Frequently Asked Questions
What lock does the North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-BKMCT use?
The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-BKMCT uses a top liner lock, and it is the first North Mountain Blade knife with one. As with any liner lock, a spring bar inside the handle moves in behind the blade tang when the knife opens; push the bar aside with your thumb to close the blade.
What is the blade length of the North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-BKMCT?
The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-BKMCT has a 3.5" (85 mm) blade, 3.5 mm thick, on an 8" overall length. Check your local laws, since some cities cap carry blades at 3".
Is 10Cr15CoMoV good knife steel?
Yes, for an EDC knife at this price. The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-BKMCT uses 10Cr15CoMoV, a Chinese stainless with cobalt, molybdenum and vanadium added. It resists rust well and is easy to bring back to sharp on a stone; it will not hold an edge as long as premium powder steels such as M390.
What is the handle made of on the North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-BKMCT?
The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-BKMCT uses black canvas Micarta. The resin-and-canvas laminate has a matte, grippy texture that tends to polish slightly with carry. It is lighter than G10, bringing the knife to 5.11 oz.
