Introducing the ACE Atelier by GiantMouse Knives

Monday, March 13th, 2023

East Lansing, Michigan, March 9, 2023 – Today, GiantMouse is excited to introduce the latest addition to our ACE Line of knives – The Atelier. Crafted with the same attention to detail and quality materials as all our knives, the ACE Atelier is a testament to our commitment to excellence. With its stylish design and exceptional craftsmanship, the ACE Atelier is sure to become a favorite among knife enthusiasts and collectors alike, and we can’t wait for you to experience its beauty and performance for yourself.

The Atelier is a design that many of our customers have been asking for; a “mini” version of the ACE Grand. Although the Atelier is influenced by the Grand, we didn’t just shrink the Grand into a “mini” version. To do it right, we redesigned the model to be a culmination of classic design with modern innovations, providing you with a tool that is truly perfect for your everyday cutting needs.

You may know that an Atelier is a workshop or studio, typically used by artists and designers to create their masterpieces. And that’s exactly what we’ve done with the ACE Atelier – crafted a stunning knife that’s sure to impress. What makes this knife extra special is its namesake. What you probably don’t know, is that the “Atelier” is an amazing art-deco inspired bar, located inside of the Grand Hotel for which the ACE Grand was named, and is a favorite watering hole of the GiantMouse Team when staying in Nuremberg, Germany.

Available in both Titanium and Green Canvas Micarta scales, the Atelier sports a Satin-finished Elmax steel blade.

The blade length is 2.875” (73.03mm), measured from tip to forward-most aspect of the frame, and 0.127” (3.24mm) thick. The handle is 4” (101.6mm) long, giving the knife an overall length of 6.81” (173mm). The Titanium weighs in at 4.2oz (120g) and the Green Canvas weighs in at 3.3oz (95g).

The nonprofit provides valuable information for knife owners to carry and use their knives and edged tools with confidence by providing accurate laws and other valuable information.

The SOG giveaway is free to enter and will be held for two weeks – March 6-20. One winner will be chosen for a grand prize package that includes a folding knife, a multi-tool, and a fixed-blade knife. The prize package is valued at more than $500. To enter, click here.

“We’re incredibly fortunate to have the leading brands in the knife industry step up and assist in promoting our mission,” said Mark Schreiber, President of CRKT and President of AKTI. “While we celebrate our 25th anniversary year, these giveaways are one way for us to stay engaged with the knife community that supports our advocacy and education work.”

Other giveaways are planned this year, as is the annual Free to Carry auction that features an outstanding mix of production and custom knives.

Enforce Tac 23 – Benchmade Claymore

Thursday, March 2nd, 2023

Designed as a replacement for the long serving AFO, the Claymore is lighter, thinner, and faster opening.

Also an automatic opener, they’ve improved the blade steel to CPM-D2 and moved the pocket clip for deep carry. Additionally, Benchmade moved the safety and enlarged it to make it easier to manipulate.

If all that wasn’t enough, it’s also cheaper than the AFO.

The Claymore has been issued NSN 1095-01-796-1907.

CRKT Introduces Two New American-Made Folders, the Definitive and LCBK

Wednesday, January 25th, 2023

New for 2023, Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) is pleased to release two new American-made folding knives, the Definitive and LCBK. Crafted in conjunction with Hogue Knives, these new premium offerings sprung from the minds of renowned designers MJ and Matthew Lerch respectively. Both feature top quality materials, a striking blend of aesthetics and performance, and include the intuitive, fully ambidextrous Crossbar Lock.

Definitive ($215)

Made in the USA, this folding knife from designer MJ Lerch is one of the first CRKT knives to incorporate a Crossbar Lock. Fast, smooth, and fully ambidextrous, the Crossbar Lock is easy to operate and very fidget friendly.

The Definitive balances its elegant and understated appearance with extreme durability. The 3.7-inch drop point blade uses 154CM steel, providing exceptional strength and edge retention, while its black G10 handle offers solid all-weather grip.

With a deep-carry pocket clip and overall weight of just 3 ounces, the Definitive will rest comfortably and discreetly in your pocket. Not that you’ll want to leave it there long.

Specs:

Blade: Length: 3.70″ (93.98 mm)
Edge: Plain
Steel: 154CM
Finish: Stonewash
Thickness: .13” (3.18mm)
Closed: 4.91” (124.82 mm)
Open: 8.63” (219.08 mm)
Weight: 3.0 oz. (85.05 g)
Handle: G10
HRC: 58-61
Style: Folding Knife w/
Crossbar Lock

LCBK ($215)

The LCBK, or Lightweight Crossbar Knife, is a high-end everyday carry distilled down to the essentials. Quality materials and craftsmanship that give you everything you need and nothing you don’t. One of the first CRKT knives to feature a Crossbar Lock, it’s fast, sturdy, and fully ambidextrous.

Designed by Matthew Lerch and made in the USA, the LCBK combines a striking appearance with high performance. The aggressively angular stonewashed blade looks rugged and ready for business, and thanks to the exceptional edge retention of its 154CM steel, it is. Simple and effective, the black G10 handle is lightweight and offers good grip in all weather conditions.

But while its design readily commands attention when in use, the LCBK can vanish just as easily, thanks to its minimal weight of 2.8 ounces and included deep-carry pocket clip. It’s a true premium everyday carry, combining high-performance materials, American manufacturing, and all-day comfort.

Specs:

Blade: Length: 3.48″ (88.47mm)
Edge: Plain
Steel: 154CM
Finish: Bead Blast
Thickness: .12” (3.12mm)
Closed: 4.50” (114.30 mm)

Weight: 2.8 oz. (79.38 g)
Handle: G10
HRC: 58-61
Style: Folding Knife w/ Crossbar Lock
