Love it
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad you love it. :)
I purchased the Razor VX5 mid September of 2024.
Since the purchase of this knife it has been used for mild to medium duty tasks ranging from cutting steak to carving wood.
The knife performs well as it's intended use for light duty tasks such as making quick work of breaking down boxes and cutting rope. I prefer the straight edge for most tasks and it holds an edge really well.
I'm on my second replacement blade, a quick run across a strop or stone will get them back to hair splitting sharp for longer life.
Concerns: The blade will pop out if down force and drawing the the blade in a saw motion is used. So if you are cutting thick card board or shaving wood it can release on its own. This is unexpected and sometimes dangerous.
The pretty red anodized spacers in the back of the knife are only coated and the finish wears off. Disappointing because I really like the way it looks against the carbon fiber.
The pocket clip has loosened up twice and eventually I needed to remove it and add thread locker to keep them from falling out.
Conclusion: as a every day knife it works pretty good, the cosmetics finishes don't hold up, but look nice. The replacement blades are incredible. If you need to use this knife for heavy duty tasks it will fail.
Thank you for providing such a detailed review! Sorry to hear that you've been having issues with blade retention though, which is an issue we cover under our Lifetime Warranty program. Our warranty dept. will be reaching out to you directly to get you a replacement knife.
I love Outdoor Edge but all these VX series are pretty much the same knife. I wish they offered a 2.5" or 2.2" with a pocket clip and spring assist.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and provide feedback on our Razor VX line. Our VX knives were designed to be similar across a range of prices, from the cheaper end of the VX1 with its straightforward features, to the more expensive VX5 with its design enhancements. But, we hear you, and we're always innovating and introducing new products. We'll pass this feedback along to our design team!
I love the knife and would still be using it but the clip broke and I can’t find a replacement. Plan to buy another knife eventually but mine is still like new besides the broken clip.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Glad to hear you like the knife, and sorry that the clip broke, but we do offer replacement parts free of charge, and we have clips for that knife that we can send you. We'll reach out directly to get you sorted with a new clip, but if you have any need in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out via our warranty service request form at the following link: https://www.outdooredge.com/pages/contact-us. Cheers!
I bought an sx5 at Walmart, are the blades the same as a vx5? If not where do I get blades? And why is the sx5 not showing up on your website??
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and sorry for any confusion. The SX line is a Walmart-exclusive based on our popular VX line, and yes, they use the same blades. Hopefully that helps!
