Hot like a volcano

The Viper Katla is not only the latest coup of Jesper Voxnaes and Viper Technocut but also the name of one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland. The design of the knife leaves no doubt: here it goes hyper-modern to the point.

The handle is equipped with micarta scales, finished with a matte stonewash. Underneath the scales are steel liners, which also provide the liner lock. This locks the knife cleanly when open and can of course be easily operated with one hand. The blade, which runs on ball bearings, is opened via the small flipper tab that protrudes over the hilt or via the two thumb studs.

The blade is a kind of Spanto shape, as it became world famous through the knives of Rick Hinderer. Here, the shape of a Spearpoint blade is combined with the geometry of a Tanto tip. This makes for a sweeping look, but provides uncanny stability in the front area of the blade. This means that the Katla can definitely be used to work harder. The Böhler M390 blade steel used rounds off the picture perfectly thanks to its outstanding performance.
