The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 (2406-Red) Thumb Disk Edition brings bold styling and smooth mechanics to one of the brand's all-time bestsellers. Building on the proven Chop 2 platform, this version adds a CNC-machined thumb disk modeled after a .45 ACP casing — non-functional but striking, and fully ambidextrous for smooth one-handed deployment.
Its 3.5" blade is crafted from SLD-Magic steel, hardened and surface-treated with North Mountain's exclusive process for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. The compound grind offers strength at the tip and slicing precision along the edge. The red G10 handle houses a reinforced button lock with a brass inlay, plus a flipper tab and ceramic bearings in a brass cage. Going Gear is an authorized North Mountain Blade dealer.
