This video reviews the Gryphon M-10 tactical folder by Cutlery Shoppe, designed by Bob Terzuola. The reviewer highlights the knife's VG10 steel, noting its exceptional sharpness out-of-the-box and impressive edge retention after extensive testing, including cardboard stabbing and cutting. The full-tanged construction is described as rugged, and the black DLC coating is praised for its durability and anti-reflection properties. The 4" spearpoint blade is considered a good size for tactical use, though the reviewer personally prefers larger fixed blades for reach. The Zytel handle offers good traction, though the squared shoulders are noted as a minor point. The Mike Sastre-designed sheath receives high praise for its perfect fit, rattle-free design, and versatile carry options (IWB, upside down, horizontal, vertical). The knife's lightweight (6 oz) and reliability make it a strong contender for EDC or as a backup edged weapon. The overall value is considered high due to the handmade sheath and blade toughness. The reviewer gives it a Likability Scale score of 8.5/10.
