The RMX is built around choice. Want a crisp, mechanical manual? You’ve got it. Want the snap of a coil-spring auto? Just swap the pivot. This modular design is part of what makes the RMX special—and in this video, Kyle shares five real-world tips to make that swap quick, clean, and (most importantly) safe.
Whether you’re a seasoned modder or a first-timer testing the auto action, these are things you’ll want to know before cracking open your knife. From spring tension quirks to pivot tuning secrets, we’ve figured out what works.
This video is meant to pair with our step-by-step RMX pivot swap guide (linked below). If you're looking for the why behind this feature, check out our [Work Sharp RMX story video], where:
Josh talks about the RMX vision and how the knife fits into Work Sharp’s journey.
Dan dives into the engineering choices like the magnesium integral handle and modular pivot system.
Alex walks through the sharpening process, assembly, and how we built a knife that’s fun to work on.
The RMX isn’t just a knife—it’s a platform. Right-to-repair thinking, modular mechanics, and the kind of carry that rewards curiosity.
