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.
