North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Crossbar Lock Folder Tan Frag G-10 Handle Tanto Blade NMB2418TANG5

The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Crossbar Lock Folder in tan frag G-10 with a tanto blade is a no-nonsense EDC built for dependable performance, solid grip, and everyday versatility. It brings together proven materials and a functional design that’s made to handle real work without adding unnecessary bulk.

At the center is a 3.5-inch tanto blade forged from 10Cr15MoV steel with a 5-layer copper-clad construction. This layered build adds both durability and visual character, while the steel itself delivers reliable edge retention and strength for repeated use. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip that excels at piercing and controlled detail work, while the straight cutting edge handles slicing and push cuts with efficiency. It’s a blade shape built for versatility across a wide range of tasks.

The handle features tan G-10 in a frag pattern, offering both durability and a secure grip in hand. The textured surface enhances traction, making it easier to maintain control in wet, dusty, or demanding conditions. G-10 is well known for its resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and wear, making it a dependable choice for both outdoor and everyday environments. The integrated lanyard hole adds another layer of carry flexibility when you need extra retention.

The Chop 2 is equipped with a crossbar lock, delivering strong, consistent lockup with 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 for controlled closure. The thumb disk keeps the design streamlined while still offering quick, reliable access to the blade.

At 4.5 inches closed, the knife strikes a balance between compact carry and full working capability. The pocket clip keeps it secure and accessible, making it easy to carry throughout the day whether you’re on the job, in the field, or handling routine tasks. When it’s time to store or transport the knife, the included black molded plastic storage case provides durable protection.

This is a knife built around function first. It delivers the strength, control, and reliability you need in an everyday carry, backed by materials that are proven to perform under pressure.
