Introducing the ACE Farley Slipjoint.

The slipjointmay bethe most ubiquitous type of pocketknife ever. Your father probably carried one. Your grandfather almost certainly carried one. It’s very likely that your mother even had one rattling around in her purse. Sowhen GiantMouse began to design their take on the slipjoint, they incorporated their collective feelings of responsibility to prior generations of slipjoint users to get it right –to produce asimple, yet beautiful non-locking folder that would be sure toplease.

Lines are important. Especially to Danish designers. Sothe “lines” or shape ofthe Farley weredesigned to evoke an appreciation for finer thingsand pride of ownership as it catches your attention while sittingon your desk.

Function is important. Especially to Danish knife designers. So the Farley was designed with a stop pin on the close side to preventthe blade from touching the spring if closed hard. The spring strength was tested onseveral sample iterations until the team felt it was just right. A strong steel wire clip will hold the knife securely in pocket, and can be moved to the opposite scale for the lefties among us.

Details are important. Always at GiantMouse. So the blade and spring on the Farley were designed withradiusedspines. To allow for optimal grip when pulling the knife from your pocket, we machined “cut-outs” on the scales on each side ofthejimping.Andthe jimping itself is a detail we are proud of, and know will be pleasing to both sight and touch.

Names are important. You know this already if you ownother GiantMouse knives. The Farley was named after one of ourfavorite restaurant bars, found at Cavallo Point in Sausalito, California. Locatedat the Northern base of the Golden Gate Bridge. Cavallo Point washome toFort Baker,a 1905 U.S. Army post located immediately north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The grounds surrounding the Farley Barholdover 25 historic army buildings clustered around a main parade ground, and a sheltered harbor protected by a jettyproviding for a perspective of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge that you’ll rarely see. GiantMouse initially went for the view and found themselves back again and again for the live music, amazing oysters and draft beers.
