Overview

Word on the street is that Clyde's big brother has finally rolled into town, and he's as bold as a black coffee at a 24-hour diner. The new kid on the block goes by the name of "X," and once you see him you’ll know he's Clyde's brotha from… the same motha. And man is he ever cool! He’s the Wilbur to Orville, the Frank to Jesse, the Groucho to Zeppo.

Just like his little bro, the GMX embodies the fusion of Scandinavian and Japanese design with a touch of Persian influence, but with the added moxie you’d expect in a GM Line knife. This baby's got an integral Titanium handle with a brass inlaid bolster that's cooler than Miles Davis on a hot tin roof, and an S90V blade that's never been seen before on a GiantMouse knife - so you know you're getting the top-notch goods.

So buckle up - the long awaited launch of Clyde’s big brother is on the horizon, and so is your opportunity to own a piece of GiantMouse history with our 10th GM Line knife.

Given the very limited quantity of each of these models, each customer is limited to one GMX and one GMPX. Once the units are sold, the design will be discontinued.

About the Maker

Giant Mouse Knives

GiantMouse LCC is based in California. American owned and Danish by design. Our goal at GiantMouse is to combine amazing knife designs, with the highest possible production quality, at a fair price. The designers behind the GiantMouse brand are world-renowned Danish knife makers and designers Jesper Voxnaes (Vox) and Jens Ansø. Vox and Ansø both grew up in the rural outskirts of Denmark, spending their days sailing on the North Sea, fishing the fjords, hunting in the surrounding woods and exploring the great outdoors. All of which required them to always be accompanied by a good knife. In the hunt for the best possible knife, Jesper and Jens each started making custom knives in 1989. The idea of a joint venture between Vox and Ansø had been brewing for years. But it wasn't until 2014 when they were sitting in a bar with a good friend who started asking them questions about their individual design processes, and how they licensed their designs. This lead to Vox and Ansø explaining that they enjoy designing together, and that they have collaborated on a number of interesting design ideas. So their friend simply asked ""why not produce these?? and expressed his interest in helping on the business end of things. A few pints later, the idea of GiantMouse Knives was born, a partnership was formed, and the planning had begun for a high-end knife brand with limited numbered knives, of highest possible production quality, designed by Ansø and Vox. GiantMouse knives are not 'mid-techs' or 'semi-custom', nor have they been assembled or sharpened by Ansø and Vox. However, every GiantMouse knife is designed entirely by Ansø and Vox, and each phase of production is performed in VERY close cooperation with the two designers. To keep GiantMouse a cutting-edge brand Ansø and Vox came up with the idea that only 400 pieces of each folder design would be produced. 300 would be a standard version, and another 100 pieces (25%) would be made in a special version and marked as such. After the 400 knives are made, the design is discontinued! This will make it interesting for the designers, as well as the collectors and end-users, and hopefully keep everyone on their toes in times to come.

Anso, Jens

"I have been a knife maker since 1988 and have been full time since 2001. I started making knives in 1988 after reading an article in an old issue of Popular Mechanics and I made my first knife out of a big file using a bench grinder and a drill press as the only powertools. It was big and crude but I was very proud. Since then I have been hooked on knife making. My knowledge in knife making comes from reading books and magazines about knife making, corresponding with other knife makers and not the least learning by trial and error. I also credit the various forums about knives and knife making both for information, customers and friends. I have always had a great interest in craftsmanship and get inspired by all sorts of things ranging from traditional Japanese carpentry to modern architecture. I have a master degree in Industrial Design which has helped me a lot in refining my knife designs. After graduating I decided to become a full time maker and although it has been hard at times I have never looked back. I like being able to do what I like the most and enjoy being my own boss. I feel very fortunate that I can make a living of something I love so much. My workshop is my cave. I love being in the shop surrounded by tools and materials. Being able to do creative work everyday is a blessing."
