The North Mountain Blade Chop Crossbar Lock Folding Knife in SLD-Magic steel with olive drab green G-10 handles delivers a rugged, functional EDC build with premium materials and a clean, work-focused design. It features a 3.58” Japanese-style tanto blade crafted from SLD-Magic steel, a high-performance tool steel valued for its strong edge retention, toughness, and dependable cutting ability.
The tanto profile reinforces the tip for confident piercing tasks while maintaining a straight cutting edge that handles controlled slicing and general utility work with ease. Dual thumb studs provide smooth, ambidextrous deployment, allowing fast one-handed opening from either side of the blade. Paired with the crossbar lock system, the action is secure, consistent, and fully ambidextrous, delivering strong lockup and a satisfying, fidget-friendly operation built for repeated use.
Olive drab green G-10 handle scales give the knife a classic field-ready look with a durable, textured surface that enhances grip in varied conditions. G-10 construction ensures long-term toughness, resisting moisture, impact, and wear while keeping the knife lightweight and reliable in hand. At 5.08” closed, it carries with a solid, balanced feel while still riding comfortably in the pocket. A stainless steel pocket clip and lanyard hole offer flexible carry options depending on preference and use case.
