Giant Mouse ACE Clyde - Satin N690 Upswept Blade - Red Aluminum Handle

Giant Mouse knives, which are each designed in collaboration between Danish knifemakers Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes, brings many solid pieces to the market without burning too big of a hole in your pocket. Anso, Voxnaes and American entrepreneur Jim Wirth have come together to create a growing and popular brand of knives that look great in your pocket and function as good as or better than expected.

The Giant Mouse ACE line is their most well-known and available line of blades. Manufactured with no limit, the goal of the ACE line is to get high-quality, yet affordable Anso & Vox designs into the hands of blade lovers.

The ACE Clyde is a very intriguing, yet comfortable and easy to use EDC knife. Being that Giant Mouse gave this blade such an odd description, we’re going to quote them on this model.

“Meet Clyde... 

More "folk" than "lore."

More "urban" than "legend."

More "goofus" than "gallant."

Maybe it's our fault that Clyde turned out the way he did. After all, we did name him after our favorite watering hole in Portland, “The Clyde Common”, located at the ACE Hotel in Pearl district. And we did create him as a mix of Scandinavia meets Japan and flirts with the Persians - no good lovechild could come from that….or could it? Well, we surely think so!

The new Aluminum Clyde was made in honor of Clyde's mom’s house... or camper actually, the 1969 pink tint Airstream that Clyde grew up in until his thirteenth birthday when he joined the Flea Circus... but that’s a different story.

For the Aluminum Clyde, we used N690 steel for the upswept blade. The handle looks smaller than it feels, just like Clyde claims in other matters, and the ergonomics of the knife may surprise you given its simple lines.

We think that Clyde is the perfect EDC knife, and, if you haven’t noticed yet, it has a ton of attitude that will set it apart!”
