Gryphon M 35 Survival knife: Seki, Japan

Gryphon M35 Survival/Combat knife

 The Gryphon Knives M-35 Combat Survival Bowie was designed by Bob Terzuola to be a rugged, yet affordable knife. In 1979, Terzuola began making knives and joined the Knifemakers' Guild in 1981 on an endorsement from Bob Loveless. Bob Terzuola is credited for the term “Tactical Knives” for his work designing folding knives. Reminiscent of the classic Randall Knives Model 14 Attack, the Gryphon M-35 is well suited for use as a field, camp, survival, and if need be - a combat knife. The razor sharp 7.5" bowie style blade features a generous choil for extra blade control during close-up work. The blade steel is Japanese AUS-8A, which is well proven since first made popular in the 1980's. The shock absorbing Kraton handle is deeply checkered for a dependable non-slip grip. Its full-length tang is exposed for added strength and versatility. The M-35 includes a friction-fit black Kydex sheath. Every blade has a small mark indicating it was Rockwell hardness tested.
