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.

Top-Klappmesser in punkto Qualität und Design
Fast perfektes Schneidwerkzeug. Spitzenqualität und hochwertige Komponenten. Nur der Clip bekommt abzug, weil er etwas zu sehr aufträgt. Das ist aber Jammern auf höchstem Niveau. Wirklich ein Top-Messer!
