Viper Odino V5916FC N690 satin, carbon

The Viper Odino is great knife made out of high quality materials. The Odino is designed by Danish knife designer Jesper Voxnaes. The blade is made out of N690-steel, a popular Austrian type of steel. The blade is sharpened from back to the edge for almost the entire length of the knife. A nice full-flat grind that gives the blade a tight look. Opening the knife goes effortlessly with the thumb hole. The titanium side of the handle houses the lock and the pocket clip. The frame-lock blocking mechanism is robust and clicks firmly into place.

The other part of the handle is made of carbon. A high quality lightweight material that gives the knife a luxurious look. The spacer that holds the two handles apart at the pommel is nicely decorated and offers a wide opening to attach a lanyard.

Chris Reeve has a great tip for knives that have a titanium lock-bar: because of the difference in material (titanium and steel) the lock can move with some difficulty over the lock-face. The lock-face being the back of the blade where the at the point where it can lock. A little graphite (pencil point) on the titanium lock-bar resolves this very simple. This highly recommended, also for other knives with a titanium lock-bar.
