      Yeah. I prefer asymmetrical blades for both visual and tactile identification of the blade edge. I've cut myself on spear point knives before by pulling it out and pressed my thumb directly into the blade side thinking it was the spine side.

  • @OTG414

    I really wish that they would focus on the quality of the heat treat. Especially on these Italian made Magnacut blades. The internet is rife with reports of the Italian manufacturers running their steels too soft. Magnacut at 89-90 HRC is a completely different animal than Magnacut at 92-93 HRC.

    Ya another crossbar lock that you can’t flip the clip on…cmon even benchmade makes most of their stuff ambi. Cold steel uses clips that follow the contour of the handle and they just include an extra clip 🤷🏻‍♂️ if you don’t want to add the cost in for the people who don’t care about it offer it as a purchasable option but put a filler in there or something so I can have it on the left. Even if your not a lefty lots of people carry 2 knives and being able to carry an otherwise ambi knife the correct way in the left pocket is still a plus.

    Viper needs to calm down with the branding and remove the knife name altogether. Italian makers in general need to thin up their geometry a bit too. There are several knives I've turned away from buying for these reasons.
