GiantMouse Nimbus V2 brings back this hardworking EDC folder with a modern style inspired by the classic Finnish Puukko with the same utilitarian design motivation: to be used. The V2 gets the following upgrades: a stonewashed Elmax blade riding on phosphor bronze washers and contoured natural canvas Micarta scales with better access to the hole opener.
Brand new, direct from GiantMouse Knives.
Blade: A modern looking design with straight spine and sweeping belly, the Nimbus has a full flat ground, stonewashed Elmax blade that cuts like a dream. Replacing the ball bearing pivot are robust, reliable bronze washers giving smooth operation in the most adverse conditions. An eye-like blade hole has better access and allows for multiple deployment options.
Handle: Built on AISI 420 hardened and blasted liners, the Nimbus has an ergonomic handle design that is comfortable over extended use. Contoured canvas Micarta scales are more rounded, providing easier access to the opener, warm in-hand feel and traction even when wet. The stainless steel liner lock is secure, robust, and smooth in operation.
Carries via a reversible stainless steel wire clip.
Bohler Elmax: Bohler Elmax is a popular choice for high-end user grade knives. Elmax is comparable to American CPM-S30V/S35VN in terms of edge retention, toughness, and sharpening with a slight improvement in corrosion resistance.
