Solid, but not perfect
I've been a fan of Viper Knives for a long time, and when it was time to buy another folder, I spotted the Fortis and ordered it. I only gave this 4 stars, and I'll tell you why. I'll compare it to another knife at about the same price point, the We Knives 608, which is slightly larger but not by much.
For starters, the Viper is very solidly built. I absolutely love the…

blade. But there are some areas where the knife could be--and for this price SHOULD be--improved. The opening isn't particularly fluid at all, and unlocking it is a bit on the stiff side. To compare it to the WE Knives 608 is like night and day. On the 608, the blade opens with almost NO effort, and is silky smooth through the entire arc. Not so on the Fortis, so I knocked off a point for that. I really expected a smoother action, and for over 200 bucks, that's exactly what you should get. Still a great knife and I do love it.
Jackpot!!!
Cha-ching! I just hit the jackpot with this knife. $165? Are you kidding? I know that it's not a custom knife, and that it's not a fancy one, but it's everything I want or need in a knife. My knife, unlike the first reviewer's knife, works very well, both flipping and locking and unlocking. Fit and finish are excellent. M390 is a premium steel; can't go wrong there, and the blade…

is nicely formed and sharp as hell out of the box. The handle is very comfortable, and is chamfered in all the right places to help with that comfort.
It has the best flipper tab I've ever seen, because it's jimped and because it sticks out a little horizontally at the top of the tab and makes it so that it just grabs your finger and creates a no-miss pull on the tab. That tab is a little bit of design genius. I'm amazed that no one has come up with that before now. I wish the G-10 were a little bit more heavily milled, but it doesn't slip, so that's ok. The clip is tight and solid but doesn't rip your pocket when you pull the knife out.
I do wish the lockup was a little later, as mine might be about 20% and I prefer closer to 40%. Overall, though, a really fine and functional choice, worth well more than the price, and I can tell already that it will be one of my go-to knives. It's such a great price for such quality that I won't be afraid to use it at all, which I am a little afraid of with my $450 knife.
Thin
Does not open very fast, better off using the hole in the blade. Not so much of a lock stick but clicks when closing like the lock bar is too long and it looks like about 10% lockup if that.
