Viper Trail Knife Black Carbon Fiber, Satin N690Co by Jens Ansø (VT4068FC)

Trail Black Carbon Fiber, Satin is an advanced outdoor knife designed by the renowned Danish knifemaker Jens Ansø. The blade is made of Böhler N690Co stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and easy to sharpen. The semi-hidden tang construction and blade profile guarantee excellent durability during intensive outdoor work. The handle is made of a modern carbon fiber composite, with a striped texture. This ensures a secure grip, even with wet hands or when wearing gloves. This material is resistant to mechanical damage, moisture and extreme temperatures. The whole is complemented by a solid sheath made of natural leather. It is equipped with a practical belt attachment for convenient carrying of the tool. Every detail of the knife shows the designer's attention to ergonomics, aesthetics and solid workmanship. The product is appreciated by both collectors and users who demand reliable equipment.

Jens Ansø, a Danish industrial designer and knife maker, began his career in 1988. The founder of ANSØ of DENMARK in 2001, he is known for the flowing lines, harmony and perfection of his work. His knives, both fixed and folding, reflect an extraordinary attention to detail and soft shapes. He has collaborated with companies such as Spyderco, Böker and Fox Knives, and his designs have been mass-produced. Anso is also valued for his use of exclusive materials and innovative approach to design.

N690Co - rich in cobalt 1.65% (Co), corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo) and vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide better wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, but with a higher cobalt (Co) content. It is characterized by extremely high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened to 59-61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - wide, clip point type with elegant satin finish. The pronounced belly lengthens the cutting edge in relation to the length of the wide blade. The thickness of the blade and flat grinding provide excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The spine jimping on the back of the blade provides a solid thumb rest, making it easier to handle the knife.

Handle - made of carbon fiber composite, a material that is not sensitive to weather conditions and resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The rounded shape of the covers eliminates sharp edges and the striped texture further improves grip. The unique ergonomics of the handle allow the knife to be held in both directions, especially for users who prefer an inverted grip. There is a lanyard hole at the back of the handle for attaching a safety line.

Sheath - when designing the sheath, great emphasis was placed on ease of carrying and drawing the knife. Traditional sheath made of high-quality leather, with a flap to prevent falling out and the possibility of hanging it on a belt.
