From GiantMouse -

"The GiantMouse GMF1-XL fixed blade knife is perfect for camping/hiking or everyday carry. Designed by Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes, it's a larger version of the original GMF1, offering that much more bang for your buck. Crafted in Italy, it combines superior craftsmanship with practical design, making it an excellent addition to your fixed blade knife collection. Named 2024 Best Fixed Blade at Atlanta Blade Show
 
Building on the legacy of our beloved GMF1, the GMF1-XL is the much-anticipated larger version you have been eagerly waiting for!
 
Designed to offer the same exceptional ergonomics and utility, the GMF1-XL steps up with increased size and enhanced features, making it a formidable companion for all your everyday carry needs. The GMF1-XL maintains the sleek, compact nature of the original GMF1, but with a larger blade and handle, as well as scales for improved functionality and grip. The lanyard hole at the back and a strategically placed front hole not only provide a better grip but also add to the knife's artistic appeal you would expect from GiantMouse. For those who prefer a skeletonized handle, simply remove the scales and wrap paracord through the holes for a custom, tactical look.
 
Disclaimer: The brass scales on this knife will patina over time and some oxidation may already have occurred while the knife is in the box. We try to eliminate as much plastic from our packaging as possible and the cotton bags we use instead are not airtight. When brass gets in contact with air, oxidation will happen and patina on the metal's surface begins to happen. All in all; if you don’t like patina on your brass scales, this may not be the knife for you!"
