The GiantMouse GMF2-P-R Fixed Blade is built for those who expect their gear to perform without hesitation, combining field-ready durability with a comfortable, controlled feel in hand. Based on the award-winning GMF2 platform—recognized by Outdoor Life as the best “no frills” hunting knife—this version refines the design with upgraded materials and enhanced cutting performance.
At its core is a 3.63-inch blade crafted from N690 stainless steel, heat treated to ~60 HRC for a dependable balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. The blade features a PVD coating that delivers a low-reflection, wear-resistant finish suited for demanding outdoor environments. This iteration also incorporates a higher blade grind, set approximately ⅛ inch higher than previous versions, improving slicing efficiency and giving the knife a smoother, more controlled cutting feel across a wide range of tasks.
Whether you’re batoning wood, cutting rope, or processing game, the GMF2-P-R is built to handle it. The blade thickness provides the strength needed for tougher jobs, while the refined grind ensures it doesn’t sacrifice performance when precision matters.
The handle is constructed from Red G10, offering a durable, weather-resistant grip with excellent traction in all conditions. The bold red color isn’t just for looks—it adds visibility in outdoor environments where gear can easily be set down or lost. The ergonomic shaping fits naturally in the hand, providing comfort and control during extended use without hot spots or fatigue.
Each GMF2-P-R comes with a handcrafted black leather dangler sheath made in Italy, designed by Ansø and Vox specifically for this knife. The dangler style allows the knife to ride lower on the belt, improving comfort when sitting, hiking, or moving through varied terrain. The leather construction adds a traditional touch while maintaining durability and secure retention.
At 8.12 inches overall and weighing 4.3 ounces, the GMF2-P-R offers a balanced profile that’s large enough for serious work while still being practical for everyday carry in the outdoors. Manufactured in Maniago, Italy, it reflects GiantMouse’s commitment to precision craftsmanship and functional design.
The GMF2-P-R is a straightforward, capable fixed blade built for real-world use—no excess, no shortcuts, just performance where it counts.
