GiantMouse GMF1 MagnaCut

Hunting FixedFixed Blade

Made in Maniago, the GMF1 is a 2.4" MagnaCut drop point on green canvas Micarta, 5.2" overall with an Italian leather sheath. Stock is a stout 0.15" for such a short blade, and it weighs 2.3 oz. The 2.8" handle is a three-finger grip for most hands, and $275 buys a lot of steel elsewhere.

Why a drop point

The default hunting and EDC shape, and the safest general answer. The spine curves down to the tip in a convex line, which keeps the point low and strong and leaves plenty of belly for skinning. It is hard to make a drop point bad at anything.

1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All CPM MagnaCut knives
