North Mountain Blade The Chop Frame Lock M390 Folding Knife [2410-C-M390]

A compact metal-handled tanto folder

The Chop concentrates its angular utility blade in a relatively compact titanium-handled package. The forward edge section and pronounced point make it useful to compare with the curved-belly Jellyfish rather than selecting solely by overall length.

Its machined handle gives the fingers a patterned contact surface. The metal locking side is part of the frame-lock structure, while the pocket clip provides a separate carrying attachment.

Steel and maintenance

M390 is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel with high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. Its appeal is an edge that resists abrasive wear during repeated cutting; regular light maintenance helps avoid a more demanding full resharpening.

Handle construction

Titanium provides a corrosion-resistant metal structure. Anodizing and surface machining change its appearance and contact texture; they are different treatments from adding a separate grip scale or inlay.

Supplied equipment

Black molded plastic storage case.
