CRKT 2267 Taco Viper S/E Partially Serrated Folding Knife Black – Black

The CRKT 2267 Taco Viper Folding Knife allows you to be ready to strike at a moment’s notice. When a paratrooper is stuck on static line, every millisecond counts. That’s the high stakes situation that inspired the Taco Viper, an Assisted Opening knife that springs to action in the blink of an eye.

Antonio Rodriguez designed the Taco Viper based on his first hand experience as a soldier in the 82nd Airborne, modeling it after jump master and other knives carried throughout the division’s history. It putsch heavy duty cutting capabilities of those blades into a tactical folding knife that’s suitable for everyday carry. Held securely in place by a sturdy liner lock, the long blade features extended Jeff Serrations that give that knife its signature rope cutting ability. An optional sheath and coiled tether keep the knife secure in the windy cabin of a plane during jump operations, while the deep carry clip ensures a comfortable pocket fit for everyday carry.

Rodriguez named the knife as a callback to his unit, which began referring to itself as Taco Viper after a tongue in cheek comment about the snakes that would seek out leftovers from “Taco Tuesday” dinners in Afghanistan. While the unit no longer bears that name, Rodriguez made sure it would live on in the Taco Viper knife.

How Assisted Opening Works

It’s held securely closed in your pocket, but initiate the deployment, and part way through the rotation the blade opens at impressive speed for simple, powerful, one-handed opening.

How Jeff Serrations Work

Jeff Serrations are the alternative to standard triple point serrations. The unique Jeff Serration pattern on CRKT knives creates angled teeth that feed material into the cut as you pull. Think of it like multiple guillotines all set to glide through fibrous materials with surgical precision. They’re easy to sharpen and they work better than traditional serrations.
