Viper has a new folder out now, designed by Denis Simonutti. It’s called the Oniro, and it’s been built with an ambidextrous locking mechanism and a blade made from the steel of the hour.
Simonutti is a returning champion in the Italian knife scene, responsible for a number of designs from MKM and Fox. For the latter he designed the Radius, which won Overall Knife of the Year and Best Imported Knife at Blade Show 2019. The headline feature on the knife was its pivot-based locking mechanism, which was operated by moving a stud in an arc around the pivot; pushing down on the stud like a button disengaged the lock for closure.
I like the folks at Viper. I don’t know them quite as well as I have gotten to know some of the other Italians, but they have always been super friendly. It is cool to see them getting noticed.
