ge Marfione Custom Kestrel Automatic Flipper – Serial #008

An exceptionally rare Vintage Anthony Marfione Custom Kestrel Automatic Flipper, representing an early chapter in Anthony Marfione’s custom knife-making career. Vintage Marfione customs of this caliber are highly sought after and rarely appear on the secondary market, making this an outstanding opportunity for serious collectors.

According to the maker’s original label, this knife features a hand-ground hollow grind, a high-polish ATS-34 blade, 30K carbon fiber inlays, and a 6AL-4V titanium handle. Marked Serial No. 008, this is an early production example that significantly enhances its rarity and collectibility.

The Kestrel Automatic Flipper combines Marfione’s innovative design with premium materials and meticulous hand craftsmanship. It features a crisp, powerful automatic deployment, a smooth flipper mechanism, exceptional fit and finish, and the distinctive styling that defines Anthony Marfione’s early custom work. As vintage Marfione Automatic Flippers become increasingly difficult to find, examples like this are rarely offered for sale.
