Gryphon Knives M-35 Combat Survival Bowie - 7.5" AUS-8A Bowie Blade - Kydex Sheath w/Malice Clips

The Gryphon Knives M-35 Combat Survival Bowie was designed 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. Each M-35 includes a friction-fit black Kydex sheath that's outfitted with two Tactical Tailor Malice clips for belt or pack attachment. This rugged sheath is custom made for the M-35 by Survival Sheath Systems.

More about AUS-8A steel:
The words "stainless steel" are misleading, because, in fact, all steel will stain or show discoloration if left in adverse conditions for a sufficient time. Steel is made "stainless" by adding chromium and reducing its carbon content during the smelting process. There is a serious performance trade-off with stainless steel. As the chromium increases and the carbon decreases, the steel becomes more "stainless". But, it also becomes more and more difficult to sharpen, and the edge-holding potential is seriously impaired. This is usually why most stainless knives are rarely razor-sharp and quickly lose what little edge they have. In contrast, Gryphon Knives uses AUS 8A Stainless, a high carbon, low chromium steel that has proven itself to be the ultimate compromise between toughness and strength, edge holding, and resistance to corrosion.

    Posted by Onehikes on Jun 9th 2023

    This is a great knife, powerful but well balanced - almost 50-50. It is made in Seki, Japan of AUS 8A steel, an enduring combo.

    M-35 plus Sheath

    Posted by kevin on Dec 9th 2021

    this is a great deal! Large knife but not too heavy. Full tang, AUS8 is a good choice of steel, not too hard to sharpen (easily sharpened by just about any method), takes a keen edge and has good corrosion resistance. Hilt is slightly soft for a great grip. The sheath by survival systems is top notch and far better than any sheath found at anything close to this price point.

    You truly cannot beat the performance for $

    Posted by Kevin Auman on May 14th 2021

    This thing is an absolute tank! It batons, it feathers, it strikes a ferro rod with ease and it can hold up to damn near anything you would want to put it through! Overall value far exceeds the price even it were to cost double so get one, heck buy two I know I am

    Survival Bowie Knife...

    Posted by john nemes on May 30th 2020

    ... customer service and shipping are fantastic! I bought the knife and the sheath separately @ two different times. "Survival Lilly" on YouTUBE made her custom survival Knife and it sure resemble this one! Japan makes the best AUS8 steel in the world. A large, extremely fast knife that will get you out of any sticky situation. Highly Recommend. Get One...


    (thanks Jeff)

    To say that I am very pleased with this knife is an understatement. The size is robust and, in my opinion, just right for a camp knife. I will probably carry it in my pack when hiking and camping. The knife has a VERY rugged feel and balances just ahead of the guard...should be a good chopper. Although it is large, it isn't overly heavy. I can't wait to try this one out on some heavy cutting. The single guard adds utility to the knife as a camp/utility knife. The blade shape and size is very similar to the Randall 14. The sheath is excellent and well-thought-out. I have some other pieces of Spec-ops brand gear and their stuff is always top-notch. This package is an amazing buy considering the quality of the knife and the superb sheath system and would still be a bargain at twice the price.
