Blade

The People’s Knife

At ease in any setting, the formal night out or the work-day, the gent’s knife has long been popular for everyday carry (EDC). Handy and functional, it offers good looks, pride of owner-ship and is a sure-fire conversation starter.

Today’s gent’s knife continues the trendsetting style, aesthetics, and user-friendly access it’s always been known for, and the latest factory offerings include some dazzling possibilities.

“A great gent’s knife is a fully functioning tool that stands strong in the ‘looks and class’ department,” explained Jim Wirth of Giant-Mouse. “It’s a knife that is capable of cutting tasks but also for social events, Sunday church or a Thursday evening cocktail.”
