If you've seen photos of the Sonoma on Instagram or FaceBook, it should come as no surprise that much of the inspiration for this model came from the GiantMouse GM3, a sleek gentleman’s folder which was very well received by GiantMouse customers in 2017.
Even though the Sonoma is part of the ACE line, GiantMouse decided to go all out on this first release produced by our newest manufacturer, Reate Knives. It was designed with a milled titanium skeletonized clip, rather than the standard ACE line wire clip, and anodized titanium pivot collars and backspacer similar to what was done on the limited edition GM line knives.
The decision on the name for this elegant folder is a nod to Sonoma County which lies just north of GiantMouse’s headquarters in Marin County, California. Sonoma is known for its scenic beauty - rolling hills and valleys, acres upon acres of vineyards, and over 250 wineries. The alluring landscape, along with no end to amazing food and wine, make Sonoma an ideal place for the GiantMouse Team to get its creative juices flowing.
