The Outdoor Edge OX10C Onyx delivers three interchangeable blades in one compact folding knife, eliminating the need to carry multiple cutting tools in the field. This multi-blade system provides hunters, outdoor professionals, and tactical users with specialized cutting edges for different tasks without compromising portability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional single-blade folders, the OX10C houses three distinct blade profiles within a single handle system. The primary 3.5-inch drop point blade handles general cutting tasks, while two additional blades offer specialized geometry for skinning and detail work. This configuration reduces gear weight by 60% compared to carrying three separate knives while maintaining cutting versatility across multiple applications.
Key Features
- Three interchangeable 420J2 stainless steel blades with satin/black oxide finish
- 3.5-inch drop point primary blade with plain edge for general utility
- 4.5-inch black textured Grivory handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Folding design with secure blade lock mechanism for safe carry
- Compact profile fits standard belt sheaths and tactical pouches
- Corrosion-resistant blade coating extends field life in harsh environments
- Quick blade-change system requires no additional tools
Field testing demonstrates consistent edge retention across all three blades during extended use scenarios. The 420J2 stainless steel composition balances corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening, making maintenance practical in remote locations. The textured Grivory handle material maintains grip security in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 150°F, while the folding mechanism reduces snag potential during tactical movement or brush navigation.
