The Twin is a small and elegant slipjoint gentleman&#8217;s pocket knife, especially suitable for every day use. It was designed by Fabrizio Silvestrelli who has been collaborating with Viper for years in the development of new knives.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the Twin&#8217;s handles are made from one piece of titanium formed into the body, liner and bolsters, making it very strong, and it is offered with a choice of different colours of scale inserts. You can choose from Dark Matter Gold carbon fiber and the ivory G10 or as shown here, the green Canvas micarta. The Twin also comes with a leather slip case.<\/p>\n<p>The blade is made from M390 stainless steel, an excellent combination of edge retention and corrosion resistance. It is non-locking slipjoint design, and the cutting edge is under three inches long making the knife friendly carry in many places.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035-365x365.jpg 365w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-00-feature-IMG20240407200035-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>What&#8217;s in the box?:<\/b><br \/>\nThis is more of a &#8216;what would have been in the box&#8217; as I don&#8217;t have the box.

Starting with a detail of the pivot bolt in the integral bolster, moving to the other end of the handle with rear integral bolster and lanyard hole. The spacer\/back-spring of the Twin is polished making for a stand out feature next to the matt titanium. The fit of the handle scale, and the one-piece construction of each titanium handle can be seen. My personal preference of phosphor-bronze washers are used for the blade pivot.<br \/>\nSwinging out the blade, initially to the half stop. A drop-point with long swedge gives this a powerful look. Focusing in on a few smaller details on the M390 blade, and into the handle. The final image is of the blade tip with factory edge.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13951 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-13951 { --fg-gutter: 10px;

One of the Tactical Review&#8217;s tests is to measure the torque required to open and close the blade, and in here including the half stop. This is done using a force meter and applying it to the blade at a set distance from the pivot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057-365x365.jpg 365w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Viper-Twin-26-torque-IMG20240414191057-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The final measurements are as follows.

That first factory edge is just like the first tank of fuel that a new car comes with (or first charge of the battery).<br \/>\nA good factory edge is a &#8216;nice to have&#8217; but not a &#8216;make or break&#8217; for a good knife, as you will be putting your own edge onto it soon enough.<br \/>\nThe factory edge does however indicate the care a knife maker has put into the final finish.<br \/>\nIt is for this reason Tactical Reviews measures factory edge sharpness and specifications, and includes this information in the detailed technical testing.<\/p>\n<p>As a further look at the factory edge, this section has been added to include some high magnification photos of the factory edges.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few more images than I normally include as I found this knife, despite being a show knife, still had some burrs from the factory sharpening. A quick strop would remove them quickly and this edge was very good, so this is out of interest more than anything else.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13968 .fg-image { width: 150px;

My nails don&#8217;t like nail nicks, and I always pinch-open the blade of the Twin, which is reassuringly firm in its action. The size is both easy to carry but also substantial enough you don&#8217;t feel it is lacking, certainly not for typical EDC use. The wide flat ground blade makes light work of various jobs and slices well.<br \/>\nThis gallery shows it in my XL glove-size hands.<br \/>\nIn the last two images in this gallery (one of which is included full size at the end of the review) you can just make out the modification I have made, which for me completes the Twin, and that is adding a sharpening choil.
