North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-LG – 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. This is the LG colorway of the Chameleon in G10, the heaviest of the three handle options at 154 g. G10 is a fiberglass laminate, so it shrugs off water and sweat and keeps its texture when your hands are wet. Going Gear is an authorized North Mountain Blade dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lock does the North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-LG use?
The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-LG 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-LG?
The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-LG 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-LG 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-LG?
The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-LG has G10 scales. G10 is woven fiberglass set in resin: it does not absorb water, it will not swell or crack in cold, and the textured surface keeps a decent grip when wet. It also makes this the heaviest Chameleon at 5.43 oz.
