Heads up to collectors and would-be Iona V2 owners out there: GiantMouse dropped a pair of limited edition variations of the model on their site this week. Handle material and steel options are the name of the game with these new limited eds.
Quick refresher on the Iona V2 itself, because none of the dimensional specifications are changed here. The Iona V2, as the name implies – or rather, explicitly says – is the second iteration of GiantMouse duo Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes’s original design. They took that first version and increased the size somewhat, increasing its cutting cabalities while still keeping it well within the realm of EDC for most users; during the process they also bumped up the steel from tried-and-true, but no longer cutting edge, M390, to CPM MagnaCut, a steel that has gone on to have quite a life in the GiantMouse lineup (and elsewhere, as you may have heard). The scale options on the standard V2 are black linen or green canvas Micarta.
The anodized bronze actually looks pretty good. For those who have forgotten, GiantMouse is a joint venture between Jens Ansø and Jesper Voxnaes.
