GiantMouse has recalled about 600 GM12 and GMP12 button-lock folding knives. The locking mechanism on these knives can fail during use, which can lead to the blade closing unexpectedly. The firm has received eight reports of the lock failing, though no injuries have been reported at this time. These high-end knives were sold exclusively online at giantmouse.com in November 2024 for between $385 and $425.
The folding knife's lock can fail while in use, allowing the blade to close on the user's fingers. This poses a serious laceration hazard to the user.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled knives and contact GiantMouse for a full refund or for a free repair, including shipping, after the original knife has been returned to the firm. Consumers will not be asked for proof of purchase and will receive a pre-paid shipping label to return the recalled knife. GiantMouse is contacting all known purchasers.
Each knife is numbered on the inside of the back spacer. Brand logo and country of origin are etched on the inside of one of the knife handle scales.
