Description
The North Mountain Blade Chop Crossbar Lock (2532-GR) is a tactical, work-ready folding knife designed for reliability, strength, and long-term daily use. Built around North Mountain Blade’s newly engineered crossbar lock mechanism, this model delivers smooth deployment, secure lockup, and confidence you can feel—backed by a 10-year mechanical warranty.
At its core is a 3.58-inch SLD-Magic tanto blade, hardened to 60 HRC for exceptional edge retention and durability. The reinforced tanto geometry provides a strong tip for piercing tasks while maintaining excellent cutting performance across the edge. Every blade is heat-treated for structural integrity, making the Chop a true workhorse rather than a safe-queen.
The OD green G10 handle is engineered for real-world use. Known for its strength-to-weight ratio, dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture and chemicals, G10 delivers a secure grip even in harsh conditions. This makes the Chop Crossbar Lock an ideal choice for users who value function, durability, and cost-effective performance over cosmetic finishes.
Measuring 8.66 inches overall, the Chop balances full-size capability with everyday usability. Tactical, refined, and dependable, it’s a knife built to be used hard—and trusted for years.
