Their innovative knife designs are the result of their close relationship with theircommunity of customers and combine the highest possible production quality with fair prices. Jens and Jesper stand behind every knife, only producing knives that they themselves would carry and use.

The GiantMouse Sonoma V2 knife was first introduced in 2021 in Green and Natural Canvas Micarta, and now it has has gone to the dark side. The V2 is an outdoor working liner-lock knife with rounded scales along with a slim profile and comfortable ergonomics. These features have made the Sonoma V2 a "go-to" folding knife for many outdoor adventurers. the Sonoma V2 packs light but will perform heavy cutting tasks along the way, making it perfect for day-hikes or week-long backpacking trips.

Also new from GiantMouse is the Caplifter / Prybar tool, a multifunctional tool designed by Anso and Vox that is perfect for use as a key fob.

New Pistol Suppressors for 2025

We hear you (pun intended)! This year, we are reporting manufacturer’s sound-reduction rating where available. Now, not every manufacturer makes that information publicly available, so you’ll see a fair number of “N/As” where no decibel-reduction numbers were provided, but rest assured that, despite what you might think, the noise-reduction rating is one of the least important factors when choosing a new suppressor (more on that in a future article).
