GiantMouse ACE Atelier Folding Knife 2.875" Elmax Satin Titanium Handles (Italy)
The GiantMouse ACE Atelier knife is available now. This model, based on the GM5, is an EDC-friendly variation of the popular Grand.
With the GM5, GiantMouse set out to create what they felt would be a “magnum opus” - the ultimate GiantMouse folder to date. A cool design with an even cooler look and finish. The GM5 was the kind of folder that checks all boxes;
Awesome materials
Great ergonomics
Perfect fit and finish
Great steel
Carries nicely
Bold appearance
The ACE Atelier meets all the criteria, while GiantMouse made further modifications aside from size. The GiantMouse team selected an American-made Canvas Micarta for the rounded scales and used nested liners and a strong liner lock. They kept the large, stout backspacer (in brass) for strength and incorporated a deep carry wire pocket clip, allowing for comfortable carrying.
The Elmax steel blade was designed to be suitable for a variety of uses and it has been maintained with the same specifications used in the GM5. The Saber Flat Grind produces a strong blade suitable for slicing and the pronounced swedge enables sharp penetration without sacrificing tip strength.
The Name
The Atelier was named after one of Jens' and Jesper's favorite bars in one of their favorite hotels on their yearly tour of shows. The Grand Hotel Nuremberg is an old hotel with a long history and a GREAT bar! When the GiantMouse team is in Nuremberg for the IWA Outdoor Classics show every march, most evenings either begin or end (sometimes both) at Atelier Bar at the Grand Hotel.
