GiantMouse is releasing its newest and coolest knife: the ACE Nazca. This new blade was named after the famous Nazca Lines found in the desert of southern Peru. According to the website, “When Ansø and Vox design a knife, or even discuss a knife’s design, the conversation always involves ‘lines.’ Always.”

The ACE Nazca Sports Impressive Features

The ACE Nazca is GiantMouse’s first knife to feature a cross-bar lock. Complete with Böhler M390 MICROCLEAN stainless steel with a satin finish, the ACE Nazca has a 3.15-inch blade with a .138-inch blade thickness. The overall length of the knife is 7.48-inches. In addition to the cross-bar lock, the knife also has a brass backspacer and is available in green canvas Micarta and titanium. The titanium version weighs 4.5 ounces, while the green canvas Micarta weighs 4 ounces. The titanium version of the ACE Nazca retails for $285.00, and the green canvas Micarta retails for $225.00.

 

The History of Giant Mouse

Founded in 2015, the idea of GiantMouse was formed over drinks during a U.S. knife show. Danish knife makers Jens Ansø and Jesper Voxnaes, along with their American friend Jim Wirth decided to create a knife brand “that can provide amazing knife designs, with the highest possible production quality, at a fair price, while remaining closely involved with its community of customers.” No GiantMouse knife is manufactured without the approval of Jens and Jesper. Each GiantMouse knife undergoes exhaustive reviews and testing of prototypes before being approved for release to consumers.
