The GiantMouse ACE Riv Frame Lock Folder in Mint Green Anodized Titanium with DLC S90V Blade is a compact, high-performance EDC built around character, history, and precision engineering. Like many GiantMouse designs, its story begins in a bar—the Riv, a legendary East Lansing dive where grit, conversation, and community shaped the spirit behind this knife. That same energy carries into a tool designed to be small in size but big in attitude and capability.
This is not a scaled-down version of anything else. The Riv was engineered from the ground up with its own identity, balancing compact carry with serious cutting performance. At its core is a 2.44-inch blade made from premium S90V steel, chosen for its exceptional edge retention and wear resistance. This is a steel that stays sharp far longer than conventional alloys, making it ideal for a knife intended for daily use. The blade is finished in DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), delivering a deep matte black surface that enhances corrosion resistance, increases surface hardness, and reduces glare for a sleek, tactical appearance.
Deployment is smooth and controlled thanks to a ball-bearing pivot system, allowing the blade to open with effortless precision. Once deployed, a solid frame lock engages with confidence, offering secure lockup in a compact, dependable platform built for real-world use.
The handle is crafted from titanium and finished in a striking green anodization, giving the Riv its “Mint” identity. The color is bold yet refined—fresh without being flashy, distinctive without losing its industrial edge. The titanium construction keeps the knife lightweight and strong, while the ergonomics ensure a secure, comfortable grip despite its compact footprint. A titanium backspacer reinforces the frame, and a steel wire clip provides discreet, reversible carry options that disappear easily into the pocket.
At just 2.6 ounces, the Riv is designed to be carried effortlessly while still delivering meaningful performance when called upon. Manufactured by Reate Knives to exacting standards and designed by Vox/Ansø, it reflects a collaboration rooted in precision, durability, and thoughtful design.
The ACE Riv Mint Green DLC S90V is a compact frame lock built for everyday carry, offering elite steel performance, bold anodized titanium styling, and a pocket-friendly form factor with serious capability.
