The North Mountain Blade 2418 Chop 2418-GR-5 is the most advanced evolution of the Chop platform to date — redesigned from the ground up for strength, ambidextrous use, and long-term reliability. Building on the legacy of the 2406, the 2418 introduces a reinforced structure, upgraded ergonomics, and a fully ambidextrous control layout.
At the center of the design is an ultra-durable crossbar lock, engineered for consistent lockup and smooth, controlled operation from either side. The action is intentionally fidget-friendly while remaining dependable for real-world use. A reversible pocket clip and dedicated lanyard hole enable true left- or right-handed carry, and the redesigned thumb disk improves leverage and comfort during deployment.
What defines the 2418-GR-5 is its in-house forged 5-layer copper-clad steel blade — a construction typically reserved for far more expensive custom knives. The visible copper core line running through the 3.5" tanto blade is both a visual signature and proof of North Mountain Blade's forging capability. Green G10 handles balance durability, grip, and reduced carry weight while preserving the refined character of the 2418 series.
