North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Button Lock Folder Red G10 Handle SLD Magic Tanto Bld 2406-RED

The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Button Lock Folder in Red G10 is a refined fusion of modern engineering and traditional Japanese-inspired steelcraft, built for users who demand dependable cutting performance in a rugged everyday carry platform. Purpose-driven and visually striking, this second-generation design delivers upgraded functionality, improved handling, and a bold aesthetic that stands out in both field and collection use.

At the core is a 3.35-inch SLD-Magic SAN MAI tanto blade, engineered for strength, edge retention, and reliable performance under pressure. The tanto profile delivers excellent tip durability and controlled piercing capability, making it well suited for utility tasks, outdoor cutting, and demanding daily use. Crafted from patented SLD-Magic steel, the blade reflects North Mountain Blade’s commitment to traditional laminated steel construction, offering both structural integrity and a distinctive forged appearance.

The Chop 2 is equipped with a smooth push button lock system that provides fast, intuitive deployment and secure blade lockup. Combined with an extended tang design, the knife offers improved control and added structural confidence during use. The action is supported by precision internal components that ensure consistent, reliable performance every time the blade is deployed.

A gold 45-style thumb disk adds dual functionality, allowing for alternative opening methods while giving the knife a refined visual accent that contrasts sharply with its rugged construction. The 4.5-inch closed length keeps the profile compact enough for everyday carry, while still providing a full-sized cutting tool when deployed to its 8-inch overall length.

The handle is constructed from durable red G10, chosen for its strength, texture, and resistance to wear. Its aggressive grip pattern ensures secure handling in both dry and wet conditions, while the vivid red finish gives the knife a bold, high-visibility character. This combination of function and color creates a tool that feels as capable as it looks.

At 4.27 ounces, the Chop 2 maintains a balanced weight that supports both stability in hand and comfortable pocket carry. A reliable pocket clip ensures secure transport and quick accessibility, keeping the knife ready when it’s needed most. The included black molded plastic storage case provides additional protection for long-term storage or transport.

Designed with real-world performance in mind, the Chop 2 reflects North Mountain Blade’s continued focus on blending Japanese-inspired blade artistry with modern utility-driven design. It’s built to be used, relied upon, and carried daily without compromise.
