Building on the legacy of the 2406, the 2418 introduces a reinforced structure, upgraded ergonomics, and a fully ambidextrous control layout. At its center is an ultra-durable crossbar lock engineered for consistent lockup and smooth, controlled operation from either side, with a fidget-friendly yet dependable action. A reversible pocket clip and dedicated lanyard hole enable true left- or right-handed carry. What defines the 2418-CF-5 is its in-house forged 5-layer copper-clad steel blade—a construction usually reserved for far more expensive custom knives—with a visible copper core line that is both a visual signature and proof of North Mountain Blade's forging capability. Finished with carbon fiber handles, it pairs the refined look of forged steel with a modern composite grip.
