 The GiantMouse Iona – So much knife for so little money!


If you're looking for a lightweight, small knife that's just as good as a big folder, we'd like to introduce you to the GiantMouse Iona.

This is an amazingly lightweight knife that is nevertheless an absolutely serious tool for everyday use. In contrast to the other versions of the Iona, here FRN is used as handle material. This fiberglass composite is not only very lightweight but also incredibly strong and durable.

Hidden under the handle material there is a liner made of Asis 420 stainless steel, which also serves to lock the blade when the knife is open. For the opposite handle, the manufacturer has come up with something pretty clever: instead of anchoring the screws for the stop pin and blade axis directly in the FRN, a kind of mini-liner was used to hold all screws for the knife's pivot. This makes the whole construction more stable and above all more durable.

The blade is made of M390 Microclean steel from Böhler, which is one of the absolute super steels of our time. This powder-metallurgical alloy is not only extremely rust-resistant but also has an exceptional cutting performance.

The deep carry clip made of a thick, bent steel wire, can be attached on both sides and lets the Iona disappear discreetly behind the hem of the trouser pocket. All in all, with the Iona from GiantMouse you get a lightweight, compact and yet absolutely solid knife, which is available in three colors.

In our opinion, the absolute price/performance cracker!

Viel Licht, eine Spur Schatten

Ein klasse Messer. Die Klinge ist top, Griff und Griffmaterial mag man oder eben nicht, aber der Linerlock ist deutlich zu fummelig um top zu sein. Würde ich das Messer nochmals kaufen? Ja, jederzeit.

Giantmouse ACE Nimbus V2 Micarta
Giantmouse Nimbus V2 Micarta  New revised version Design by Jesper Voxnaes and Jens Anso Green micarta handle and Elmax blade This novelty makes the hearts of many fans of the big mouse beat faster: the Nimbus, one of the very early designs of GiantMouse, gets an update. Although a lot has changed, the knife has basically remained the same. The GiantMouse Nimbus is still not a saint - as the name of the knife suggests. On the contrary: this knife is a merciless workhorse with which you can really nibble something away.   Voxnaes and Anso were inspired by the old Danish motorcycle brand Nimbus, which was built from 1915 until late in the 1950s. Now you are right to ask what a knife has to do with a motorcycle.  But the comparison is actually quite accurate: the motorcycle was not so much a racing machine as a 'workhorse', which also scored well in the off-road sector. With exactly this philosophy in mind, the Nimbus was designed.   A knife without frills and a blade that represents a modern interpretation of the Nordic puuko shape, with a bulbous curve that leads to a fine but robust tip that allows for fine cuts without any problems.   The function of the knife was also the main consideration in the choice of materials. The V2 version uses a 3D contoured Micarta, as we know it from the GiantMouse Ace Biblio. Micarta is not only very robust but can also be easily cleaned with a little water after work.    The liners, made of Asis 420 stainless steel, make the knife even more stable and the Liner Lock ensures that the blade is securely locked when open. In contrast to the first version, the Nimbus V2 now has washers made of phosphor bronze, which provide a little more stability and are very easy to clean. Also the blade has been updated: Böhler's Elmax steel is one of the best blade steels currently available in the industry. Here you get a 3.5mm thick blade, which is equally rust-resistant, tough and has good cutting properties and can handle even tougher cutting tasks effortlessly.   The Nimbus is clearly a real working knife that will find a new home in your toolbox, jacket pocket or work trousers.

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.
