What handle material does the North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Stripe 2403-S have?
The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Stripe 2403-S features a CNC-machined aluminum bronze handle with a striped pattern. Aluminum bronze is highly corrosion-resistant and hard, resists denting, develops a unique antique patina over time, and gives the knife a solid, premium heft.
What lock type does the North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Stripe 2403-S use?
The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Stripe 2403-S uses a button lock. The button lock allows quick, ambidextrous one-hand opening and closing, and pairs with a caged ceramic ball-bearing pivot for a smooth, secure action.
What is a tanto blade?
A tanto blade, as featured on the North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Stripe 2403-S, has a high, angular tip with a reinforced point. This geometry concentrates strength at the tip for excellent piercing power and durability, while the flat grind slices cleanly.
Is the North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Stripe 2403-S a good EDC knife?
Yes — the North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Stripe 2403-S blends a tough SLD-Magic San Mai tanto blade with a luxurious aluminum bronze handle, smooth ceramic bearing deployment, and a secure button lock. It is built for collectors and EDC enthusiasts who want a knife that performs as well as it looks.
