The North Mountain Blade Kick Stop Chop Plus in Khaki Brown G-10 brings a grounded, field-ready aesthetic to one of the brand’s most mechanically advanced folding knife platforms. Designed for hard use with refined execution, this knife pairs modern steel performance with a distinctive handle style and the signature Kickstop deployment system that sets the Chop series apart.
At the core is a Japanese-style tactical tanto blade crafted from SLD-Magic steel, a proven high-performance tool steel known for strong edge retention, toughness, and reliable cutting ability. The tanto geometry reinforces the tip for confident piercing strength while maintaining a long, straight cutting edge that handles slicing tasks with control and authority. The blade’s clean grind and purposeful design make it equally capable in everyday utility work and more demanding cutting situations.
Deployment is handled by the Lee Williams Kickstop flipper mechanism, engineered for smooth, fast action while keeping the flipper tab hidden once the blade is open. This creates a cleaner handle profile in use while still delivering a crisp, mechanical snap on deployment. It’s a system built for efficiency, offering both fidget-friendly action and dependable real-world performance.
The Khaki Brown G-10 handle scales give this version a rugged, understated look that fits naturally in outdoor or tactical environments. The earth-toned colorway pairs with G-10’s proven durability, offering a tough, impact-resistant surface with excellent grip security. Subtle texturing enhances control without feeling abrasive, keeping the knife comfortable during extended use while still locking into the hand when needed most.
A solid frame lock mechanism secures the blade with confidence once deployed, delivering strong lockup and long-term reliability. A stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure carry and quick access, keeping the knife ready whether it’s riding in the pocket or clipped to gear.
