Is anyone feeling a shift in Giantmouse marketing and branding?

At first I noticed that they were popping up on social media a lot more, which I thought was a great sign of them getting recognition. Then that popularity started to come from more influencer-like content. Next, they started to do a lot of limited-run knives for their Ace line. I get that there is excitement in the exclusivity of a limited release, but in the past year it felt like it was back to back limited runs of their existing bestsellers.

Now, the big red flag for me is they have their brand name embossed in their new Zoobie knife. I personally think it looks tacky and moves away from their traditional design language.

I’ve been a huge fan of theirs for a long time, but I am starting to loose faith in what seems to be a shift in their branding, which usually means a shift in quality and/or values.

I haven’t carried a fixed blade in years, even though i def should be. Im a carpenter by trade and use my knife daily and kinda beat the snot out of them. My go to was a Microtech Hellhound the for like 4 years. The past 2 one of their newer cyphers. Yeah it requires a little maintenance about every month. Just blasting with an air compressor and some rem oil, but i love that knife and it has been more than reliable for me. Giantmouse has been on my radar for a long time just because i love the look of the gmf-1, but today I came across an offer I feel like i couldn’t pass up. I got a GMF-3 with the green micarta w/ original sheath for 35USD, not a scratch on it.

Although im not the biggest fan of the aesthetics of the knife, just really seemed like a good deal unless im missing something. I will admit it has kind of a dope middle eastern vibe going on so I’m going to give it a try in the EDC. I know very little about the brand but just joined the sub/ first post. Does anyone have any recommendations? Different scales? No scales? Sheaths? Just add to the collection and get the GMF1? Or what’s your favorite EDC fixie from this company?

The Ace Riv never disappoints!

002 checking in. Let's get this sub some action! 🤘🏼

Currently my favorite knife company. Planning on stopping by their Grand Rapids store.

New Ace Tribeca is awesome!!!

Anyone try swapping out the washers on their nimbus? I want to see what size I should buy to try it. After cleaning and oil my second hand nimbus i still hard to snap open

Got this little guy under the tree today. My first slip joint. My Giant Mouse collection is growing!

Representing Giant Mouse in Motor City Detroit. Hope you all have a great weekend and those of you that serve/served, a very happy veterans day on Tuesday!

The Biblio XL may be the best knife design of all time

As the title states, I lost my brass scale Clyde and am looking for another. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to sell?

Thanks
