Great knife, love the Karambit design as an OTF!
Love it! Has worked perfect since day one.
Love this knife
Amazing, I love the weight and the double action is quick and without fail
Had to wait a while for it to show up and lost first one in transit but they were able to resend it quickly and overall love the knife
It’s a great KARAMBIT But it’s black coating peels of in less then month. This needs to be addressed. I’ve had was cheaper knives that the coating held up much better. Just being honest here.
Bad ass knife. Probably the best for killing and slicing. Kinda heavy compared to others
Really smooth, high quality, razor sharp, and a much better price than other big brand Karambits. I love it a lot.
Great communication and love the knife
Great knife! Worth every penny!
This knife has surpassed every expectation i had! Absolutely became a dominant addition to my EDC gear. Make no mistake this is a self defense tool and not a knife that you will be wanting to use to break down cardboard boxes or something similar, it's also not suited to be just a letter opener, this knife deserves to be in your pocket, the stealth factor is amazing as well, barely visible until your ready for it to be seen. If you've been thinking about picking this one up, do yourself a favor and grab one when it's in stock! You won't be disappointed!
This karambit fits my hand perfect! Most fixed blade karambits never fit my big hands.
This is much more than just a knife, it’s a beautiful piece of art that is made with superb craftsmanship and precision that produced a fully functional everyday carry piece. I’m considering ordering a 2nd piece just to put on display as well because it also deserves to be seen by everyone, including non-knife enthusiasts. Because I’m sure even they will have to admire its craftsmanship and unique design. It was definitely worth the wait. If you’re looking for something a lil different than usual and you don’t have 1 yet, jump on this piece because you will NOT be disappointed! It’s fast, smooth and the finger loop makes it fun to use it to do trick pulls and openings.
Awesoooooimmmmmeeee
Awesome knife great style and amazing design would 100% recommend!
Really wish the black coating held up better. Have had 3 days and already chipped.
Excellent knife, it did come rather dull from the factory but that didn't take long to fix. I've only had mine for about a week now, but it's a great daily carry.
Perfect product, great action and looks, comfortable to hold and the action is fast and smooth..
Another excellent buy from VT. I honestly wasn't sure if the carbon fiber inlays were going to be an after thought, they're actually one of the coolest parts of the knife! The action is fantastic. RECOMMEND!
Extremely well made and smooth. I’m very pleased with it. This is my third Viper-Tec, all well made.
Like the way it feels. Good action, non- scaring clip. Does not look like a regular knife which adds to its stealth. Blade did not come that sharp.
I love my knife It’s heavy I like the weight It feels good in my hand
This is my first automatic karambit and I love it. The knife is solid has good weight and the internal mechanics are well built. A lot of knife for the price.
Love the knife so far, good weight and balance and just looks good !,,
Excellent quality. Easy to use with an under hand grip. This is my new favorite karambit. Another awesome otf to add to the collection.
Got this on sale and I love it! Big fan of OTF and karambits so this is ideal for me. Shipping was quick and easy, no complaints
Awesome OTF knife very sharp, the only reason why I’m giving it a 4/5 is because the paint from the switch started rubbing off from when I first started using it
Great experience every time I buy from Viper Tec, good quality auto knives.
I like the look and the action on the knife.
Great shipping
Excellent grip, sturdy construction all around great tactical knife.
Slick ease of deployment. Perfect for severing hard to reach areas. And how they figured out I was left handed and sent me a left handed awesome knife… we may never know
My second otf viper tech, love both of them. Great build quality for the price!
Great knife wanted something sleek and not obvious and easily deployable and it’s perfect.
Best otk blade out there. About 1 pound of pressure on the switch button to extend and 1.2 to retract. That has to be lined up correctly to produce the blade. The coating is smooth and rounded slightly around the release switch with light recoil so when trying to release or return the blade to the handle fingers aren't pinched. The blade opens and retracts very fast. The clakking sound and the pop of the internal recoil in the hand is good. The button has to be pressed properly to open the blade so it won't accidentally open by merely handling or dropping it. Open and close time with the switch button is about 3 or so per second. The blade opens quickly with the button and with the curve away from the hand. Trying to pop out the blade from a handed position that could potentially cut the user is difficult. A brilliant safety measure. After hundreds of tests on this item it still works perfectly. There are regulations concerning owning this item. All state, local and federal laws apply.
One of my favorite knives just wish you could swich the belt clip to the other side but I'm left handed
Good knife. Dull on arrival which was fine but the belt clip is on the wrong side of you draw right handed. Unfortunately that clip was useless for me.
Great knife, especially for the price. Feels solid and the action is smooth in and out. Highly recommend! Customer service was great plus fast shipping. Excellent experience!
Overall it’s a great knife. I like how quickly it can open and close. The weight feels comfortable in the hands as well. My only gripe is I was it was a little sharper. It can scratch off dead skin but not shave hair out of the box. The carry case it comes with is great and seems durable.
