Description

The RMX Thumbstud is the dedicated manual version of the RMX platform. In this video we break down everything you need to know about the knife, how it differs from the convertible manual-to-auto RMX, and how to get the most out of it.

We cover how the detent system works, why the thumbstud RMX cannot be converted to an automatic, and the different ways you can deploy the blade including thumb flick, reverse flick off the fuller, and button lock operation.

You'll also learn how to maintain the M390 blade steel, what to expect when sharpening it, and why the burr can be smaller than other steels when forming an edge.

If you're curious about the RMX thumbstud knife or wondering how it compares to the manual-to-auto RMX, this video walks through the design choices, deployment options, and maintenance tips so you can get the most out of the knife.
