Terrible Design

by Werewolf, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on January 24, 2021
The design of this knife is not only terribly impractical but also dangerous!
The blade deployment switch is located at the rear end of the handle, meaning the knife must be held upside down in order to deploy the blade.
The blade deployment switch also travels the entire length of the handle along a track. You will have to keep your fingers clear of this track or the switch will painfully bite your fingers and prevent the blade from fully deploying.
All in all, and absolutely terrible design that I would not recommend to anyone!

Schrade Viper OTF

by cwe414, from GA, United States Written on November 15, 2020
Came very sharpe and zero wobble. Safety and action make it a little difficult to open with one hand. I have larger hands so I am able to open with one hand, however I would consider a double action or smaller knife if you have smaller hands.

Excellent knife

by William, from FL, United States Written on July 16, 2018
The Schrade Viper is an amazing knife. It feels well put together, it is a little on the heavy side which I like. The spring that helps deploid the blade feels strong too. I loved it. Thank you Optics Planet.

Quick release blade

by Matt, from PA, United States Written on September 11, 2016
Nice knife with a very explosive spring action. Has a safety button to protect the user from accidental discharge of the sharp blade. Overall good quality but a little too heavy. Strong material and good looking.
