Craftsmanship and Material: The blade is crafted from high-performance SLD-Magic steel, produced in Japan, with a core hardness of 60HRC, designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. Our exclusive surface treatment ensures genuine hot-forged patterns on the blade steel, as opposed to laser engravings, resulting in an authentic layered steel construction. The surface finish is achieved through a patented polishing technique by skilled artisans in our factory, showcasing a three-layer gradient gloss: the lower part of the blade features a mirror-like shine, the middle part has a misty effect, and the upper part is frosted, reminiscent of the exquisite finish of a traditional Japanese samurai sword.

Unique Design: The knife features a Micarta handle, offering both comfort and durability. The thoughtful design and practical dimensions make this knife an ideal choice for everyday carry and outdoor adventures alike. All our products are produced in-house at North Mountain Blade, with full control over every stage of quality assurance, ensuring each knife meets the highest standards.

Design Philosophy: At North Mountain Blade, we are committed to combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to deliver the finest knife experience. The Teardrop Blade Series is not just a practical tool, but a work of art that reflects meticulous craftsmanship.
