Product Description
The Sonoma takes its name from Sonoma County, which lies just north of GiantMouse's original headquarters in Marin County, California — known for rolling hills, vineyards, and over 250 wineries. It is a fitting name for a knife this refined. The ACE Sonoma represents GiantMouse's first frame lock in the ACE line, and it is everything the platform has been building toward — longer, slimmer, and more premium in execution than anything else in the ACE catalog. Much of the inspiration came from the GiantMouse GM3, a sleek gentleman's folder which was very well received when it launched in 2017. The Black PVD version takes that already-premium baseline and pushes it into fully blacked-out gentleman's EDC territory.
The 3.4-inch drop point blade is ground from Böhler M390 MICROCLEAN stainless steel with a stonewash finish on the PVD variant. M390 at approximately 61 HRC delivers outstanding edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance — the same steel you find on knives costing significantly more, here applied to a blade geometry that excels at slicing, detail work, and everyday cutting tasks. The flipper tab fires the blade open via a precision ball bearing pivot for fast, repeatable deployment. The titanium frame lock provides rock-solid blade retention during use, engaging directly off the titanium handle frame for a lockup that is both strong and mechanically clean.
The contoured titanium handle scales are finished in black PVD stonewash and equipped with GiantMouse's milled titanium skeletonized clip — designed to mimic the flex and feel of a wire clip while delivering the strength of titanium. Anodized titanium pivot collars and backspacer are details normally reserved for GiantMouse's limited edition GM line — here brought to the ACE platform in a significant step up from the rest of the series. Each Sonoma ships with both a standard milled titanium clip and a deep-carry pocket clip, giving you two carry options out of the box. Manufactured by Reate Knives to GiantMouse's exacting specifications. As an authorized GiantMouse dealer, Knifeworks ships every ACE Sonoma fast.
