The North Mountain Blade Coyote Yamainu 2603-BK is a folding hunting knife designed by North Mountain Blade for field dressing and outdoor cutting. Its 3.35" stonewashed 10Cr15MoV drop point blade has an S-shaped belly that glides through hide and meat, and a thin 3 mm stock for better slicing. The black G10 handle is CNC-contoured for comfort, and an ambidextrous crossbar lock and reversible pocket clip suit left- and right-handed users.

The name joins the American coyote — adaptability and survival — with YAMAINU (山犬, "mountain dog"), reflecting the brand's Japanese design roots.
