Giant Mouse Knives has recently introduced two limited edition knives the GM7 and the GMP7 folder knives.

Giant Mouse Knives states “The GM7 was one of those designs that “just happened” while the GiantMouse team was out and about being inspired by their environment.

While together in Nuremberg last March, we happened to be sitting in an Indian restaurant having dinner, when the conversation turned to what spices we liked and what types of chilies we preferred.

As usually happens when there are two Danish designers at the dinner table, the pens come out, and drawing on napkins begins – in this case, to illustrate the chili peppers they liked to cook with but didn’t know the names of.

And, as also usually happens, the lines from a particular sketch turned the discussion to knife design, and the initial sketches of the GM7 came to light between the naan, mango, and curries.

The shape that emerged in the knife sketches was in some ways reminiscent of the Spanish Navaja folder, but more sleek and modern in its expression.

The next morning we took it to the computer, and before lunch, the GM7 was born.”
