The North Mountain Blade x Jason Grant Gripper V2 brings elite custom design language into a production folding knife. Designed by Jason Grant and built in collaboration with North Mountain Blade, this model represents a fusion of artistic vision, tactical ergonomics, and purposeful construction.
Jason Grant is a San Diego–based American craftsman whose work spans three demanding disciplines:
-
34-year master tattoo artist with a refined eye for line work, texture, and flow
-
Master-class competitive shooter, where grip geometry and control are non-negotiable
-
Founder of Brass Brigade, producing high-end custom tools and blades for serious users
His design philosophy is defined by “Overbuilt Excellence.” Every line, surface, and transition serves a functional purpose. The Gripper V2 embodies that mindset—aggressive where it needs to be, controlled where it matters, and unmistakably intentional in hand.
This collaboration pairs Jason’s custom design language with North Mountain Blade’s production capability, making a tool that would normally exist only as a one-off accessible to a wider audience.
Built with CPM 3V blade steel, grid-textured titanium handles, and a frame lock, The Gripper V2 stands as the flagship expression of this partnership—where custom pedigree meets scalable craftsmanship.
