North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-TAN – 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 tan G10 Chameleon is the low-key option: an earth-tone handle that looks at home on a hunting trip or clipped to work pants. G10 is about as low-maintenance as handle materials get and does not mind mud or rain. Going Gear is an authorized North Mountain Blade dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lock does the North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-TAN use?

What is the blade length of the North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-TAN?
The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-TAN 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-TAN 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-TAN?
The North Mountain Blade The Chameleon 2609-TAN has tan G10 scales. G10 is a fiberglass laminate that is waterproof, hard to scratch, and keeps its grip texture for years. The G10 Chameleons weigh 5.43 oz.
