The Microtech Marfione Custom Hellhound Damascus OTF is a striking example of precision engineering and bold custom design. Built under the Marfione Custom name, this knife represents the highest tier of Microtech craftsmanship, where premium materials, expert machining, and aggressive styling come together in a truly collectible out-the-front automatic. Every detail reflects the attention and innovation that Tony Marfione has become known for among serious knife enthusiasts and collectors.
At the heart of this knife is a 3.25 inch Damascus steel tanto blade featuring the iconic Hellhound profile. This distinctive blade shape is instantly recognizable for its dramatic lines and complex grind geometry. The hollow grind enhances slicing performance while maintaining the strength expected from a tanto-style point. Damascus steel adds another level of character, producing intricate layered patterns that ensure no two blades are exactly alike. The result is a blade that offers both cutting performance and visual depth, giving the knife a presence that stands apart from ordinary production automatics.
Deployment is handled through a smooth and reliable out-the-front automatic mechanism activated by a thumb slide positioned along the handle. With a firm push forward, the blade deploys quickly and decisively, locking solidly into place with the crisp action Microtech is known for. Pulling the slide back retracts the blade just as smoothly, delivering the dependable performance that has made Microtech OTF knives trusted tools around the world.
The handle is crafted from sleek black carbon fiber, offering a perfect balance of strength, lightweight performance, and refined appearance. Carbon fiber provides excellent rigidity while keeping the overall weight of the knife impressively low. Its subtle texture also adds grip, allowing the knife to sit securely in the hand during use. The streamlined handle design complements the aggressive blade profile, creating a cohesive look that feels both modern and purposeful.
A tip down pocket clip keeps the knife secure during right hand carry, while the integrated glass breaker at the base of the handle adds practical utility without disrupting the knife’s clean lines. Measuring 8.375 inches overall and weighing just 3.07 ounces, the Hellhound Damascus OTF delivers a large presence with surprisingly lightweight carry comfort.
This Marfione Custom piece isn’t just a cutting tool—it’s a statement of craftsmanship and design excellence. The combination of Damascus steel, carbon fiber, and Microtech’s legendary automatic action makes this knife equally suited for collectors and serious enthusiasts who appreciate the finest examples of modern knife making.
