The North Mountain Blade CHOP 4 2412-ORCF is part of the brand's flagship front-flipper lineup — the series that helped spark the front flipper trend in Asia, with over 50,000 units sold. At the core is a 3.5" Japanese-style tanto blade forged from SLD-Magic Japanese steel in a three-layer San Mai construction, with a visible hamon wave line and 60–61 HRC hardness for outstanding edge retention and cutting performance. The orange ceramic carbon fiber handle adds a bold, high-visibility look while staying light and strong, and the front flipper rides on ceramic ball bearings for crisp, fast deployment. Going Gear is an authorized North Mountain Blade dealer.
