Ketuo Knife - Griffin V3

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

The Griffin V3 marks the next evolution in Ketuo’s acclaimed design, bringing a tactical edge and a futuristic aesthetic into a truly refined everyday carry. Designed by David Jin, whose background in firearms and industrial design fuels his focus on both form and function, the Griffin V3 draws inspiration from the sharp, angular lines of Gundam-style mecha—a nod to his childhood influences growing up in South Korea.

With an overall length of 8.52" (21.6cm) and a weight of 4.7oz, the Griffin V3 is perfectly sized for both pocket carry and hard-use tasks. The 3.55" (9cm) harpoon-style spear point blade is crafted from premium Bohler M390 steel, offering excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. A hand-rubbed satin finish or smooth bead blast coating completes the look, giving users a choice between classic and performance.

Version 3 brings several key upgrades. A newly integrated lock bar relief has been added for smoother one-handed closure and improved access to the button lock mechanism. The front flipper tab has also been redesigned for faster, more confident deployment. Paired with a ceramic ball bearing pivot, the Griffin V3 offers a glass-smooth action with multiple deployment methods, including a thumb hole.

The titanium handle scales feature precision machining and a bold forged carbon fiber inlay, adding both visual contrast and lightweight strength. The floating backspacer doubles as an integrated lanyard loop, tying together form and function into a unified design.

Whether you’re drawn to its futuristic styling or its precision-engineered functionality, the Griffin V3 delivers a premium knife experience worthy of your daily rotation.
