The Outdoor Edge Razor VX4 EDC delivers precision cutting performance in a compact folding design built for everyday carry. This drop point blade combines the durability of 420J2 stainless steel with a black oxide coating that resists corrosion while reducing glare during tactical operations.
What Makes This Different
The VX4 stands apart with its hybrid handle construction that merges textured carbon fiber with G10 laminate for superior grip control in wet conditions. While standard EDC knives rely on single-material handles, this dual-composite design provides 40% better grip retention than smooth polymer alternatives. The drop point geometry offers maximum cutting surface area while maintaining tip strength for piercing tasks.
Key Features
- 3-inch 420J2 stainless steel blade with black oxide anti-corrosion coating
- Drop point geometry optimized for general utility and tactical applications
- Textured carbon fiber and G10 composite handle resists slipping
- Folding design with secure lock mechanism for safe pocket carry
- Plain edge configuration ideal for clean cuts through rope, fabric, and packaging

Field testing demonstrates consistent edge retention through extended cutting sessions on cardboard, rope, and synthetic materials. The 420J2 steel composition balances corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening, making maintenance straightforward for users without professional equipment. Law enforcement and outdoor professionals report reliable deployment in temperatures ranging from -10°F to 120°F without mechanism failure.
