Sturdy, minimalist, and designed to deliver high performance in the field. The new Viper GMR fixed-blade knife, designed by Fabrizio Silvestrelli, takes its name from the initials of the founders of Tecnocut-Viper, paying homage to the brand’s artisanal origins and the Italian tradition of crafting high-quality knives.

Designed to ensure reliability, durability, and maximum functionality, the GMR stands out for its unique one-piece handle with an exposed tang—a solid and functional design that ensures a secure grip, excellent control during use, and easy cleaning even under the most demanding conditions.

The Hybrid Cryo steel blade, developed by Midgard Messer with support from the Austrian manufacturer Böhler, strikes a perfect balance between performance and practicality. Thanks to the cryogenic treatment and optimized hardness of 59–61 HRC, this steel offers an excellent combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of resharpening, making it well-suited to the specific needs of a knife intended for daily use and outdoor activities.

The Drop Point profile with a Flat Grind edge ensures great versatility in cutting tasks, while the stonewashed finish helps protect the blade’s surface from signs of wear, giving it a distinctive, technical look.

The natural jute micarta handle completes a design engineered for lightness, strength, and ergonomics, while the leather sheath ensures safe and stylish carry. A knife entirely Made in Italy, combining contemporary design, innovative materials, and traditional craftsmanship.

VIPERA is born from the fusion between the tactical and survival worlds, combining speed of use, robustness, and precision in a knife weighing less than 100 grams. Equipped with an elongated drop-point blade with a full flat grind and narrow edge, it offers penetration, smooth cutting, and hardness up to 61 HRC. It is available in two high-performance steels, both with excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The ergonomic handle with integrated guard ensures maximum control in all conditions, while the ASPIS nylon sheath allows for stable and versatile carrying.

VIPERA Nitrogen (Stone Washed, HCS, Ranger Green)
This variant is designed for outdoor, survival, bushcraft, and prepping users: areas where reliability in the field, weather resistance, and maintainability are essential. Nitrogen steel maintains excellent edge retention, combined with excellent rust resistance and, above all, greater ease of resharpening compared to M390. The increased resilience makes these models more tolerant to the abuse typical of a field environment.

Technical insight into nitrogen-added steels
Nitrogen steels, or nitrogen-added steels, are alloys in which nitrogen is used as an alloying element instead of, or in addition to, carbon. Although nitrogen is less effective than carbon in hardening the martensitic matrix, it has the advantage of forming stable compounds with chromium to a much lesser extent. This allows a greater amount of chromium to be kept in solid solution, improving corrosion resistance. In addition, nitrogen contributes to the hardness and stability of the structure, giving these steels a good balance between hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Compared to traditional martensitic steels, nitrogen steels can therefore offer a better combination of mechanical properties and resistance to chemicals, while maintaining good workability and sharpenability characteristics.

Intended use: Outdoor / Utility / Bushcraft

Type of production: Industrial
Country of production: Italy
Blade: nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel
Blade treatment: Stonewashed

VIPERA M390 (Total Black)
It is positioned as a specialist tool for tactical and operational use, where maximum hardness, extreme edge retention, and penetration are priorities. M390 steel (traditional martensitic with high chromium and vanadium content) is perfect for this: very high hardness (61 HRC), excellent edge retention, but typically more difficult to resharpen in the field and less tough than more ductile steels.
