[Sanrenmu x Duncans] Dusk Viper

The Dusk Viper, a collaboration between Duncans and Sanrenmu, is a robust folding knife designed for demanding work and everyday carry. Its blade, crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with a hardness of 57-59 HRC, offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability, enhanced by a durable Titanium Nitride coating featuring a unique snake pattern for a distinct aesthetic. The blade includes dual thumb studs for quick one-handed opening and a razor-sharp edge, while the knife runs on Teflon washers for smooth, reliable operation. The G10 handle provides a textured, grippy surface for secure handling in wet or oily conditions, and the knife features a tip-down pocket clip and lanyard hole for convenient carry, with a liner lock ensuring blade stability.

As a tool built to withstand abuse, the Dusk Viper excels as a work knife due to its tough 8Cr13MoV steel and wear-resistant coating, which handle heavy cutting, minor impacts, and harsh environments with ease. Compared to most stainless steels, 8Cr13MoV offers superior edge retention and cutting performance, making it ideal for the knife’s rugged purpose. The ergonomic G10 handle and smooth mechanics ensure comfort and reliability during prolonged use, while the affordable yet high-quality construction delivers premium performance. With its combination of durability, practicality, and striking design, the Dusk Viper is a dependable tool that thrives in challenging conditions, perfect for workers and EDC enthusiasts looking for something new.
