The Humans Behind the Mouse
Now, who are the brains behind GiantMouse? Glad you asked. At the helm of the US-headquartered team, there are three co-founders. Jim Wirth, CEO, located in the US (Michigan), and Jens Ansø and Jesper Voxnaes, designers hailing from Denmark, and world-renowned knifemakers in their own right.
Back in 2016, the three of them serendipitously met at a knife show when they happened to all be wearing the same Panerai watch and had a laugh about it. As legend has it, the three got along famously, shared the same values and vision, and decided to launch a brand together with their combined experience in the fields of everyday carry tools and knives. In time, as they like to put it, they set out to design a better mousetrap, so to speak. Since the launch of their first knife, the GM1, the brand has grown dramatically, and GiantMouse have made their mark, crafting pieces with innovative lines, cutting-edge materials and fine attention to detail. Now worthy contenders among the giants of the knife industry.
From GiantMouse:
“At GiantMouse, our designers collaborate to craft high-quality production knives that we are confident our customers will take pleasure in owning and using. Our design team is deeply involved in every stage of production, exercising complete control over design choices, materials, finishes, and more. Production proceeds only after the entire GiantMouse team conducts a thorough review and testing of prototypes and production samples, ensuring that the finished knife is one they would proudly carry and use themselves.”
