Finding the right folding knife often comes down to balance.

Too large, and it becomes uncomfortable for daily carry. Too small, and performance can feel limited when real work begins.

The Gryvex Viper Knives S3301 was designed around a different idea: delivering the strength and confidence of a larger knife inside a compact EDC-friendly profile. Designed by Rattlesnake, the Viper combines premium materials, refined mechanics, and a purposeful design language for users who want performance without unnecessary bulk.

Compact in size but substantial in feel, the Viper is built for those who expect more from their everyday carry.

Compact Size With Serious Capability

The Viper measures 7.0 inches (178 mm) overall and features a 2.9-inch blade, creating a compact profile that remains practical for everyday use.

Many EDC users prefer this size range because it offers:

• Comfortable pocket carry

• Fast access

• Better control

• Easy daily use

• Strong cutting performance

Despite its compact dimensions, the Viper avoids feeling lightweight or underbuilt.

Its 4 mm blade thickness immediately creates a stronger and more confidence-inspiring feel in hand.

The proportions strike a balance between portability and capability.

Böhler M390: Premium Blade Performance

At the center of the Viper is a Böhler M390 blade steel.

M390 has become one of the most respected premium steels in the knife community because of its combination of:

• Excellent edge retention

• High wear resistance

• Strong corrosion resistance

• Long-term durability

Blade Specifications

• Blade Steel: Böhler M390

• Hardness: HRC 60±1

• Blade Length: 2.9" (73 mm)

• Blade Thickness: 0.157" (4 mm)

• Blade Width: 0.98" (25 mm)

• Blade Grind: Flat

• Blade Finish: Stonewashed

The flat grind improves slicing efficiency while maintaining blade strength.

The stonewashed finish gives the knife a clean industrial appearance and helps minimize visible wear from everyday use.

For many users, this creates a blade that looks better over time rather than showing every scratch immediately.

Titanium Construction With Distinctive Character

The handle uses a Titanium construction that balances strength and weight while delivering a premium feel.

Unlike heavier handle materials, titanium provides:

• Excellent structural strength

• Corrosion resistance

• Lightweight performance

• Long-term durability

The Viper also features a unique Lightning Strike Finish, giving the knife a more distinctive visual identity while maintaining a refined appearance.

Rather than relying on aggressive styling, the pattern adds subtle personality without becoming excessive.

No two pieces feel exactly the same.

Smooth Ceramic Bearing Action

Deployment feel plays a major role in a premium folding knife experience.

The Viper uses a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system, creating smooth and consistent blade action.

The manual opening mechanism combined with dual thumb studs delivers:

• Fast deployment

• Controlled action

• Smooth operation

• Reliable mechanical feel

Many EDC enthusiasts appreciate action that feels precise rather than overly aggressive.

The Viper is designed around controlled mechanical refinement.

Strong Frame Lock Reliability

Lock stability directly affects confidence during use.

The Viper features a Titanium Frame Lock, a system commonly preferred in premium folding knives because of its:

• Strong lock engagement

• Slim design

• Mechanical simplicity

• Long-term durability

Once opened, the lockup feels secure and solid, creating confidence for everyday cutting tasks.
