North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Crossbar Lock Folder Carbon Fiber Handle Tanto Blade NMB2418CF5

The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Crossbar Lock Folder with carbon fiber handle and tanto blade is built for users who want a modern, hard-working EDC that combines strength, control, and standout materials. It’s a purpose-driven design that delivers dependable performance while keeping weight down and carry comfortable.

At the center is a 3.5-inch tanto blade forged from 10Cr15MoV steel with a 5-layer copper-clad construction. This layered build not only adds visual depth but also reinforces durability and cutting performance. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for piercing and detailed work, while the straight edge section handles slicing and push cuts with efficiency. It’s a blade that’s built to take on demanding tasks without sacrificing control.

The handle is constructed from lightweight carbon fiber, offering an excellent balance of strength and reduced weight. It feels solid in hand while remaining easy to carry throughout the day. The clean, modern look of carbon fiber pairs well with the blade’s bold construction, giving the knife a refined but capable presence. A lanyard hole is integrated into the design, adding another carry option when extra security is needed.

The Chop 2 features a crossbar lock mechanism, delivering ambidextrous operation and strong, consistent lockup. It’s designed for smooth deployment and reliable performance, whether you’re opening the blade with the thumb disk or closing it with controlled precision. The thumb disk offers a low-profile, functional opening method that keeps the design streamlined while still allowing quick access to the blade.

At 4.5 inches closed, the knife carries comfortably in the pocket without sacrificing blade length or capability. The pocket clip keeps it secure and within reach, making it a practical choice for daily use on the job, in the field, or handling everyday cutting tasks. When not in use, the included black molded plastic storage case provides a durable and protective way to store or transport the knife.

This is a knife that blends modern materials with proven design elements, giving you a tool that performs under pressure while maintaining a clean, professional look. It’s built for those who expect more from their everyday carry.
