GiantMouse ACE Nimbus V2 – Satin Bohler M390 Drop Point Blade – Green Canvas Micarta Handle – Manual Thumb Hole Liner Lock – Maniago, Italy

GiantMouse Knives boasts an array of high-quality knives at an affordable price. An idea sparked over drinks at a US knife show in 2015, world renowned knife designers Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes are behind the design of these impressive pieces that feature mostly manual flippers and thumb hole openers. GiantMouse knives are produced in either Maniago, Italy, or by reliable China-based manufactures including Reate and Bestech. Most GiantMouse knives have a Scandanavian influenced profile, and you can often tell who designed them at first glance. Us at SRKT began carrying GiantMouse knives in 2021 and are beyond happy with the pieces that we have seen. Additionally, GiantMouse comes out with new models often, and their designs seem to keep getting better. Whether you prefer thumb studs/holes, flipper tabs, or slipjoints, GiantMouse is sure to have a knife that you’ll love to have in your pocket everyday. High-grade steels, titanium, micarta and more are used by GiantMouse, resulting in dependable knives that are easy to sharpen and difficult to beat up. We’ve noticed that GiantMouse knives clearly have a high level of attention to detail, as the ergonomics and function of each of their models is astounding. Additionally, Anso and Voxnaes tend to name GM knives after places or things that have important meaning to them, adding an extra touch of designer-personality. Their standard line, ACE, their fixed blades, and their 400-piece limited GM line all boast a number of pieces that do nothing but impress.

The Nimbus V2 – one of GiantMouse’s few non-flippers – is still extremely smooth and easy to open one-handed. A perfectly placed and sized thumb hole allows for rapid action, and the liner lock allows for an extremely reliable lock-up. Often overlooked, as some people prefer a flipper, the Nimbus is one of the best thumb hole openers on the market. A Nimbus carrier will have no issue opening and closing their knife with one hand – and the reversible wire pocket clip allows the same for lefties. Made with Nordic tools and the outdoorsman in mind, the guys at GiantMouse gave the Nimbus V2 a strong puuku-like blade shape with a thin edge and high full flat grind. Voxnaes and Anso call this knife their take on a “tool knife”, and its dependability proves them correct, as always. Names after a classic Danish motorcycle known for its utilitarian design and function.

This Nimbus V2 we have comes with green canvas micarta scales and a satin finished Bohler-Uddenholm ELMAX drop point blade with a plain edge. As is with many of their main-line knives, this model comes with a stainless wire pocket clip and stainless hardware.
