It was during a meeting with Tommaso Rumici (the designer of the Dan) about a completely different fixed blade design of his, that Tommaso produced a Dan 2 from his pocket and handed it to me. We were still talking knives, but now onto something very different. Intended as an easy to carry, and as widely &#8216;EDC Legal&#8217; as possible pocket knife (due to size and lack of a lock), the Dan gets so much right, it was an instant hit with me. Since then I&#8217;ve not been able to put it down. In this review of the Viper Dan 1 and 2, I take a very close look at this knife and why it works so well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Viper-Dan-02-with-patch-P1340763.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"415\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Viper-Dan-02-with-patch-P1340763.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Viper-Dan-02-with-patch-P1340763-600x311.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Viper-Dan-02-with-patch-P1340763-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Viper-Dan-02-with-patch-P1340763-768x398.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A few more details:<\/h3>\n<h4>What&#8217;s in the box?:<\/h4>\n<p>The two knives in this review were provided without packaging or any accessories as they came directly from the Viper Tecnocut display stand at IWA 2019.

being a cross between a friction-folder and a slip-joint. The Dan can be opened two-handed, or one-handed and although the opening\/closing torque of the slip-joint mechanism is nothing to write home about, the protruding tang sits nicely under the thumb allowing you to hold the blade open.<\/p>\n<p>This knife (either blade style) has actually converted me to pocket clip carry. Before &#8216;Dan&#8217;, I had not found a knife\/clip design I felt comfortable with. It HAS to be deep carry, sticking up above the pocket edge is no good (for me). Then there is the clip and handle texture combination. My biggest complaint is how vicious most knife clips, particularly the underlying handle surface, are to the pocket material and edge; way beyond the need to hold it in place, and in some cases almost impossible to fit it onto the pocket or get it off again. If you like ripped pockets, great, but not me.<\/p>\n<p>Instead the Dan (both handle materials on test), has the deep pocket carry clip with a clip spring strength that holds, and has not let it go astray, yet is easy to fit and remove. The handle material finish is smooth without being slippery, so provides some grip but is not overly abrasive to the pocket material.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been carrying this knife daily for 9 months now &#8211; pocket clip carry &#8211; totally unheard of for me.<\/p>\n<p>Using the short tang (shorter than most friction folders) to open the knife one handed does require some care and concentration as it is very easy to turn the knife into your thumb pad (as ably demonstrated in the photos) and have it bite you. It does require a determined and positive approach to keep from cutting yourself.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-8538 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-8538 {

Clearly, as I&#8217;m about to show, for me it is not quite there, as I have made a couple of small modifications.<\/p>\n<p>However the initial inspiration for this modification was entirely due to UK EDC carry law &#8211; a cutting edge less than 3&#8243;. Proven by many cases, this is typically a measurement of the cutting edge being rolled along a ruler, not the straight line measurement. With its sloping back handles, the Dan also has a longer cutting edge than blade length. Combining these factors, the Dan 1 falls foul, by 3mm, of the UK EDC legal carry requirement. I decided to rectify this with a Dremel and remove 3mm of cutting edge while at the same time creating a sharpening choil (which I prefer anyway).<\/p>\n<p>With the success of the Dan 1 modification I decided I needed to do the same to the Dan 2 though this did not have the same EDC legal issue.<\/p>\n<p>For me these are both now the closest I&#8217;ve yet found for a perfect EDC legal folding knife. OK, nothing is perfect, but these knives are superb!<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-8552 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-8552 { --fg-gutter: 10px;
