    So ... the Marfione "custom" isn't made by Marfione himself. Good to know.

      You know Marfione ain't touched a single part of a custom. I'm sure he's earned the right to sit in his office and CAD the design and pick a color for those worker bees to build for him. Or maybe he just phones it in from the firing range. Haha.

      he probably makes the first one and then sends it downstairs to get reproduced or what the guy above me said. he probably did make them all himself once but hes the boss now. so hard work pays off i guess.

    Not impressed with microtech so far. Bought a microtech ultratech tactical had it for 2 days and the glass breaker ball fell off Yeah luckily the rest of the knife is hanging in there. When you spend $330 on a knife it shouldn't Start falling apart in 2 days

    Hopefully no one needs to warranty their knife in 12 years or so. I have a 2008 Ultratech, I called asking about paying them to replace the blade and broken main spring. They won't do it because it's too told. So apparently "lifetime" really means "until we change the geometry" or "until we decide it's too old". I distinctly buying a product with a lifetime warranty. I have other Microtechs that old and older that are still operating, so they're still within their lifetime. I've spent thousands on Microtech products and was about to spend more. However, I will NEVER purchase another one of their products again after the girl I talked to told said they can't help me.

      Ryan R then do your research and don’t bitch about it. Is tony marfione a better hand polisher than his employees? You don’t know. You can comment on the price or quality, but once you start complaining about something that is overseen by tony marfione you are saying you have better oversight capabilities than him. And that’s actually wrong, because your not him.

Only one of those 18 is a Marfione Custom-- my Marfione Blued Damascus blade Combat Troodon-- that thing is a beauty. My EDC is always a Socom Elite these days.

      Actually uh nope. G&G HAWK beats the pants off Microtech. $1,200 for a custom Microtech that still has an aluminum handle vs G&G Hawk with a titanium frame, carbon fiber scales, titanium clip, switch, stainless screws, quality blade, etc. You can also maintain your knife yourself without voiding the warranty. Can't beat that.

I'm dying to meet/talk to someone who has one they would be willing to part with and would really appreciate any ideas of where I could look or who I could talk to. Would he (anthony marfione) be willing to make a 1 off custom/prototype as I've seen him make before? How could I reach him? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I aspire to one day get my hands on one of his knives. :)
