I love the silhouette of the Mirror 1. The “thumb choil” is a small touch, but gives it such a unique flavor.

Good to see Igor and his new knives!

Igor! I like the mirror 1 best as it’s unique and that’s always a good conversation starter!

Igor's Mirror 1 looks fantastic. Priced fairly, I definitely am picking a pair.

Yes! The Mirror1 looks perfect! I'll take it in olive wood.

Nice looking. I liked a few of them, but the Mirror, i love. Looks like an easy knife to get cut on, just by looking at the blade. Lol

Happy to see a cross bar lock. Hopefully Viper will use it on more models.

One of the best makers in terms of fit and finish and amazing designers…

I like the mirror 2 totally different and cool

Yeah. I prefer asymmetrical blades for both visual and tactile identification of the blade edge. I've cut myself on spear point knives before by pulling it out and pressed my thumb directly into the blade side thinking it was the spine side.

Igor's back!

Looking like some nice knives. That ranger looked nice. I wish they stuck with a pm steel, or go hc.

That oniro look awesome I wish one

Viper has some great knives. I love my Hug.

Yes indeed the brown burlap micarta is the best!

I really wish that they would focus on the quality of the heat treat. Especially on these Italian made Magnacut blades. The internet is rife with reports of the Italian manufacturers running their steels too soft. Magnacut at 89-90 HRC is a completely different animal than Magnacut at 92-93 HRC.

Hey DCA, I have a request from your KnifeCenter #84 post. In the video you showed the CJRB Silax, I LOVE the knife but hate that it's made in china. Do you or "anyone" know of a similar blade that is "Not Made In China" Thanks !!

When can we expect them on your site and prices😊 as always great reporting and reviews

Wait, I'm confused... are there two Viper knife companies? I just bought an OTF Viper knife from VIPER knives that was made in China. Can someone out there please answer this if you know? Thanks

This is Viper from Italy being shown in the video. Yours is, uh, Viper from, eh, China. And you probably mean Viper-Tec anyway… You could easily look at their logo here and yours and readily tell the difference.

Ya another crossbar lock that you can’t flip the clip on…cmon even benchmade makes most of their stuff ambi. Cold steel uses clips that follow the contour of the handle and they just include an extra clip 🤷🏻‍♂️ if you don’t want to add the cost in for the people who don’t care about it offer it as a purchasable option but put a filler in there or something so I can have it on the left. Even if your not a lefty lots of people carry 2 knives and being able to carry an otherwise ambi knife the correct way in the left pocket is still a plus.

Even more opportunities to cut your fingers with a liner lock lock. Gesh.

Viper needs to calm down with the branding and remove the knife name altogether. Italian makers in general need to thin up their geometry a bit too. There are several knives I've turned away from buying for these reasons.
