We’ve read that there were often rats aboard ships, but evidently there were mice too…giant mice. GiantMouse is back with the Iona Sailor, a folder inspired by some of the design priorities of maritime cutting tools.
All GiantMouse knives have a story behind them – usually a story about a bar (they are a team after our own heart). But the Iona is a bit different, taking its design cues from sailor’s knives – cutting tools whose owners were sometimes forced to break the tip off of, in order to make mutinous actions more difficult. Beyond this interesting “safety” feature, a sailor used his knife for lots of cutting, through lots of trying material.
Dumb lede, but I do love a Sailor’s Knife. The Boker Anchor is on my list, but this Giantmouse looks like a functional EDC version of the style.
