Three years of development carried out in collaboration with active-duty Navy SEALs have shaped the REIFF Vicon. Prototypes accompanied these operators on deployments, high-altitude jumps, saltwater dives and survival exercises in order to put the design and materials through their paces.

At the heart of this full-tang construction lies a clip-point blade made from CPM MagnaCut. This modern steel provides the balance required for a field knife: high corrosion resistance, good toughness and long-lasting edge retention. The stonewash finish enhances its functional character by visually minimising signs of wear.

The black G10 scales provide a firm and stable grip, even when conditions become wet or challenging. Their rounded profile ensures comfortable ergonomics, whilst the material’s texture provides security for both powerful movements and tasks requiring greater control.

The Vicon comes with an ambidextrous Kydex sheath manufactured in the USA. Its adjustable retention, removable offset plate and configurable loop allow the carry to be adapted to both the user’s equipment and personal preferences.

Tellknives review:

This all-black variant is probably the most understated and tactical in the Vicon range. The G10 is particularly well-suited to a knife likely to be exposed to water, temperature fluctuations and heavy use.

Beyond its impressive development history, the Vicon impresses with the consistency of its design. MagnaCut, full tang, expert ergonomics and a truly modular sheath combine to create a professional tool that is robust without being unnecessarily bulky.
