GiantMouse LCC is based in Michigan. American owned and Danish by design. www.giantmouse.com Our goal at GiantMouse is to combine amazing knife designs, with the highest possible production quality, at a fair price. The designers behind the GiantMouse brand are world-renowned Danish knife makers and designers Jesper Voxnaes (Vox) and Jens Ansø. Vox and Ansø both grew up in the rural outskirts of Denmark, spending their days sailing on the Nordic Sea, fishing the fjords, hunting in the surrounding woods and exploring the great outdoors. All of which required them to always be accompanied by a good knife. In the hunt for the best possible knife, Jesper and Jens each started making custom knives in 1989. Today, Vox and Ansø are among the top knife designers in the world.
