SHOP CASE KNIVESThe North Mountain Blade Tanto is a precision-engineered folder designed for strength, control, and tactical performance. Its 3.25-inch CPM S35VN stainless steel blade features a tanto profile, providing exceptional tip strength and cutting power for demanding tasks. The black stonewashed finish not only adds a rugged, professional look but also improves wear resistance, ensuring the blade stays reliable through heavy use.

The combination of durable materials, thoughtful design, and precise machining results in a folder that’s both functional and visually commanding.
