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.

Tip top! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wie immer alles rundum perfekt! Besten Dank! Das Nimbus V2 ist eine wirklich gelungene Neuerung in der Ace Line von Giantmouse. Der erste Eindruck ist sehr gut und ich bin mir sicher, dass man lange Freude an diesem schönen Messer haben kann.

Liebe trifft Charakter

Klingenspiel gab es bei meinem Exemplar natürlich ebenso und das ganze lies sich nicht über reines nachziehen der Achsschraube eliminieren ohne die Einhandöffnung zu gefährden. Torx T6 und T8 brachten aber Abhilfe indem das Messer gereinigt und frisch geölt, eine perfekt gleitende Klinge ohne spürbares Klingenspiel offenbart. Großes Gefallen finden die vielen kleinen Details wie der runde Klingenrücken oder die abgerundete Fingermulde in der Klinge, das perfekte Jimping und die innen im Griff liegende Lasergravur runden das Bild ab. Ein Messer das nicht nur in seinem Charakter und Dimension gefällt, sondern auch gut transportiert, wieviel Liebe der Designer in Details versteckt hat. Der halbe Stern Abzug ist der Verriegelung geschuldet, welche bei meinem Exemplar im geschlossenen Zustand perfekt ist, bei geöffneter Klinge diese ca 1,5mm überragt.

Sehr schönes Messer mit kleinen Makeln

Material, Verarbeitung, Haptik, Optik, alles wirklich toll! Einen halben Stern Abzug gibt es für ein klein wenig Klingenspiel und einen weiteren halben Stern für den nicht ganz perfekten Clip. Beide Punkte stören bei leichten bis mittelschweren Aufgaben aber nur marginal, denn alles andere, zum Beispiel die Out of the box Schärfe, ist absolut top! Insofern eine klare Empfehlung meinerseits!

Leichtes Klingenspiel und nach anziehen der Achsschraube, ohne Klingenspiel nichtmehr Einhändig zu öffnen. Ich hoffe es spielt sich noch etwas ein. Ansonsten recht zufriedenstellend und wirklich sehr scharf.

Nicht perfekt macht dennoch einen guten Eindruck

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 ACE Sonoma Satin
Version: 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

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.
