£169.66This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Italo Orange G10, Satin unique E.D.C. folder aimed at discerning buyers, combines elegant Italian design with the high quality for which the Viper brand is famous. Modern folding knife made with advanced materials and technical solutions, design by knifemaker Fabrizio Silvestrelli.
Design by Fabrizio Silvestrelli fruit of a collaboration with the esteemed Italian knifemaker, president of Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai (CIC), the Italian knife guild. His designs are characterized by rounded blade and handle shapes. Designed by Fabrizio Silvestrelli, the knife exudes Italian style and solid construction.
M390 Microclean® - the highest quality modern tool steel. Manufactured using powder metallurgy technology with extremely high corrosion and abrasion resistance. High-chromium steel with 20.0% chromium (Cr) and 4.0% vanadium (V) doping. Hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC. The steel has undergone vacuum and cryogenic treatments and double tempering. Manufactured at the Böhler-Uddeholm steelworks in Austria.
Blade - Spear Point type with a clearly marked belly emphasizes the elegant Satin finish. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. A ball bearing system aids in the smooth and quick opening of the blade, which can be opened with a Thumb Plate on the back of the blade or with a quick flipper (index-finger flipper). When opened, the flipper forms a mini-guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade. The whole thing is locked with the proven liner lock.
Handle - made of G-10 plastic (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin), milled texture for improved grip confidence. Covers were screwed to a titanium backspacer, which makes such a design virtually indestructible. The right-side deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up). At the end of the handle lanyard hole, a hole for a rope.
