North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Crossbar Lock Folder Jade Frag G-10 Handle Tanto Blade NMB2418JDG5

The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Crossbar Lock Folder in jade frag G-10 with a tanto blade is a modern EDC built to deliver dependable performance with a distinctive, high-visibility look. It combines proven materials, a strong locking system, and a purpose-driven blade shape into a package that’s ready for everyday use in the real world.

At the center is a 3.5-inch tanto blade forged from 10Cr15MoV steel with a 5-layer copper-clad construction. This layered design adds both strength and visual depth, while the steel itself offers solid edge retention and durability through repeated use. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for piercing and precision tasks, while the straight cutting edge handles slicing and push cuts with efficiency. It’s a blade that performs consistently across a wide range of daily cutting needs.

The handle features jade G-10 in a frag pattern, giving it both a unique appearance and enhanced grip. The translucent jade tone stands out without being overdone, while the frag texturing provides added traction for secure handling in changing conditions. G-10 is known for its toughness and resistance to moisture and temperature shifts, making it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor environments. A lanyard hole is built in for added carry flexibility when you want extra retention.

The Chop 2 is equipped with a crossbar lock, delivering strong, consistent lockup with fully ambidextrous operation. It allows for smooth one-handed opening and closing, whether you’re deploying the blade with the thumb disk or disengaging the lock with controlled precision. The thumb disk keeps the profile streamlined while still offering quick, reliable access.

At 4.5 inches closed, the knife carries comfortably in the pocket without sacrificing capability. The pocket clip keeps it secure and accessible, making it a practical choice for everyday carry whether you’re at work, in the field, or handling routine tasks. When it’s not in use, the included black molded plastic storage case provides durable protection for transport or storage.

This is a knife that blends function with standout design. It’s built to work, but it’s also built to be noticed, offering reliable performance in a package that doesn’t fade into the background.
