Description
North Mountain Blade Pocket Katana 2412-BLMCT – 3.3" Black PVD 14C28N Front Flipper Folding Knife
North Mountain Blade says the 2412 has sold more than 50,000 units in Asia, and this Pocket Katana version brings it to the US with a 3.3" Sandvik 14C28N blade in black PVD. You open it with a front flipper tab that sticks out of the spine side of the handle, and the blade runs on caged ceramic ball bearings. The blue Micarta version is the brighter of the two Micarta options. Micarta tends to darken a little and get smoother where your hand rests, so each one ages a bit differently. The clip is reversible for left or right pocket carry. Going Gear is an authorized North Mountain Blade dealer.
