Gryphon M 35 Survival knife: Seki, Japan
Gryphon M35 Survival/Combat knife was designed by Bob Terzuola.
The Gryphon Knives M-35 Combat Survival Bowie was designed by Bob Terzuola to be a rugged, yet affordable knife. 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.
