Designed to feel like an extension of your hand, the Peter Marzitelli-designed Black Tusk Dire Wolf is a study in ergonomics, toughness and versatility. Its clip point blade uses D2 steel for durability and a long-lasting edge, giving the Dire Wolf a strong tip that can easily penetrate, yet remains fine enough for delicate tasks. The subtle recurve that leads into the Marzitelli-stylized choil enhances slicing, while the choil allows for more efficient sharpening, lengthening the life of your knife. Beautifully finished, its bead-blasted handle features exaggerated jimping to give the Dire Wolf a comfortable and secure grip. Comes with a sturdy black leather sheath with an open-pouch design for ease of access. Peter Marzitelli discovered knifemaking in 1982 and promptly taught himself every facet of the process, from design to leatherwork. He soon became a celebrated Canadian designer known as one of the top knife makers in the world. Using only the highest grade of materials and his boundless creativity in each piece, knives are coveted worldwide for both their form and function and Black Tusk is proud to have produced one of his designs. .
