Description:
This beautiful knife is made by the famous and renowned knifemaker in Arizona- Howard "Howie" Jay Viele, he passed away on March 17, 2019, at 78 years old. He was a draftsman and sharpshooter in the US Army National Guard, a self- employed custom knifemaker for over 40 yrs and a 5th degree (Godan rank) black belt in karate.
Produced in the year 2002 with a limited quantity (Unknown) and a small number brought into the UK, the Viele Wasp is a collectors dream.
 
The scales are G10, in a custom laminate of alternating blue and black fiberglass unique to CRKT, contoured to fit the hand, and minimally textured for a sure grip. A custom, Teflon plated, removable stainless steel pocket clip completes the package. Of course, both the pocket clip and blade are identified by Vieles trademark triple holes. Known for high performance knives that reflect his distinctive personal style, Howard Viele based the design for the Wasp on one of his most popular custom pieces, incorporating a level of detail that is rare in a production knife.
