The GiantMouse ACE Nazca Folding Knife in Stonewashed M390 with Natural Canvas Micarta is a bold interpretation of modern EDC design shaped by the unmistakable “lines” philosophy of Ansø and Vox. In true GiantMouse fashion, every contour begins with intentional geometry, but the Nazca takes that idea in a different direction—more mysterious, more expressive, and undeniably distinctive.
Named after the legendary Nazca Lines of southern Peru, this design leans into the idea of patterns that raise questions and invite interpretation. Whether those ancient geoglyphs were created by human hands or something beyond, the Nazca knife carries that same sense of intrigue in its flowing, unconventional lines. It’s a folder that stands apart from traditional design language while still delivering the precision and functionality expected from the ACE line.
At the heart of the knife is a 3.15-inch blade crafted from Böhler M390 Microclean stainless steel, heat treated to ~61 HRC. Known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and fine-grained toughness, M390 is a premium steel built for long-term performance. The stonewashed finish adds a subdued, wear-resistant surface that reduces glare and helps the blade maintain its working appearance even after heavy use. The blade profile is optimized for versatile cutting tasks, offering a strong edge geometry suited for everyday carry and field applications alike.
Deployment is smooth and controlled thanks to a ball-bearing pivot system, giving the blade a clean, confident action on every opening. Lockup is handled by a cross-bar lock, delivering ambidextrous operation and strong, reliable blade security under pressure. It’s a modern mechanism chosen for both ease of use and dependable strength in demanding conditions.
The handle is crafted from natural canvas Micarta, providing a warm, organic feel with excellent grip in all environments. Over time, it develops character through use, becoming more personalized with carry. A titanium backspacer adds structural strength and a refined contrast element, reinforcing the knife’s balance between durability and design sophistication. At 4 ounces, the Nazca carries with a solid yet comfortable presence in pocket.
A reversible wire clip ensures flexible, low-profile carry, while hardened liners contribute to long-term structural integrity. Manufactured by Bestech Knives to exacting standards and designed by Vox/Ansø, the Nazca reflects a collaboration rooted in precision, creativity, and functional artistry.
The ACE Nazca Natural Canvas M390 is a distinctive modern folder defined by flowing lines, premium materials, and dependable cross-bar lock performance.
