The Tidioute Cutlery Viper from Great Eastern Cutlery has a traditional swayback design. The handle is made from burlap micarta with brass liners and brass hardware. But a knife can't be a knife without a blade, and this has a nice one! It is made from 1095 high carbon steel that will serve you for decades with proper care. GEC goes to great lengths, completing up to 200 hands-on steps to bring the best to the knife world, and the Viper is truly something remarkable.
