Viper Belone Satin M390 Blue Titanium Liner Lock Flipper Carbon Fiber Overlay V5970BLFC

The Belone has premium materials and build quality with Jesper Voxnaes’ elegant, minimalist design aesthetic. Equipped with a satin finished M390 blade this version of the Belone has blue anodized, stonewashed titanium liners and carbon fiber overlays for an elegant, modern look.

New and improved clip design as of mid-2020.

Brand new, direct from Viper Knives, Italy.

Blade: The sub 3.5″ clip point blade provides plenty of cutting edge while still being every day carry friendly. Flat ground M390 delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance with an attractive satin finish and crowned spine for style. The blade rides on a thrust bearing pivot and deploys fast and smooth via the integral flipper tab.

Handle: Full titanium handle slabs have been are contoured for comfort and tumbled, blue anodized liners for a subtle pop of color. One of the 2.5 mm liners forms the liner lock mechanism that provides smooth, reliable operation for safe use. Carbon Fiber overlays create more contour for enhanced ergonomics while reducing weight and elevating the style. The handle is completed with a partial titanium back spacer, end-mounted titanium pocket clip, and generous hole for lanyard attachment.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, deep carry titanium pocket clip.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its exceptional edge retention. M390 also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid problems by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is the ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
