The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Button Lock Folder with Hammered Copper Handle brings a bold, elevated character to a hard-working everyday carry design. At 4.5 inches closed, it maintains a compact, pocket-friendly profile while still opening into a capable 3.5-inch tanto blade engineered for strength, precision, and dependable performance in real-world cutting tasks. This is a knife that blends striking materials with serious functionality.
The blade is crafted from SLD-MAGIC steel, known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and resistance to wear. It’s designed to hold its edge through repeated use while maintaining reliable performance under pressure. The tanto blade profile reinforces the tip for enhanced piercing strength and durability, while the straight cutting edge provides clean, controlled slicing. It’s a practical, purpose-driven design that handles everything from everyday utility tasks to more demanding work with confidence.
The hammered copper handle is the defining feature of this Chop 2. Its textured, hand-forged style surface gives the knife a distinctive, artisan-inspired appearance that stands apart from standard production finishes. Over time, copper naturally develops character, adding depth and personality with use. Paired with aluminum bolsters, the handle gains both structural balance and visual contrast, blending warm metallic tones with a clean, modern frame. The result is a knife that feels as premium as it looks, without losing its work-ready intent.
Deployment is smooth and intuitive thanks to the .45-style thumb disk, offering solid leverage and controlled one-handed opening. Once deployed, the button lock mechanism secures the blade firmly in place, ensuring stability during use while allowing for easy and safe closing when the job is done. The extended tang adds another layer of control, improving handling during precision cuts or when extra force is required.
For carry, the integrated pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible, making it easy to keep within reach throughout the day. When not in use, the included black molded plastic storage case provides durable protection for storage and transport, helping preserve the knife’s condition over time.
This Chop 2 stands out through its combination of high-performance steel, unique copper craftsmanship, and reliable mechanical design, available at SMKW.
