Description
The North Mountain Blade Chop 2 Red G10 Thumb Disk Edition brings bold styling and smooth mechanics to one of the brand’s all-time bestsellers. Building on the proven CHOP2 platform, this upgraded version introduces a CNC-machined thumb disk modeled after a .45 ACP casing—slightly smaller than a live round, non-functional, but striking in design and fully ambidextrous for smooth one-handed deployment.
Its 3.5" blade is crafted from SLD-Magic steel, hardened and surface-treated with North Mountain’s exclusive process for superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a unique aesthetic. The compound grind blade offers strength at the tip and slicing precision along the edge.
The Red G10 handle houses a reinforced button lock frame, now with a brass inlay around the button for added durability. Combined with a flipper tab, ceramic bearings, and brass bearing cage, the Chop 2 delivers glassy-smooth deployment and secure lockup.
Strong, stylish, and highly functional, this Chop 2 variation combines tactical inspiration with everyday practicality—making it a standout EDC for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
