📋 About This Mod
Viper's Kiss SE
_____________
Reason for this mod:
______________________
Kind of on a sword and dagger adventure right now, and my good friend PhatBassAnchor sent me a picture of A Damascus steel double fuller Kopis style blade.
It just oozed sexy so I had to make a version of it.
Phat and I have also spent time looking for images of carved totems and found many in wood and ivory. The eagles head on the ears of Eagle Bow is a good example of one of the ivory ones.
The snake head was an idea born from an image of a cane handle carved in ivory.
Always a fan of figured wood and had thoughts of using a curly maple for this but didn't stand out enough for the boldness of the Damascus, and snake pommel.
A Red Bubinga however fit like a glove.
So this is really a unique creation that incorporates ideas, and images shared between friends (Phat, and myself)
I hope you enjoy it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 180 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads.
- Faster and lighter than Ebony while keeping the same damage—great for DPS builds.
- ESL-flagged plugin means it's load-order friendly and won't eat a slot.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one weapon—if you want a full set, this isn't it.
- Last updated in January 2021, so it might not be tested with the latest Skyrim patches.
- Finding it requires a trip to Mount Anthor, which can be a hassle early game.
For Skyrim players who want a unique, early-access sword with better handling than Ebony without breaking balance. If you're a collector of one-off weapons or enjoy discovering hidden loot, this is a nice addition. Skip if you're looking for a full weapon pack or major gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can safely add it to any load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
- Head to Mount Anthor early—the sword is behind the alchemy table, so you can grab it without fighting the dragon priest if you're sneaky.
- You can improve it at a grindstone, so invest in Smithing to keep it viable late game.
