North Mountain Blade 2414-A-ZDP189-C – 3.2" ZDP-189 San Mai Tanto Folding Knife
The North Mountain Blade 2414-A-ZDP189-C is a collaboration between North Mountain Blade and custom knifemaker Lee Williams, pairing elite Japanese metallurgy with the patented Kickstop deployment system. This variant features a patterned anodized titanium handle over a full titanium chassis, while the heart of the knife is a Japanese ZDP-189 San Mai tanto blade hardened to HRC 65–67 for extreme edge retention. The Kickstop hidden flipper vanishes into the handle when open, preserving a clean tanto silhouette, and a ceramic ball-bearing pivot keeps the action fast and controlled. Going Gear is an authorized North Mountain Blade dealer.
