North Mountain Blade – Chop Series Teardrop Kwaiken Edition
The Chop Series Teardrop Blade from North Mountain Blade is a refined take on the traditional Japanese Kwaiken design, offering unparalleled practicality for everyday use. This teardrop-shaped blade excels in cutting and piercing, providing better versatility than a Tanto blade. The knife is crafted with Japanese SLD-Magic steel featuring a core hardness of 60HRC, ensuring durability in tough outdoor conditions. The blade’s stunning three-layer gradient gloss—mirror-like at the bottom, misty in the middle, and frosted at the top—is achieved through a patented surface treatment, reflecting the craftsmanship of our skilled artisans.
