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 M390 steel from Böhler, which provides excellent cutting performance and is extremely resistant to rust and corrosion and with its stonewash finish 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.

Giant Mouse ist perfekt wie immer
Auch das meines wissens kleinste Messer der ACE Serie ist ein Traum. Verschwindet in der Hosentasche und ist groß genug für alle EDC Anwendungen die einem am Tag unterkommen (außer Butterbrot schmieren) Ein wirklich gelungener Folder mit Framelock!

Really happy with the Riv. The usual high level of quality from Reate/Giantmouse and Vox is the master of small yet capable knives. The service from ASW was perfect, as always :) Thanks Maxi & Co

Great 5th pocket knife
Excellent ergonomic, functional blade with great factory edge, fidget friendly (try to avoid the lockbar pressure)
