Viper Trail Knife Black Suretouch, Stonewashed N690Co by Jens Ansø (VT4066GG)

Trail Black Suretouch, Stonewashed is an advanced all-terrain 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 field work. The handle is made of the modern composite material Suretouch, which combines the properties of rubber and laminate. This ensures a secure grip, even with wet or gloved hands. The 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 require 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 exceptionally 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 finished with a Stonewashed method to mask small scratches caused during use. The prominent belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the wide blade. The thickness of the blade and the flat grind give an excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The notched part of the spine of the blade, the spine jimping ramp, positions the thumb, giving a solid support, facilitating the handling of the knife.

Handle - made of innovative Suretouch composite, a combination of G10 and rubber, a virtually indestructible material that is insensitive to weather conditions, 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 either hand, especially for users who prefer an inverted grip. There is a lanyard hole at the back of the handle for attaching a safety cord.

Sheath - the design focuses on easy carrying and drawing of 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.
