The newest edition to the Rapid Fire Series...the Rapid Fire Viper is up and ready to add some new lightning fast assisted action to your big EDC knife collection. The Off-Grid Viper V2's blade has been dropped onto the Rapid Fire body, creating a fast action tanto blade with the famous Rapid Fire overbuilt design. We stayed with the field tested Cryo D2 and G10 scales, this knife is built to use and abuse. Use it for tactical purposes, self defense, or take it with you on your next camping or hunting trip. The Rapid Fire Series is currently used by members of the US Military, EOD (explosive ordinance disposal), Homeland Security, Secret Service, firemen, law enforcement, border patrol, first responders, coast guard, private security, Off-Grid adventurers and "knife nuts" across the world.
The Viper V2 quickly became a best seller with the vicious tanto blade shape and aggressive jimping along the spine. It was an easy decision to drop this blade onto a Rapid Fire body. The Rapid Fire Viper blade shape is slightly wider and shorter than the XL due to the different geometry, which creates a very robust tanto blade and center point tip that's built for hard-use cutting and piercing. We used Cryogenic D2 blade steel, the same steel as our robust Tracker-X2 and Ridgeback fixed blade knives. D2 is an extremely tough steel that is very close to stainless, excellent corrosion resistance, incredible edge retention, holding an edge even after tons of hard-use. To enhance the benefits of D2 even more, we used a Cryo treatment and coated it with a tumbled Titanium Nitride (TINI) coating. The benefits the cryogenic process: Additional corrosion resistant properties, increased durability and edge retention.
If it ain't broke...our Rapid Fire elongated honeycomb texture has been a favorite for our Rapid Fire customers, so why change a good thing? If you've never handled a Rapid Fire grip, it's very comparable to the beefy ZT (Zero Tolerance) 0303 knife, bottom line, it's a comfortable and confident four finger grip, with or without gloves. Once you get this beast in your hand and pull the trigger, you'll know why it's called the "Rapid Fire", it's lightning quick. We're confident this knife will be your fastest assisted deployment in your EDC arsenal.
Our Rapid Fire knives are on the large side of EDC, but they don't carry as such. The Rapid Fire knives ride deep in your pocket, the clip can be worn left or right, tip-up carry. With a .4375" thickness, you'll forget it's there...until you need it.
We added grippy jimping in multiple key areas, on the spine and two places on the G10, for your thumb and for a non-slip area at the back. The Rapid Fire will always give you a feeling of confidence when you are ready to deploy and get down with any hard use situation. Also, your Rapid Fire Viper will always come razor sharp out of the box and hold an edge for very long periods of time.
