Chop
North Mountain Blade KickStop Chop is a folding knife known for its blend of traditional Japanese blade design with modern innovation.
Here are some key features:
Tanto Blade: Features a striking tanto blade, often with a Hamon line, designed for efficient cutting and durability.
KickStop Flipper: Incorporates the Lee Williams' KickStop mechanism, a hidden flipper that provides smooth and rapid deployment while maintaining a clean, streamlined look as the flipper tab tucks away when the knife is open.
Handle: May feature milled scales (like titanium or G10) for a secure, ergonomic grip.
Locking Mechanism: Uses a secure locking mechanism, such as a frame lock or liner lock, to keep the blade securely in place.
Smooth Action: Often includes a caged ceramic bearing system for a smooth opening and closing action.
Materials: Available in different blade materials like M390, ZDP-189, and SLD steel. Handle materials can include titanium or G10.
Aesthetics: Emphasizes clean aesthetics and the beauty of the tanto blade shape, as the KickStop mechanism allows the flipper to disappear when open.
