It’s built to handle real work while maintaining a streamlined profile that carries comfortably day in and day out.
At the core is a 3.5-inch tanto blade forged from 10Cr15MoV steel with a 5-layer copper-clad construction. This layered build adds both strength and visual depth, while the steel itself delivers solid edge retention and durability for repeated use. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for piercing and detail work, paired with a straight cutting edge that excels at slicing and push cuts. It’s a practical blade shape that performs across a wide range of everyday tasks.
The handle is constructed from OD green G-10, offering a dependable grip with excellent resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and hard use. It’s a material known for its durability, and it holds up well in both outdoor and work environments. The textured surface gives you confident control in hand, while the integrated lanyard hole adds another carry option when extra security is needed.
The Chop 2 utilizes a crossbar lock system, delivering strong, consistent lockup with fully ambidextrous operation. It’s built for smooth deployment and easy one-handed use, whether you’re opening it with the thumb disk or closing it with controlled precision. The thumb disk keeps the profile clean while still allowing quick, reliable access to the blade.
At 4.5 inches closed, this knife strikes a balance between compact carry and full-size capability. The pocket clip keeps it secure and accessible, making it a dependable option for everyday carry whether you’re on the job, in the field, or handling daily cutting needs. When it’s time to store or transport the knife, the included black molded plastic storage case provides durable protection.
This is a knife that doesn’t overcomplicate things. It’s built with proven materials, a strong locking system, and a functional blade shape that works when you need it to. From daily tasks to tougher cutting jobs, it delivers steady performance without compromise.
