Handle material:
Recycled and shredded bank cards (composite)
Liners and bolsters: stainless steel
Blade steel: corrosion-resistant 12C27
And now for the real story behind this knife:
Some people call it the “knife of tears”.
Not because of the blade – but because of what’s in the handle.
Real bank cards were cut up, shredded, and pressed into a new material.
Cards from purchases you were proud of.
And from one or two decisions you’d rather not talk about.
Plastic becomes handle material.
Regret turns into a Laguiole.
Upcycling doesn’t get much more honest than this.
There’s only one comforting thought:
This card can no longer be swiped –
but at least now it cuts properly.

Picaroon Tools Swabbie
You reach into your pocket, pull it out, roll the blade open with your thumb on the extended blade spine – and the Swabbie is ready to go. No button, no click, no mechanism standing between you and the blade.
The Swabbie is a friction folder. The blade is held open not by a lock, but by your grip and the pressure of your thumb on the extended tang that protrudes from the back of the handle. The same lever you open it with is what keeps the blade open while you cut. Reduction as a principle – someone deliberately left things out here instead of piling them on, and you feel exactly that when you use it.
The blade comes with a stonewash finish that swallows wear marks rather than putting them on display – anyone who actually uses their gear knows why that beats a mirror polish that looks like a battlefield after the first day in your pocket. The black G10 handle scales sit dry and grippy in your hand, even when things get damp outside. Harbour air included.
Prefer something a bit beefier? The titanium version brings a little more weight and a distinctly more modern feel.
With a 7.9 cm blade, 17.6 cm open and a 3 mm blade thickness, the Swabbie lands right in that range that simply disappears into your everyday carry. Slice an apple, open a parcel, cut a length of cord, whittle a bit by the campfire. You can carry your Swabbie either in the included simple leather pouch, or just loose in your pocket.
And the best part for anyone out and about in Germany: as a friction folder with no locking blade, the Swabbie is §42a-compliant and therefore legal to carry without restriction. No hassle, no grey area – you carry a full-fledged EDC and stay on the safe side.
Behind Picaroon Tools is Pavel Kukushev from Varna in Bulgaria, who grew up by the sea – hence the maritime, piratical signature of the brand. He made his name with bottle openers and tools for Kizer, Bestech and Böker – the Swabbie is his third knife design, manufactured by Bestech Knives, who have a solid reputation for executing small, idiosyncratic designs.
A knife you never have to unlock, because it was never locked in the first place. That's exactly what makes it so easy to have on you every single day.
Chris Reeve Sebenza Micarta Natural – Glass Blasted
Premium Glass-Blasted Finish
with natural Micarta inlays
Glass Blasted vs. Sandblasted
Wondering what the difference is between Glass Blasted and Sandblasted?
The Glass Blasted finish uses crushed glass, resulting in a finer, tighter texture that’s highly scratch-resistant and silky smooth — yet still offers plenty of grip.
Sandblasted finishes, on the other hand, use sand to create a rougher, more tactile surface that develops character over time.
ACE Atelier – Flat Brass Edition
Art, craftsmanship, a touch of ambition – and somewhere in the background, a mouse quietly sneaks through the scene. Welcome to the atelier. That’s exactly where the GiantMouse ACE Atelier – Flat Brass belongs. Only instead of canvas and paint, you’re looking at solid brass, Böhler Elmax, and a very refined sense of design.
At first glance, it might remind you of a slightly “over-washed” GiantMouse Grand, but conceptually it stands on its own. The design language is familiar: a distinctive blade with an aggressive swedge that adds visual tension, paired with a handle that subtly angles into your hand for a natural, secure grip. Functional by nature, but with the aesthetic precision you expect from GiantMouse.
Now for what makes this version special: this is a limited run with a solid brass handle. No Micarta, no titanium – just one material, intentionally chosen. Brass brings weight (around 146 g), balance, and most importantly: patina. This knife won’t just show signs of use – it will age with you, shaped by how you carry and use it.
The blade remains top-tier in performance. Böhler Elmax with a PVD finish offers excellent edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and a surface that doesn’t immediately highlight every mark of use. With a blade length of about 7.3 cm and an overall length of roughly 17.3 cm, the Atelier stays compact enough for daily carry without feeling compromised.
Classic GiantMouse features are all here: a well-tuned liner lock and a reversible deep-carry wire clip that keeps the knife discreetly tucked away in your pocket.
Bottom line: a compact but serious EDC folder with character – limited to just 300 individually numbered pieces.
FRN handle CTS BD-1N blade with four-way reversible clipThe EDC Classic
Don't let the name of this absolute classic scare you - this is not a combat knife or any other kind of military stabbing weapon. The Para Military 2 - or PM2 - is one of the most popular and versatile knives Spyderco has in its lineup.
Originally introduced in 2010, this all-around knife has been improved upon over the years, making this cutting tool an absolutely mature design by now.The incredibly ergonomic handle, is designed for maximum control when working with the knife and allows you a variety of ways to wield the blade.
Really great is the so-called Fingerchoil (an indentation at the base of the blade), which makes it possible for you to grip the knife very close to the cutting edge to transfer maximum force to the cutting movement. Thanks to the attached filings (jimping), you have an absolutely secure grip even in this position, and the knife never threatens to slip from your grasp thanks to the rough FRN surface of the handle.
The steel plates are recessed in the handle material and generously milled out to save weight. An absolute highlight of the PM2s is the Compression Lock. At first glance, this locking technology looks like a rear-positioned liner lock - but a closer look reveals that this is not the case. With the Compression Lock, the liner moves between the blade root and the stop pin on the back. To destroy this lock, the steel liner between the blade root and the pin would have to be crushed, which is virtually impossible. This construction makes the Para Military 2 one of the most stable pocket knives the market has to offer.
The blade is made of CTS BD-1N steel. The fully raised flat grind provides optimal cutting performance and the fine point allows you to do the finest detail work.
Thanks to the reversible pocket clip on both sides, the knife is ideal for both right and left-handed users, while the large lanyard hole allows you to attach a safety strap.
Swiss precision!
When you think of Switzerland, you probably picture the Alps, stunning landscapes, perfect order – and maybe a piece of Toblerone. Fair enough. But Victorinox has every reason to confidently add itself to that list. With the Evoke Wood Damast Limited Edition 2026, the Swiss once again show that they don’t just excel at mountains and chocolate, but also at knives where materials, craftsmanship, and design come together in perfect harmony.
As the 2026 annual knife, this model is based on the well-known Evoke, but receives an upgrade that truly stands out: a large blade made from Damasteel® with 115 layers, featuring the distinctive Gysinge pattern and hardened to around 60 HRC. What that means for you: striking looks, strong performance, and definitely not a mass-produced blade – every pattern is unique.
The knife is paired with carefully selected plane tree wood handle scales, adding warmth and natural character while making each piece one of a kind. The contrast between the bold Damascus blade and the lively wood creates a design that feels refined without being overly polished – and premium without losing its everyday usability.
Of course, this edition stays true to the Evoke’s core character. This is not a fragile display piece, but a functional EDC knife built to be used. The removable thumb stud adds practical versatility to the handling.
And since Victorinox is producing only 7,000 individually numbered pieces worldwide, this is exactly the kind of knife where waiting too long might mean missing out. If you appreciate Swiss precision, premium materials, and genuine collector appeal, the Victorinox Annual Knife 2026 is definitely worth a closer look.

Little mouse
With the Riv, GiantMouse present a model that fans of somewhat more compact knives in particular have long been waiting for. What may look like a Biblio washed too hot at first glance is actually much more.
Visually, the Riv is clearly reminiscent of its big brother at first, but it also fulfills the long-held desire of many fans of Jesper Voxnaes to get a high-end version of the CRKT Pilar - there is a certain similarity here as well. The basic idea behind the Riv was to offer a pocket knife that is small enough to really carry with you wherever you go. Despite the compact dimensions, however, the knife should still be a full-fledged cutting tool that can be used properly.
The handle of the Riv is designed as a framelock, and it's no surprise that an exceedingly good-looking and popular combination of materials is used here in the form of titanium and micarta. To prevent wear in the lock, the lockbar was provided with a stainless steel insert, which also serves as an internal overtravel guard, so that the lock can not be accidentally overstretched when opening. Typical for GiantMouse is the curved wire clip, which allows the knife to disappear deep and barely visible in the pocket.
For the blade, the manufacturer once again relies on the proven CPM S90V Steel, which provides excellent cutting performance and is extremely resistant to rust the DLC coating supports that too and also gives a great image. The knife is opened either via the thumb hole or the small flipper tab, which allows the ball-bearing blade to shoot out of the hilt.
Like all GiantMouse knives, the Riv was named after a special place.
After boss and founder of the brand, Jim Wirth, moved from California to East Lansing/ Michigan in 2020, he remembered a small pub he had visited often as a student at Michigan State University: The Riv. That pub still exists today and will be the breeding ground for many imaginative evenings together for Wirth, Ansø and Voxnaes in the future.
Like the GiantMouse Sonoma, the Riv is entirely manufactured by Reate.

Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight – CTS BD1N
Fifty years of Spyderco do not stand for nostalgia – they stand for evolution. Since 1976, the company from Golden, Colorado has shaped the modern folding knife like few others. The pocket clip, the iconic Round Hole, the Compression Lock – innovations that are standard today started here. The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight carries that legacy forward in a version deliberately optimized for real-world everyday carry.
The Lightweight configuration replaces traditional G10 with fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle scales. This significantly reduces weight while maintaining structural strength and rigidity. The signature bi-directional texturing provides excellent grip in wet conditions, cold environments, or during demanding work tasks. The knife feels light in pocket, yet solid and controlled in hand – exactly what a serious EDC tool should deliver.
This version features CTS BD1N steel (sometimes incorrectly referred to as “CTS1 B1”). BD1N is a nitrogen-enhanced evolution of CTS BD1. The addition of nitrogen improves corrosion resistance and promotes a finer, more uniform carbide structure. The result is a well-balanced performance steel offering strong edge retention, excellent rust resistance, and easy maintenance in the field. For everyday use – from humid coastal climates to workshop environments – BD1N proves to be highly practical and reliable.
The blade retains the proven full-flat ground drop point profile, delivering clean slicing performance across cardboard, packaging, wood, cordage, and daily utility tasks. The pronounced thumb ramp with jimping adds extra control for precise cuts. The Paramilitary 2 is not built as a display piece – it is engineered as a working tool.
At the core remains the Compression Lock, a Spyderco-designed mechanism that allows safe one-handed operation while keeping fingers clear of the blade path. Over decades of refinement, it has become one of the most respected locking systems in production knives, combining strength, reliability, and smooth functionality.
As Spyderco celebrates its 50-year anniversary, the Paramilitary 2 Lightweight with CTS BD1N represents the company’s philosophy perfectly: continuous refinement instead of short-lived trends. A lightweight, technically mature EDC knife trusted worldwide and regarded as one of the most relevant everyday folding knives on the market.
The Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Lightweight CTS BD1N is not a stripped-down alternative – it is a purpose-driven evolution of a modern classic. Refined over five decades. Built for daily performance.
GiantMouse ACE ReoJesper Voxnaes and Jens Anso Design Grip in textured G10, Micarta or TitaniumBlade in CPM MagnaCut steel with stonewashed or PVD finishMade in ItalyNot just for car fans.
Imagine standing in a place where past meets present, where the industrial spirit and scent of motor oil of yesteryear can still be felt in every corner. At REO Town in Lansing, Michigan, home of the pioneering REO Motor Car Company, you can feel what innovation must have felt like in the golden era of the automobile. This magical place is just a stone's throw from GiantMouse Headquarters. While the automotive era is, of course, long a thing of the past, the place has retained its tradition while also being a haven for many small, innovative businesses, manufacturers, bars and breweries.This creative atmosphere is exactly what inspired the team at GiantMouse when they created their latest knife - the ACE REO. As soon as you pick it up, you'll feel that the balance and weight, are just right.The canvas micarta, G10 or titanium handle fits securely and comfortably in your hand with the "Diamond Plate" routing. By the way, did you know that the Ace Reo is equipped with an MRBS? Maybe you are now wondering what that is supposed to be. This is a so-called MULTIROW BALLBEARING SYSTEM. Here the blade runs not on one, but on two rows of small steel balls, which sit in a plastic cage. So the root of the blade has a larger contact area, which means that lateral forces can be better distributed. In addition, the blade action is somewhat "smoother" and in the case of the ACE Reo a little more reminiscent of the "feel" of a bronze washer.
Whether you are out and about or mastering your urban everyday life, the ACE REO is ready for the big and small adventures. In the blade of this lightweight folding knife, the still relatively new Magnacut steel is used, which is not only extremely rust resistant, but also remains very long cutting. The Reo is locked via a bombproof arresting liner lock. But the ACE REO is more than your new faithful companion - it's a story you carry with you, a piece of true ingenuity you can hold in your hand.
A tribute to the past but also a step into the future.

Laguiole en Aubrac 12 cm – Fire Elder Burl – Space Bee Edition
The Space Bee Edition is part of the Cosmos Collection and reimagines the classic Laguiole bee as a symbol of open space. Unbound to any single celestial body, it represents vastness, depth, and the unknown between the stars. The motif is deliberately more abstract than the planetary designs—a bee floating in space, reduced in form yet rich in meaning. The design is complemented by a finely handcrafted filework on the spine, subtly echoing the knife’s cosmic theme.
The handle is made from Fire Elder Burl—stabilized elder burl wood with vivid color variations ranging from warm reds and amber tones to deep, dark inclusions. As a natural material, each piece features a unique grain pattern, often reminiscent of galactic structures: sometimes calm and profound, sometimes dynamic and explosive. The full handle construction emphasizes the knife’s clean silhouette and allows the material to truly stand out. Brass liners add a warm, classic contrast.
Each Laguiole en Aubrac knife is crafted by a single maker in the Aubrac region of France. From the guillochage to the filework and the Space Bee, every knife carries an individual handcrafted signature.
The Laguiole en Aubrac 12 cm – Pink Elder Burl – Saturn Bee Edition is part of the special Cosmos collection, where the classic Laguiole bee is reimagined as celestial bodies of our universe. In this version, the bee represents Saturn with its iconic rings—finely detailed and fully appreciated only at a second glance. This motif adds depth to the knife and is complemented by a specially designed, hand-filed backspring that underlines the artisanal character of the piece.
The handle is crafted from Pink Elder Burl, a stabilized elder burl wood dyed in soft pink tones. As a natural material, every grain pattern is different—sometimes smooth and flowing, sometimes lively and expressive. These natural variations ensure that each knife has its own character. The full-handle construction keeps the silhouette clean and lets the wood take center stage.
Each Laguiole en Aubrac knife is handcrafted by a single artisan in the Aubrac region of France. From the guillochage to the Saturn Bee, every detail reflects a distinct maker’s touch. With its 12 cm size, this knife is a refined everyday companion for anyone who appreciates traditional French knife making and enjoys quietly special details with a poetic, cosmic twist.
The Tactile Knife Ranger combines traditional slipjoint craftsmanship with high-end, American-made production.
