Microtech Founder's Custom Knife Division
Marfione Custom Knives is the custom division of Microtech Knives, run by founder Anthony "Tony" Marfione and his son Sean out of their North Carolina workshop. Since founding Microtech in 1994, Tony Marfione has produced limited-run custom versions of popular Microtech models alongside original designs built entirely from scratch.
Marfione Custom uses a logo system to indicate production level. Knives bearing the claw logo are semi-custom pieces—upgraded versions of existing Microtech designs with hand-ground blades, exotic materials, and premium finishes. Knives bearing the dagger logo are fully custom, one-of-a-kind builds. Every piece receives hand-grinding, hand-finishing, and an individual serial number.
The custom OTF lineup includes upgraded Combat Troodons, Scarab IIs, Halos, UTX-70s, and Mini Troodons built with Damascus blades from specialty forges like Vegas Forge, Chad Nichols, and Devin Thomas, paired with carbon fiber handles, exotic wood inlays, anodized titanium accents, and mirror-polished or hot-blued finishes. The folder lineup features the Anax integral framelock—Tony Marfione's first integral design, machined from a single piece of titanium—along with collaboration flippers like the DOC, Starlord, Warhound, and Matrix-R.
Production runs are extremely limited, often between 10 and 50 pieces before a configuration changes. Each knife ships with premium packaging, certificates of authenticity, and maker marks from the Marfione team.
DLT Trading receives Marfione Custom allocations directly from the Marfione workshop. Every knife is inspected and photographed before listing, so what you see is exactly what ships.
