GiantMouse – CLYDE-NAT-MICARTA-BRASS – Ace Clyde Linerlock Folding Knife – Elmax Micarta – Natural

Description

Meet Clyde…More “folk” than “lore.” More “urban” than “legend.” More “goofus” than “gallant.”

Maybe it’s GiantMouse’s fault that Clyde turned out the way he did. After all, they did name him after their favorite watering hole in Portland, OR “The Clyde Common”, located at the ACE Hotel in Pearl district. And they did create him as a mix of Scandinavia meets Japan and flirts with the Persians – no good lovechild could come from that…or could it? Well, we surely think so!

Clyde has a slim, pointy, and slightly upswept blade in Elmax steel (or “El Max,” as Clyde claims it is pronounced, being that it’s named after a semi-famous Lucha libre wrestler from the ´70s). The handle looks smaller than it feels, just like Clyde claims in other matters, and the ergonomics of the knife may surprise you given its simple lines.

This version in natural canvas Micarta sports a brass thumb stud and backspacer. We think that Clyde is the perfect EDC knife and, if you haven’t noticed yet, it has a ton of attitude that will set it apart!
