The Viking Knife is a low-speed putter with moderate glide and moderate fade. It produces a reliably overstable flight, making it a dependable choice in windy conditions and for shots that require a consistent finish.
Low speed (2) and manageable stability make this accessible for newer players.
Throw with a slight hyzer angle and let the fade do the work. This disc fights out of turn and finishes predictably.
This Viking putter features a flight rating of speed two, glide three, turn zero, and fade two, making it a reliable overstable approach disc. The disc has a diameter of 21.1 centimeters and a rim width of 1.0 centimeter, with a maximum weight of 175.1 grams for added stability in windy conditions. Its overstable nature means it tends to fade left for right-handed backhand throwers as it loses momentum, providing a predictable finish even against crosswinds. Players who struggle with turnovers or need a finisher for approach shots will find this disc particularly useful. The knife-shaped profile and overstable flight make it suitable for forehand putts where you need the disc to hold its line and finish flat. Newer players can rely on the consistent fade and overstable characteristics to keep their approach shots on target, while more experienced throwers appreciate the disc's predictability in adverse weather conditions. The Viking Knife serves as a good alternative to discs like the Black Zombie Chainsaw, Copperhead, or Fossil, offering similar overstable flight profiles for those looking to expand their approach game.
