade to order immediately when its in stock. My favorite Viper OTF and I have 7 of them.
Seth B.
I love the action, smooth as hell
Michael S.
Great material, quick action push button sharp knife and love the case
Anthony M.
I have purchased a few items from viper tec but this 1 by far is my favorite to date. It feels great in my hand and has a gorgeous point on a nice sharp blade. Excellent quality craftsmanship fellas I love it.
Oz T.
Absolutely love it!! Like something out of assassins creed!
John J P.
I've been shopping an OTF for awhile now. I've an edged weapon for every-occassion.
Neck-4inch, full-tang 4inch in a belt scabbard, and now an OTF of high-quality, American-made, and not costing over 100USD. The blade is sharp and will penetrate easily. It has a fine-honed edge, SO DON'T run your finger down it. The point is a needle. With that being said; this is not a 'utility-knife'. None of my knives are. This is a smooth operating self-defense weapon to be used in an emergency for protection. That's the type of tool this is.
The blade and handle are tight, and there's very little-perceptable tolerance. The trigger-action is such that the required pressure, either firing or retrieving the blade, is the saftey which makes this weapon safe to carry 'deep-pocket in dress-pants, or jeans with shirt-tuck. This weapon is a no-brainer for the price. Grip is exotic and slightly-tacky in the hand. It's a 'good-thing'! BUY IT. Jack Powers III
Leland J.
All of the Viper Tec OTC knives are impressive and practical. If something needs to be trimmed, poof, the blade pops out, the job gets done in seconds, and poof again when the blade pops back in. I find the more exotic the knives look, like the hornet, they tend to need a very carful sharpening, which is a good thing due to the dreaded shape of the blade.
Albert H.
They're always the first knife to sell out, usually within minutes of a new run being introduced. The Ghost. Now that's a serious automatic knife. Finally got me one, I'm like a little kid at Christmas. The photos really don't do it a lot of justice. What a big sinister looking blade. How often can you describe something as being both beautiful and wicked looking at the same time. That's the Ghost. Sweet, and she's mine.
Matt
The knife has a good weight to it and seems very well built. I have to question their hand-sharpened claim though, as the knife arrived dull enough that it struggled to cut the brown paper that came with it as packing material. However, I also have to give credit as the point, which is the most important part of this particular knife, is sharper than a needle.
Louis C.
Love this knife made great
Deb C.
All of my knifes and baton comes from Viper Tech. I love my weapons. They are reliable and the cost is reasonable. Thank you Viper Tech.
Heshima R.
I am absolutely at a loss for proper words with this one. I own several ViperTec OTF and this one is by far my favorite. It is by no means a work knife. This little demon screams self defense. This blade is a work of art and is surgically sharp with a tip that is a literal needle point.
Jacob M.
this is the most psyco looking piece of metal ive ever seen in my life. i love it.
Chris G.
Ahhhhhmazing‼️‼️‼️
Very Fast.
Very Clean.
Very Dependable.
Jack F.
I have had the Ghost Tanto for over a year now and just got the Ghost Hornet. Action is smooth and if you don't abuse the blades(not utility knifes), they are very reliable. I broke something in the Tanto so I will be way more careful with the hornet. Had a mix up on my first order that was handled as quickly as possible and very professionally. This 2nd order went very smooth and I received my order with in a week with the upgraded shipping option. Won't be my last order from Viper Tec.
Grant H.
A fantastic weapon here; vipertec doesn't disappoint in their quality. The blade is unique and something which I have not seen on an otf. For people worrying about blade play, I am here as solace. This knife barely has any; it's within a millimeter and is required as part of an otf design. That being said, this knife can be shaken around, grabbed, and used to cut things without any rattling or slipping. It does not disappoint in any way for the price and is pretty much what a Benchmade is like without paying half a thousand dollars. It's also larger than what the images on the website portray it as. At 9 inches in total length, it essentially is a dagger, and the motion of deployment is very intimidating. I have never used a knife in a self-defense situation, but this thing I could see scaring someone off given the bizarreness of it. Make sure you occasionally oil the mechanism, and it should last years.
Gary K.
This blade is badass!!!
Outstanding quality!!!
James B.
This is a very well built knife. The blade play is so small (within a millimeter) that shaking the knife around produces no noise. I cannot pull the blade and feel any give either. There is also no rattling noise when it is retracted which is a sign of a crap double action. Its just like benchmades that I have handled and the spring always responds with a authoritative click. Design quality like that shows just how acutely aware vipertec is of perfection. Feels like a 350+ dollar knife, and something I will show off. Just because microtech and benchmade have a larger share in the market doesn't make them king of producing quality otfs and charging an arm and a leg. For people new to this site, I suggest starting with this one. Vipertec has amazing prices on these knifes and I hope they continue to produce amazing otf variations.
Jeff D.
The ViperTec knives seems to be solidly built as my first impression. This Black Ghost is very cool and intimidating. I know sometimes we have to wait longer than usual to receive our orders but remember ViperTec hand makes and performs testing before they let the Knives leave their possession. Don’t forget that ViperTec Knives have a lifetime guarantee. I like it when the company that sells their products has the BALLs to stand behind them. That tells me that ViperTec is a solid, trustworthy company.
Willard O.
All my friends want one
Adolfo M.
Awesome one more for my collection.
Casey M.
Extremely well built and a very solid and dependable knife. Has some weight to it and I absolutely love it! Couldn’t resist purchasing the sheath for it as well. Amazing combination if you’re able to get both while they’re available.
Roy S.
Solidly made and pointy as hell.
Deen L.
Quality and Durability
Presentation
I use mine everything and l like them enough to give them as presents to my brothers .
Richard D.
It is extremely Sharp and fast, handle s very well.
Excellent quality inside and out.
Gary M.
I like the one I bought so I bought another one how good is that ?
James H.
It's as badass as it looks. Quality made. Arrived timely.
Angel N.
I was skeptical about this brand of knives and I've been proved wrong! It is awesome. I ordered the Hornet and it has a very nice weight and snap when opening and closing plus great feel in the hand.
I hope that their lifetime warranty will back up the knife but I don't believe I'll be claiming anything anytime soon. Looks and feels like Quality!
James H.
Love the shape of this blade. It was worth the wait for it to come back in stock. The action works great, quality made.
Jeffrey M.
Live this blade. It’s a little heavy, but for me that’s a plus. Sharp? Yes. Perfect size for EDC and it’ requires just a little more force to open, ensuring that it won’t open in my pocket.
b14ckr41n
Let me start by saying I've been happy with every Viper-Tech brand knife I have bought. But this is the best one yet. The action on this knife is what I imagine a Benchmade feels like, Perfect! The blade is nice and tight and sharp as hell. Another great Viper-Tech knife!
John P.
I've been eying this for a while now, finally got it and absolutely the most original otf that I own. Great quality good weight and just the right size, couldn't be happier, thanks viper tec for the quality products!:i_love_you_hand_sign:
Jaime W.
I got mine less than a week after placing my order so, I dunno why others are not satisfied with the wait time. Wait, now that I have my new favoriteist thing I own, I'd begin to get grumpy after 14 days or so, I suppose. Or probably not, but all I can say about this fine instrument is it's pretty damn chingon, brothers and sisters. Rigoddamndiculously chingon... ஓ
Mearle L.
My knife automatic did not work when I received it, easy fix with Viper-tec knives. Have blade retracted, push open button and hold in the open position, snap your wrist down forcing the knife open, let go of the button. Fixed...
Kelly N.
This is the COOLEST knife I have purchased from Vipertec. Well constructed with GREAT action. I would purchase again.
Richard R.
I love this knife perfectly sized has a very sharp point. Just what I was looking for in a Out The Front Knife.
John K.
As badass as an OTF can be!
Raymond G.
Excellent knife
Tom R.
This is a purpose built knife. Very nice. I really like the texture of your OTF handle, fantastic grip. Very nice action :+1: good job :+1:
Jason V.
Great service, quick delivery, and I really love the Hornet.
Kevin M.
This was my first Viper Tec brand purchase. I was amazed by the weight, quality, and function of this blade. I have purchased other blades in this price range, but not her has compared to the quality of this knife. This will not be the last blade I purchase for Viper Tec.... Cheers!
Richard W.
Somewhat larger than I initially imagined but not too obtrusive. Perfect size for self defense needs, just a little too long for everyday carry. Blade is sturdy and very well sharpened.
Scott B.
This knife is really nice. The picture doesn’t give it justice. Great product
Michael L.
This is my first OTF knife and I love it.
Joseph C.
Dagger feels great, looks great. Overall recommend. Just make sure to check the tightness of the screws when you get it. As with all automatics, and knives under pressure.
Michael S.
Very nice I would recommend for anybody who wants quick self defense
George G.
Came on time. Exactly what I expected. Top quality. Worth the price
Center M.
Was very impressed at how well built this knife is. Solid no slop here. Nice strong spring. The blade is made for one thing and the edges are still razor sharp even though it's a dagger. Give this knife TWO thumbs up .
Leo A.
Different I like it. I bought it for my birthday
Angela M.
I love this knife, it has a great weight, easy uses switch and action and an intimidating blade
Alan K.
This is a very well built OTF. Love the soft touch handle material. Will buy more
Thomas L.
Great little blade.
Robert B.
Great knife, very fast release!
Debbie C.
I really like the quality and the price :ok_hand:. Viper Tech is awesome. Thank you.
James C.
Looks better in person than the photos. And the point is as perfect as I thought it would be
Eugene K.
I bought this knife after seeing an ad for the company. The way they opened was unique. When I got the knife the first thing I noticed was it’s weight. I own over 100 knives, most of them made by “Cold Steel” company, so I know a well made knife. It was tight, solid and had a great heft to it. Then I tried the opening and retractor. It works great, especially the retractor. Great knife!!! I’m looking forward to trying a few other blades they sell.
Craig H.
Awesome knife. Sharp, sleek, and sharp out of the box. I love it
John N.
Very nice. Has good weight to it. This is a weapon, not a screwdriver. Treat it accordingly and it'll serve you well.
Andrew B.
Love the blade shape and durability
Shane C.
I like the knife, I like it a lot. I had my doubts ordering from the site because you never know what you’re going to get. The knife is beautiful, it has weight to it and it’s good quality. The knife is a definitely a “Wow” knife. I’m positive I’ll Oder again from Viper.
Robert R.
As always, top quality for a great price!
Brian P.
Once I saw the Hornet I had to add it to my growing collection of otf knives. It arrived quickly and in great condition. I am really impressed with the quality of this knife, the smoothness of the action, and the tight lockup that left zero bladeplay! This convinced me to order my second ViperTech knife (Reaper) just a week later! I also had a question which I asked via email which was promptly answered with the response I was hoping for! Yeah, customer service! After I receive this one I have decided I will order the "Ghost" to add to my collection! I hope to add many more Vipertec knives to my collection, and will since the customer service department actually responded with courtesy instead of ignoring me like many other companies (that I will no longer do business with) have done all too often. I AM A VIPERTEC FAN !!!
Roger K.
This knife's capability more than exceeds my expectations. The toothpick blade is what attracted me, I have no reason to believe the other knives would not have the same capability and workmanship.!
Joshua W.
This is a great knife. Very sharp and very pointy.
Mark K.
I wasn't going to buy anymore OTF because I have a bunch already but when I saw this one I had to have it, now it is my favorite. This is a great knife love it
Mark K the (57 Dodge guy )
