Off-Grid Knives - Viper V2 with154CM Steel Tanto Blade, Grippy G10 Scales, Left or Right Deep Carry Clip, Ceramic Ball Bearings (Coyote)

I had this knife in my wish list for a little while and would check it from time to time. This time I checked and was happy to see the knife under the $60 mark. I immediately purchased.Packaging: 5/5It came in a standard bubble wrap Amazon package. Once I got to the Off-Grid product box, I could tell whatever inside was quality. The packaging is very clean and professional. The box itself is a magnet latch and sturdy pressed foam lines the inside. The cutout in the foam for the knife is as close to perfect as you can get and holds the knife securely. A catalog and a OFF-GRID sticker were also included.Knife: 5/5The knife has great weight and the G10 handles and scales feel great. The texture is perfect for a secure grip. The blade swings open smooth and flawless, no matter how hard you flick the assist. The blade locks securely and has ZERO movement even without the extra locking mechanism engaged. It’s incredible. The blade is very sharp and there is just enough intentional abrasion around all the edges to give it a worn or slightly used appearance. It’s very clean though and actually adds more detail to the blade. The blade is thick and sturdy, but holds a great, super sharp edge.Cons:The only thing I’m not a fan of is the cutout for the belt clip. I love that it is recessed into the handle and the clip is very solid, but both sides have the cutout so you can switch the way the knife faces in your pocket depending on left or right hand. This means, one side has the clip and the other side has the cutout where the clip could go. It doesn’t effect the knife in anyway, it’s just personal preference.Conclusion: I highly recommend this knife. Even at its original price, it’s a steal. This knife could easily sell for $150-200. It’s that good. So, I would order one now, before they realize what I just said…

My everyday carry. Little heavy but definitely worth the weight. Opens on a dime. Edge is very sturdy and sharpens in minutes

Off Grid Knives needs more recognition! This thing is built like a tank, with utility in mind. Great detent, nicely gimped flipper tab, and the blade rockets out on super smooth action that feels like an auto. No nonsense handle with reversible clip, and filler tab on opposite side. Nice spear point tanto blade with consistent finish, and laser beam sharp edge. I love knives that are designed with use in mind, over fanciful decorations, and the one is it. The file work on the spine seems just for looks until you extend your pointer to the spine for precise cutting, and then it makes sense. I’m getting another one for my collection, because it would be a shame not to use this one. Get one already!

More knife than I had expected, very stable, strong and sharp Knife. Easy to pop open and one hand close, better than most I have. It’s my daily carry now

Knife is awesome. Built nice and heavy duty

This is a sturdy, well-built tool! it looks great and functions well. The blade came sharp and the action of the blade is everything that one would hope. The value is also quite high, especially considering that this blade can be purchased at a sale price, as Off Grid Knives often puts their blades on sale. My biggest complaint is how this knife feels in the pocket. One of the draw backs of it's sturdiness is it's size. Despite it's heft, it still is unnecessarily uncomfortable in the pocket, as it has sharp corners and edges that make it difficult to put your hand in the pocket or to store anything else in the same pocket as the knife. Still a good quality knife and a nice addition to my collection.

Feels and looks great, sharp and built like a tank. I own a few off grid knives and highly recommend them

I really wanted to like this knife.When I got the Viper it came nicely packaged and I was overall impressed with the knife. The weight is nice as I like a slightly heavier knife, the action for blade deployment is smooth and can be done one handed to open and close. It was a little larger than I anticipated but still fits nicely in my pocket. The biggest selling point for me is that it isnt Chinese, although I find that it's actually made in Taiwan. Oh well.I bought it in December 2024 and I've waited until February of 2025 to write a review. I'm disappointed because the big issue for me is edge retention and honestly it's poor. It doesn't take an edge easily but when I manage to sharpen it, the edge feels good, however it doesn't keep. The edge is pretty much gone after a couple of uses and yes, I am using it on some harder cutting materials but it should still be sharp. I've got Kershaw knive's from before they went cheap and began to use Chinese made crap and these keep an edge really well. I have to say I cant recommend this knife and will most likely end up spending 4 times what I paid and get myself a Bench Made or other similarly well made brand. I paid $100 some bucks for this Off-GridKnifes product and I guess I got what I paid for.
