Viper Belone First Impressions and Testing 

I'm deeply flattered and laughing my a** off, but would like to reassure the public that I absolutely would not win that battle. Lol.

I didn't wait! That N. Shabazz is spot on!

That intro to the knife lab with Shabazz was epic! Made me laugh a lot. Thanks for the vids and awesome knife tests Pete! Peace!!

That hair on your thumb drove me nuts.

Nice knife and review! I couldn’t stop watching the dog hair stuck to your left thumb. 🤪

That smash bit was the best thing I've ever seen.

Oh my god!!!! That smash interlude!!!! So perfect!!!!

Always a pleasure to click on a Cedric and Ada video. Never know what to expect but it’s always entertaining! Not a knife that interests me and that pocket clip... How does something like that even get approved for production? Doesn’t anyone there ever do that bit where you actually try to use what you’re selling? You know what I mean... “testing”

Thanks Pete for the smiles! So funny!

Thank you for reviewing this. I’ve had my eye on some of those Viper knives but have seen very few reviews. Keep up the great work!

4:22 Thank you, thank you, thank you. For a long time now, I've been hearing people say, "...for all intensive purposes". My ears and my grammar pedant brain are happy.

Always love the knife lab gags!

I love all your videos, but this intro was super classic!! Thanks for all the awesome videos Pete

Hit em with the ol' Shabazzle Dazzle I see.

Shabazz bit had me laughing. Keep up the great work

Viper seems to have upgraded the pocket clip for Viper Belone. One shot on Instagram shows the knife with that new pocket clip ! I can’t wait for a complete review form you ! I hope you will do that soon !

waiting on the roc review beautiful design

My god man, release that Amalgam review! ... And keep up the great work. Absolutely love the channel. There’s nothing quite like the knife lab vids.

That knife lab intro just killed me. I haven't laughed that loud in a long time

That Smash Bros clip was absolutely incredible

I got one in bronze ti and it's fantastic, thanks for convincing me!

Are you still planning a follow up review on this one? Just interested to see how it fairs for you in the long run. Keep up the great work!

May I ask, did you ever retest the Belone on your own sharpening? I have heard some claim the M390 in the Belone is sub par? How did you find it? Thankyou.

The knife looks really cool. And as always, you've done a great job on the video. That dragon Ball shirt is badass. The Smash Brothers part is amazing. That was clearly my favorite part. And then on top of that Nick Shabazz comes in and whoops everybody. Loved it. Thanks for the video.

It really does look like a folding Canadian belt knife. I like it. Also than N. Shabazz is dynamite, he should have a match against A. Knifebro.

Love the blade shape and the narrow handle shape. I'm a Spyderco fan, but sometimes get tired of the wide handles. I like a knife that disappears in the pocket.

I love my Viper Baloney👍 They did change the pocketclip. Seen from the side it's now much more like a standard Benchmade clip, running perpendicular to the frame before dipping down to the scales rather than diving down like this old one does (similar to that on the Viper Lille, where it's less of a problem because the bodyscrews are not in it's path). The clip as it is now actually makes this the best that I have (second being Brad Zinker's spoonclip, third place goes to Spyderco's wireclip and I give a shared fourth to the short clips on the Benchmade Bugout and that on the CRKT Ruger LCK)👌

The pocket clip really does this otherwise compelling knife a great disservice. For the price, and considering the prestige of the designer/brand it seems reasonable to be pretty picky about this. I found I was just not carrying mine much due to what a pain it was to take out of the pocket. Solution? I bent the clip into a better shape. Works perfectly now. If I've over-stressed the metal from bending and it breaks some time in the future, my back-up solution: The kershaw amplitude (3.25 version only) has a very similar clip, which only needs to be lightly modified to fit perfectly. Shouldn't have to do any of that, of course, but now at least I can happily carry this fine knife.

I loved that Smash bros part! I hope Nick sees this. Thanks Pete!

That blade closely resembles the traditional spanish "navaja". Awesome and fun vid! Huge fan here, greetings fom Asturias (Northern Spain)

That's a sexy knife...wonder if they will countersink that screw (and use a flat head) under the clip in future iterations. I bet you will be able to squeeze out some excellent numbers from that blade in The Knife Lab...

Anyone watching who hasn't subscribed needs to. Seriously this shit is gold!

Do you have any long term experience with the titanium on steel lock? My only hesitation is the wear over time. Love the design.

The [SPOILER] appearance was incredible.

This is a nice looking knife!

It’s on my list

please more knife lab intros featuring Shabazz, absolutely loved it!!!

That screw is a fly in the pudding. Yeah you can scoop it out and eat the rest. But really its better to have no fly in your pudding.

Bahahaha, I'm not even a gamer enthusiast (at all) but that Smash battle with Lynn, Ernest, and Nick had me cracking up; well done, sir. While I find this knife design quite attractive, the handle is far too thin for any reasonable use for me, and they really botched up that second screw on the pocketclip, unfortunately. Enjoyable as always, Pete.

I do have a Viper Italio in CF/M390..which is a bit of an odd job...but I like it in my collection because it is different. Mine is great with some small issues...but as I read reviews a lot of reviewers have had major issues with Viper Knives (like your Keeper)... ..bad steel, détent rock, just big flaws...Like...how can a company with this much experience not put a counter-sunk screw under the clip? I quite like this knife in the CF version...it will be interesting to checkout your full review! (JT weighed the CF Version at 2.85 oz. so slightly lighter).

I recently purchased this knife. Really like the knife overall, but that screw under the clip is a real pain.

More cold steel knives please sir!! Or just some robot twerking would be suffice..

I’ve been curious to see what people think about this knife

Did you ever do a video comparing the Mora garberg carbon vs. stainless ?

I'm here just for the intros

Idk?! Heard from the Shabazz that Viper QC blows.. do like the blade I like long and slender

That thin hair, thread, whatever on your thumb, can't unsee. Edit - Oh, I'm not the only one too see it, good. Great review though!

Here's testing done and impressions cutting cardboard ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r8grtji7xEg.html

Hate to change the subject but I think your shoes could do with a polish! (8.49!)

10:38. I'm done. There's beer all over the floor and I'm Googling Batman masks so I can 'Be The Nick'.

More celebrity knife designer death match!

Titanium linerlock without steel lockbar? Nice design but lost my attention. Second dealbreaker is the screws.

Hey Pete!

Pete = Class clown of the knife community. Yes, I’m jealous. Well done sir!

can we send a knife for review? thanks

Who else was distracted by the hair clinging to his left thumb?

Voxnaes is a genius...

I like a sweeeepy belly

Super aussie at it again

Hahahahahha. Of course N Shabazz joined the fight

👍

I like 390 not clip points

That’s one schitie clp...

that wasn't even nick's final form

Actually, it's pronounced "bologna" ... Source: I have a doctorate in global internet pronunciation sciences.

I love most of Jesper's designs, but this one is meh

Always was a bit of a plopper!

that FUCKING hair on your thumb!!! nice knife tho

😂

Pocketclip FAIL!

"Testing"...lets call it sisal rope cutting, not testing, or more appropriately stuffing around in the shed butchering knife grinds from their original designs. I hope I didn't get cancer from this.
