The GiantMouse Vox/Anso ACE REO Black & Brass is a refined everyday carry folder built with real-world performance in mind and backed by two of the most respected designers in modern knife making. Designed by Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes, the REO blends clean Scandinavian lines with purposeful construction, resulting in a knife that feels deliberate, capable, and ready for daily use. It carries slim and light, yet never feels fragile or underbuilt.
The blade is a 3.33-inch drop point crafted from CPM MagnaCut, a steel chosen for its outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. A black PVD coating gives the blade a subdued, hard-use appearance while helping mask wear over time. The ambidextrous thumb hole allows smooth, controlled opening, and once deployed, the frame lock provides solid, reliable lockup you can trust during demanding tasks. The blade shape favors versatility, making it equally comfortable handling fine cuts or heavier utility work.
The handle is machined from titanium and finished in black, delivering strength without unnecessary weight. Subtle diamond-pattern milling adds grip and visual depth without feeling abrasive in the hand. Brass accents at the pivot collars and backspacer bring in just enough contrast to elevate the design, giving the knife a distinctive look that stands apart from all-black folders. At just over three ounces, it’s easy to forget it’s in your pocket until you need it. A reversible wire pocket clip supports left or right-hand carry, and the ambidextrous layout makes the REO equally usable for any user.
