Fast action and well hardened edge
The Hornet double action OTF (out the front) knife is perfect for those of you who want to carry a full-size knife without the extra bulk.
Like all Viper Tec knives, the Hornet is built for hard use. Each Knife comes with a 3.5-inch 440c blade that have been hand sharpened to an extremely sharp edge ready to cut right out of the box. The smooth ergonomic handles are made of high-quality Zinc Alloy. The button placement along the spine of the handle allows for lighting fast ambidextrous openings right from the operators pocket. The Hornet also allows for right and left-hand users to pocket carry with its stainless steel reversible pocket clip. If that wasn’t enough the Hornet knife also comes equipped with a “battle tested” glass breaker pommel.
The inner workings of this knife don’t disappoint. “Under the hood” you will find all stainless steel precision parts and our proprietary coated high-performance spring. The Hornet comes with our famous lifetime warranty giving you confidence and peace of mind.
All Viper Tec OTF knives are extremely safe to operate and use.

Amazing knife for the money. Quick action and solid weight. Can’t beat this blade. My first of many more to come. I’m impressed.
Wicked blade, wish it was offered in different finishes, a gold version of this would be amazing. I hope I never have to use it, but feel sorry for the guy who makes me. Vipertec has some unique blades I have never seen anywhere else, this and the spartan blade are interesting enough i will definitely be making more purchases as they get ones I want back in stock.
First OTF knife to own, this blade style was bought for a specific reason, knife feels durable, blade is responsive and quick to deploy and retract, a little on the heavy side but that also makes it feel that you are not holding a toy. Will see how it goes for the long run, but so far really enjoying the knife.
I must say that i had bought one of the mini vipertec knifes i loved it but thos think is sick!!! The action is so solid this new blade style is awesome, sharp as hell too! I'll definitely be buying more knifes from Viper Tec knifes! Thanks guys!
SOLID AND SHARP
I am in love with this new blade shape. Although it's more of a sticker than a knife. Though it is very sharp! I'm lovin' it! Great handle, great grip, great button for otf. I love it! This is the second of this same knife that I've bought. The other is the half serrated blade. So I'm totally good for now. This is actually the 7th otf knife I've bought with the Vipertech logo on them. And I will prob buy more too. Since I like them so much.
Good on the shipping best OTF knife I’ve had
This knife is amazing. I absolutely love it. I give it a 9/10. The only reason I don't give it a 10/10 is because I expected it to be sharper that it came/is. I was expecting it to be razor sharp, able to slice a single sheet of paper like a hot knife through butter. But other than that it's my favorite knife I own. It's nicely weighted, balanced, and the quality of the knife is unmatched . Thank you viper tec for this amazing knife!!!
Great looking knife! It's now part of my EDC. Purchased another 2 variants. Thanks vipertec!
I’m a microtech guy, but these are a great knife to add to your collection. And great present for the family.
Initially sent wrong item, but Viper fixed that quickly. I love the look of the knife. I gave it a 4 star only because I am thinking sharpening it will be a PITA as none of my systems vices will hold it and still give me and hones enough room to work. I will say of all my 1,000+ knives in my collection, this one has received more "wows' and "ahhhhs" than all my others combined probably. Something menacing & sinister-looking about a 3.5" sharp needle shaped knife.
Quality website navigation.Easy to checkout with fast shipping.A quick knife that is my favorite brand. I would recommend this company for all your needs that they have to offer.
Love this blade. Could be a little thicker but its not a deal breaker.
Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Nice and heavy knife that I can rely on for my daily needs.
Love it
Knife looks and works great
The knife is overall awesome! The only downsides was that mine came dull but was easily sharpened at home and also some of the black paint came off the very rim of the tip without me doing anything to it. So other than that it’s great
I love all my knives great actions made well and the customer support and service are some of the best I've ever dealt with. I'm a faithful customer for life.
I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and craftsmanship.
Awesome very tactical fast release Made Great 👍
It's a lot more stout than I thought it would be for the price. Came with a case and a holster and came in a foam box. Locks up real tight, shoots out and back in like a lightning strike. Vipertec clearly does not mess around! I, 100% will buy one again, scratch that more than one. Great company! Beyond awesome knives!
As usual quick shipping and delivery and great customer service. Anytime I have a question a concern or a complaint (which I think was only one) they promptly respond or get back to me. The knife is amazing that beautiful satin finish and quick action amazing blade. I honestly thought it was gonna be smaller or funky but I was pleasantly surprised. So way to go VipertTec another amazing knife added to my collection. -Shawn
I'm Italian and I have been with stilettos my entire life and they became really rare to find good ones and I found your company as I was going through cancer and the first night I got I loved it I used it like everyday and then somebody took it so I saved up my money and got another one and all I got to say is man this thing is solid it feels good my hand it's heavy and the point is wicked and the point is awesome All I can say is man good job man keep it up it's good to be able to spend a little bit of money and get something good
This blade is simply one of thee most amazing blades I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. I have collected knives most of my life and have bought hundreds over the years but this little monster hands down takes first place as my favorite. You can tell the very moment you lay your hands on it that it’s not only a hand built blade but a hand built with love one. The craftsmanship is better than OTF blades I’ve paid three times what this cost for. This was my first blade purchase from these guys but after receiving this it for sure won’t be even close to my last one. If the two blades I wanted weren’t currently sold out I would be already expecting them in the mail because I would have placed the order for them moments after this one arrived. Even the cases these guys produce are amazing and extremely amazing quality. It shipped almost immediately and was here before it was even predicted to be delivered. Two days ahead of schedule a matter a fact. They come with a lifetime warranty to ensure they last you a lifetime but it seems like it won’t be necessary. I’ve learned there’s two types of companies in life that provide lifetime warranties.. the ones who sell junk and need to and the ones who sell quality and back their work.. I can tell you without a doubt viper tec is thee shining example of the latter of the two. Thanks Viper Tec for creating this masterpiece it will be by my side for years to come and hopefully soon it will have a few more friends to keep it company (once you get them back in stock that is)! Thanks guys for all you do you’re the best.
The knife was better than I expected, exceeded expectations. It was well built with very good parts the blade was sharpe just like advertised. My favorite knife by far, will definitely be buying at ViperTec again.
Awesome OTF!! I've bought a lot from vipertec and they are Amazing
Awesome knife, great quality!
I'm super excited that I own this knife. The knife is SOLID. It feels like a block of soild metal. I didn't expect it to feel this sturdy, but it most certainly is. When you fire the blade.... Just wow. It ejects (and retracts) with purpose, this in itself confidence building. I have no doubt that this blade will perform if I need it to. Now, is it a $500 knife? No. What does that mean? It means, you will have a blade of "older" steel. For self defense (which is what this knife was made for) I feel no sense of compromise. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this blade, ever. About the blade, it's needle sharp at the tip, and JUST ABOUT razor sharp on the edges. It's almost ridiculous. Another thing it means is that, the "fit and finish" is probably not going to be as good as that $500 knife. But then again, I didn't buy a $500 dollar knife did I? And that is not to take away from how well built and solid this knife is. I am all about making due with what I can afford. This Viper-Tec knife doesn't make me feel like I'm doing without much at all. If you're not the Monopoly man, and you need a serious self defense blade, look no further. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
My favorite knife ,amazing quality .
Another good quality solid knife from vipertek. This is my 2nd and will purchase more in future. So far the 2 I have have both operated flawlessly and were and still are razor sharp.
Quick delivery, notifications along the way. Everything it was advertised to be. Thanks

I am a 55-year-old knife enthusiast. I've owned hundreds of knives in my lifetime. Hands down for the money and even beyond the quality of these knives are unbelievably awesome. They are built Rock solid and made it to last. Love these knives!!
