Little mouse

With the Riv, GiantMouse present a model that fans of somewhat more compact knives in particular have long been waiting for. What may look like a Biblio washed too hot at first glance is actually much more.

Visually, the Riv is clearly reminiscent of its big brother at first, but it also fulfills the long-held desire of many fans of Jesper Voxnaes to get a high-end version of the CRKT Pilar - there is a certain similarity here as well. The basic idea behind the Riv was to offer a pocket knife that is small enough to really carry with you wherever you go. Despite the compact dimensions, however, the knife should still be a full-fledged cutting tool that can be used properly.

The handle of the Riv is designed as a framelock, and it's no surprise that an exceedingly good-looking and popular combination of materials is used here in the form of titanium and micarta. To prevent wear in the lock, the lockbar was provided with a stainless steel insert, which also serves as an internal overtravel guard, so that the lock can not be accidentally overstretched when opening. Typical for GiantMouse is the curved wire clip, which allows the knife to disappear deep and barely visible in the pocket. 

For the blade, the manufacturer once again relies on the proven CPM-20CV steel from Böhler, which provides excellent cutting performance and is extremely resistant to rust and corrosion and with its stonewash finish gives a great image.The knife is opened either via the thumb hole or the small flipper tab, which allows the ball-bearing blade to shoot out of the hilt.

 Like all GiantMouse knives, the Riv was named after a special place.

After boss and founder of the brand, Jim Wirth, moved from California to East Lansing/ Michigan in 2020, he remembered a small pub he had visited often as a student at Michigan State University: The Riv. That pub still exists today and will be the breeding ground for many imaginative evenings together for Wirth, Ansø and Voxnaes in the future.

Like the GiantMouse Sonoma, the Riv is entirely manufactured by Reate.

Warn-/Sicherheitshinweis:

Schnittverletzungen: Die häufigste Gefahr bei der Verwendung von Messern ist das Risiko von Schnittverletzungen. 

Scharfe Klingen können schnell durch Haut und Gewebe dringen. Abrutschen des Messers: Ein unsachgemäßes oder zu starkes Drücken kann dazu führen, dass das Messer abrutscht und unkontrollierte Bewegungen entstehen, die Verletzungen verursachen können. Verletzungen durch 
Stürze: Messer sollten niemals ungesichert oder in der Nähe von Tischkanten abgelegt werden, um zu verhindern, dass sie herunterfallen und jemanden verletzen. 

Stumpfe Messer: Stumpfe Messer stellen ein größeres Verletzungsrisiko dar, da sie mehr Kraft erfordern und leichter abrutschen können. Messer sollten daher regelmäßig sachgemäß nachgeschärft werden. 
Nicht bestimmungsgemäße Nutzung: Das Verwenden eines Messers für Aufgaben, für die es nicht vorgesehen ist (z.B. als Hebelwerkzeug), kann nicht nur die Klinge beschädigen, sondern auch zu Unfällen führen.

GiantMouse GMF1 Classic
Giantmouse GMF1 Classic Does it always have to be a folding knife?  We say: No! In recent years, one type of knife has become particularly popular: the small pocket fixed blade. With the GiantMouse GMF1-C you get a small but incredibly sturdy knife that comes with a well fitted, hand made in Italy leather sheath to carry in your pocket or on the belt. With a total length of only 138 mm and its low weight, this small fixed blade knife hardly takes up any space. The entire knife is milled from one solid piece of Böhler N690 steel, which is considered to be one of the most versatile steels of our time.The highly rust-resistant steel alloy has the ability to hold an edge for a very long time. While still being relatively easily to resharpen the GMF1-C can master the cutting tasks of everyday life with flying colors. The skeletonized handle of the GMF1 has deliberately not been equipped with scales, which of course has a positive effect on weight cutting, but also allows you to apply a Paracord wrapping of your choice. Thanks to the slightly curved handle, the GMF1-C fits very well in the hand - only very large hands might have difficulties here and could use a lanyard for additional support.

GiantMouse ACE Sonoma Satin

GiantMouse ACE Sonoma Satin     Made by Reate Knives     Frame Lock     Milled clip     M390 steel  Little mouse from overseas What are the two Danish designers Jesper Voxnaes and Jens Ansø doing to get inspiration for a new knife? Well, we don't know exactly, but the name of the new Sonoma suggests that the county of the same name in Northern California may have played a role. The rocky coastal region is home to countless vineyards and is considered one of Northern California's most beautiful places. Here you can easily stay while thinking about a new knife.With the new ACE Sonoma, GiantMouse once again approaches the very limited GM series and delivers a knife that offers some special features for the ACE series. First of all GiantMouse surprised with the news that this model is not manufactured in Italy as usual, but at Reate in China. The company, founded by David Deng, is considered one of the most precise production facilities in the world and Reate knives enjoy an excellent reputation.By now it's the only ACE line model with a frame lock. This was previously only known from the very limited GM series. The handle of the Sonoma is milled from solid titanium, while the lockbar has a steel insert to minimize wear. The lateral bevels on the titanium shells let the knife sit wonderfully in the hand.The M390 steel blade runs on ball bearings located in the blade pivot, which itself run on steel washers to prevent wear on the titanium. The bearings are also much better protected against dirt. The elongated, bellied blade shape, which tapers finely towards the tip and has a rounded back. This creates an extremely elegant and tasteful shape, which together with the handle provides a very aesthetic overall picture. A further detail is the detent ramp milled into the blade heel. The small Flipper Tab lets the blade flip out of the handle quickly and provides a tremendous amount of fun.Details such as the bronze anodized backspacer, the matching pivot collar and the solid milled pocket clip in the same color round off the overall picture. With the Sonoma, GiantMouse has taken the next step and built a knife that has amazed even die-hard fans of the brand. If you are looking for a flipper knife with lots of great details and a first-class finish, we strongly recommend the GiantMouse Sonoma!One additional deepcarry clip is included. Available in two versions:Tumbled Titanium / Satin Finish BladePVD Stonewashed / Stonewashed blade
