GiantMouse ACE Iona Orange G-10 – Lightweight Everyday Performance with Premium Steel
The GiantMouse ACE Iona Orange G-10 is a compact, lightweight folding knife designed for serious everyday carry, blending minimalist aesthetics with high-end performance. Crafted with the signature precision of Danish designers Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes, the Iona is part of the GiantMouse ACE line—known for its refined ergonomics, thoughtful details, and exceptional materials. Whether you're an EDC enthusiast, outdoor adventurer, or simply need a reliable cutting tool, the ACE Iona delivers the perfect combination of form and function.
The highlight of the Iona is its 2.87-inch drop point blade, crafted from Böhler M390 stainless steel—one of the most elite steels available in modern knife making. M390 is celebrated for its remarkable edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and overall toughness, making it a top choice for high-performance EDC knives. The satin finish on the blade enhances its sleek look while offering durability and reduced glare for everyday tasks.
The drop point design of the blade provides a strong, controllable tip and a generous cutting belly, ideal for slicing, piercing, and general utility work. Whether you're opening boxes, trimming cord, or prepping a campfire snack, the Iona’s blade delivers clean, controlled cuts every time.
Opening the blade is smooth and intuitive, thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs and a reliable bronze washer pivot system. While not as flashy as ball bearings, the bronze washers offer consistent, smooth deployment and increased long-term durability, especially in dusty or gritty environments. The knife uses a linerlock mechanism to secure the blade safely during use, offering dependable lock-up with minimal maintenance.
The handles are made of vibrant orange G-10, a high-performance fiberglass laminate that offers excellent strength, weather resistance, and lightweight grip. The textured surface ensures a secure hold, even in wet or cold conditions. This bold orange color not only adds visual flair but also makes the knife easy to spot in a pack, drawer, or outdoor setting—perfect for work or adventure.
Designed with minimalist carry in mind, the Iona includes a wire-style deep-carry pocket clip in a tip-up configuration. The ambidextrous clip ensures discreet, secure carry and makes the knife comfortable for both left- and right-handed users. Despite its tough build and premium steel, the Iona weighs only 2.7 ounces, making it barely noticeable in the pocket until you need it.
The Iona measures 4.12 inches closed and reaches 7 inches overall, hitting the sweet spot between compact portability and full-hand control. Like all GiantMouse knives, it’s made in Maniago, Italy, a town renowned for generations of expert knife makers and known globally for its attention to craftsmanship and quality.
Whether you’re adding to your collection, upgrading your EDC, or looking for a gift that blends style with performance, the GiantMouse ACE Iona Orange G-10 is a knife that punches well above its weight.
