North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-JD – 3.5" 10Cr15CoMoV Top Liner Lock Folding Knife
The Chameleon is the first knife North Mountain Blade has built with a top liner lock. The blade is a wide, flat-ground 3.5" of 10Cr15CoMoV, 3.5 mm thick, with an oversized thumb hole for opening. The JD version pairs the Chameleon's wide blade with jade G10, the pale mint green North Mountain uses across several of its folders. It is easy to spot in a pack or on a dark workbench, and G10 holds up to water and solvents without fuss. Going Gear is an authorized North Mountain Blade dealer.
