Ketuo Knife - Griffin (V3.2)

Futuristic design, refined mechanics, and EDC-ready performance.

The Griffin V3.2 represents the continued evolution of one of Ketuo’s most recognizable designs, bringing new refinement and visual depth to an already standout model. This latest version introduces an improved lock bar relief for smoother operation and two striking new colorways, including a limited edition mirror-polished blade paired with a titanium handle and copper foil inlays.

Designed by David Jin, the Griffin series blends tactical performance with futuristic aesthetics, influenced by his background in firearms and industrial design. The bold, angular lines take cues from Gundam-style mecha, a reflection of Jin’s early inspirations and his commitment to modern, functional artistry.

Measuring 8.52" (21.6 cm) overall and weighing 4.7 oz, the Griffin V3.2 is built for balanced performance. Its 3.55" (9 cm) harpoon-style spear point blade is made from premium Böhler M390 stainless steel, known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Users can choose between a hand-rubbed satin finish for a refined appearance or a bead-blasted and coated version for added durability.

Version 3.2 brings notable mechanical updates. The new lock bar relief allows for smoother one-handed closing, while the redesigned front flipper tab ensures faster, more consistent deployment. Combined with a ceramic ball-bearing pivot system, the Griffin delivers the signature fluid action that Ketuo knives are known for, with multiple deployment options including a thumb hole.

The titanium handle features detailed machining and a forged carbon fiber inlay that enhances both grip and aesthetic contrast. A floating backspacer with an integrated lanyard loop completes the design, showcasing Ketuo’s attention to structural balance and precision fitment.

The Griffin V3.2 exemplifies Ketuo’s pursuit of continuous improvement, merging futuristic styling with fine mechanical tuning. From its smooth action to its sculpted form, every detail reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation worthy of any modern collection.
