True innovation occurs when design and function forge a new path forward – one that cannot be ignored. This is the legacy of the iconic REO Motor Car Company and “REO Town” in Lansing, Michigan. Founded by Ransom E. Olds in 1904, the REO Motor Car Company is celebrated for trendsetting designs that were a precedent for true automotive streamlining in the American market.
REO Town is a stone’s throw from GiantMouse’s new Michigan headquarters. It has quickly become a favorite destination of the GiantMouse founders for its dive bars, craft brewery, “Good Trucking Diner,” and eclectic retail shops.
Inspired by the thriving spirit and creativity of REO Town, the GiantMouse ACE REO is a fusion of ultramodern design and industrial heritage. Designed by renowned Danish knife makers Jesper Voxnaes and Jens Ansø, the ACE REO is more than just a cutting-edge tool. It's a testament to design excellence, embodying the same level of quality, attention to detail, and innovation that defined early automotive pioneers. Its aesthetic appeal lies in its clean lines and meticulous finishing, which mirror the streamlined vehicles manufactured by the REO Motor Car Company.
The ACE REO boasts a blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel, ensuring a perfect blend of sharpness and durability. Its lightweight yet robust micarta handles with “diamond plate” milling provide an impeccable grip making it an ideal choice for any application, from outdoor adventures to everyday carry.
Whether you're a discerning knife enthusiast, focused on utility, or just someone who appreciates fine design, the ACE REO is sure to impress. A tool for tasks, a companion for exploration, and a tribute to true innovation – the GiantMouse ACE REO is a masterpiece you'll be proud to carry as you forge onward.
Our green canvas micarta variant of the ACE REO has been modified slightly to make this knife even more sleek. Now with a stonewashed blade and titanium backspacer, this knife is sure to get the attention of any EDC or knife enthusiast.
