Peter Marzitelli Custom Knives, dinosaur knife-making and hand made knife artist

These are some of the knife models that I am currently producing

Because I utilize a number of different handle materials, bolster materials and graphics in various combinations, I may have available knives for sale that are not depicted accurately in these photos.

To view my latest in stock knives, please email your request to info@marzknives.com and I will send you up to date photos of what’s brand new from my workshop.

I’ve combined two traditional blade designs, the drop point and the spear point to create this smooth sweeping profile. Not only does this make this a great hunter and skinner but also a good general utility design for the outdoor enthusiast.

I’ve combined two traditional blade designs, the drop point and the spear point to create this smooth sweeping profile. Not only does this make this a great hunter and skinner but also a good general utility design for the outdoor enthusiast. I borrowed the Bison design from a 26 thousand year old cave painting.

The abrupt point is ground to 80 degrees horizontally and vertically at the top to give you a much stronger tip if you need to “Ram” the knife in order to puncture. You think dinosaurs are tough, check this guy out!
Raptor Strike 2 $335 Click image to enlarge	Steel type: 154CM @ RC 59/60 hardness Steel thickness: .150 in Handle material: Grey Canvas Micarta Bolster material: Carbon Fiber Fittings: Stainless Steel Blade length: 4" Overall length: 8-3/4" Knife weight: 5.4 oz Graphics: "Striking Velociraptor" motif on blade Other: This utility tactical can be described as compact, light and quick just like the raptor on the blade. It has the same blade design as its cousin the “Puma Striker” but is reduced in size to fit a smaller more compact package. This swift little knife would strike me as being a great companion for a walk in the woods.
Trail Tanto (DP) $295 Click image to enlarge	Steel type: 154CM @ RC 59/60 hardness Steel thickness: .150 in Handle material: Tan/Black Canvas Camo-Stripe Micarta Bolster material: Carbon Fiber Fittings: Stainless Steel Blade length: 4" Overall length: 8-3/4" Knife weight: 5.8 oz Graphics: "Velociraptor" motif on blade Other: This is a tanto style blade with the Marzitelli "Diamond Point" (DP) tip. The abrupt grind at the top of the tip of the blade allows for greater strength and tip penetration thus resulting in a stronger tip. This knife is recommended for modern day dinosaur hunters.
The Trail 2 $295 Click image to enlarge	Steel type: 154CM @ RC 59/60 hardness Steel thickness: .150 in Handle material: Cocobolo Rosewood Bolster material: Tan Canvas Micarta Fittings: Brass Blade length: 3-3/4" Overall length: 8-1/2" Knife weight: 5.9 oz Graphics: "Calling Elk" motif on blade Other: The up-swept trailing point of this design lends itself to more precision where tip controll is concerned. This all around light weight knife is great for all outdoor chores. The Elk motif on the blade celebrates the spirit of the Elk.
The Trail $295 Click image to enlarge	Steel type: 154CM @ RC 59/60 hardness Steel thickness: .150 in Handle material: African Ebony Bolster material: Grey Canvas Micarta Fittings: Stainless Steel Blade length: 3-3/4" Overall length: 8-1/2" Knife weight: 5.7 oz Graphics: "Calling Elk" motif on blade Other: Good general purpose drop point design. This a straight forward no nonsense utility knife that will handle most everyday outdoor chores. This light and compact companion should be the pride of every outdoor person be it hunting, hiking or just spending time with nature. The Elk motif on the blade celebrates the spirit of the Elk.
Puma Skinner $295 Click image to enlarge	Steel type: 154CM @ RC 59/60 hardness Steel thickness: .150 in Handle material: Lignum Vitae Bolster material: Grey Canvas Micarta Fittings: Stainless Steel Blade length: 3-3/4" Overall length: 8-5/8" Knife weight: 6.5 oz Graphics: "Chargine Bison" motif on blade Other: All purpose blade design good for skinning, food prep and general utility with great blade geometry for slicing. This old style blade was origionally adapted from turn of the century English butcher knives. When bison was a valuable meat source for the early pioneers of our country, this knife would have faired well. I borrowed this bison design from a 26 thousand year old cave painting.
Puma Striker D $345 Click image to enlarge	Steel type: 154CM @ RC 59/60 hardness Steel thickness: .150 in Handle material: Diamondwood assorted colors Bolster material: Grey Canvas Micarta Fittings: Stainless Steel Blade length: 5" Overall length: 10" Knife weight: 6.6 oz Other: All around general purpose outdoor utility knife. Diamondwood and micarta scales make this knife impervious to water, blood, chemicals, etc… This long straight clip point blade is excellent for tip penetration and fine detailed cutting when the need arises. The smallest splinter can be removed with this tip. I wouldn’t go hiking without it!
Cyborg I $420 Click image to enlarge	Steel type: 154CM @ RC 59/60 hardness Steel thickness: .150 in Handle material: Grey Canvas Micarta with printed circuit board inlays Bolster material: One piece handle Fittings: Brass Blade length: 5" Overall length: 10" Knife weight: 7.2 oz Graphics: "Cyborg skull" motif on blade Other: This heavy duty utility-tactical knife can take a beating. Awesome handle contouring for grip, exposed butt for pounding, multiple lanyard holes for tying or spear making, 2 position assertive thumb grip placement, and the tip? I call the tip “Diamond Point” It’s ground horizontally and vertically at an abrupt 80 degree angle so it will hold up when tip penetration is critical. However, unlike many heavy duty tacticals, this one can slice a tomato super thin.
Smilodon $450 Click image to enlarge	Steel type: CPM 154 @ RC 60/61 hardness Steel thickness: .176 in Handle material: Varoius (dymondwood shown with Swarovski crystal inlays.) Bolster material: Striped G-10 Fittings: Stainless Steel Blade length: 6" Overall length: 11-3/8" Knife weight: 8.8 oz Graphics: "Smilodon" skull on blade Other: This could be described as a good all around medium sized camp knife. However, not so large as to detract from its general purpose and usefulness. The deep swedge on the top of the tip of the spear point blade allows for easy penetration when the situation arises. The exposed butt comes with a built in lanyard hole, glass breaker and impact tool. You want to go for a hike in the woods, you’ve got it covered with this cat.
Sheath Click image to enlarge	All knives come with a heavy duty hand made leather sheath. Each sheath is precisely designed to fit every knife model to exacting tolerances.The sheath is equipped with a sturdy abs swivel clip which allows it to be carried in eight different positions. This way the knife can be carried vertically, horizontally, or at different angles and the angle can be adjusted while being carried. The average weight per sheath for a 9” knife is approx. 3.5 oz.
