We&#8217;ll also be seeing how, in this Viper TURN Review how distinctively &#8216;Viper&#8217; this knife is. The TURN&#8217;s blade is B\u00f6hler M390 steel and described by Viper as having &#8216;a bold counter-bevel&#8217; on the satin finish blade. A double stepped-cone thumb-stud allows easy opening with either hand. Unusually for a back-lock, TURN uses ball bearings for the pivot to ensure a smooth and fluid rotation of the blade.  This Viper TURN review features the Essential G10 version that includes a deep-carry titanium pocket clip.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Viper-TURN-21-angle-open-P1010449.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Viper-TURN-21-angle-open-P1010449.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Viper-TURN-21-angle-open-P1010449-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Viper-TURN-21-angle-open-P1010449-768x564.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Viper-TURN-21-angle-open-P1010449-600x441.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>What&#8217;s in the box?:<\/b><br \/>\nOr should that be &#8216;Where is the box?&#8217;.

sharpen it. 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<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-14563 .fg-image { width: 150px;

version of the TURN, but it is still lovely to look at. The blend of a traditional back-lock folder layout with a modern, efficient, cutting blade profile, using high performance materials and features that increase its usability is spot-on.<br \/>\nViper&#8217;s signature polished spacer and lock bar contrast with the bead blast liners and black G10, giving the TURN a distinctive and stand-out look.<br \/>\nIf I had to pick one position for the pocket clip, it is exactly where Viper have positioned it. Tip-up, right-handed; it is going to be best for the majority, and for the left-handed it only needs one small adjustment before opening.<br \/>\nThe near-full-flat grind makes the TURN a fantastic slicer, and with great control too. The relatively wide blade adds to stability during cutting, so it is a real pleasure to use.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-14577 .fg-image { width: 150px;
