Frequently Asked Questions about Razor VX 5
Question 1
How do I replace the blade on the Razor VX 5?
To replace the blade, you simply press the low-profile release button on the blade holder. Once the lock is disengaged, you can slide the old blade out and insert a fresh 300 or 301 series blade until it clicks securely into place.
Question 2
What is the benefit of the ceramic ball bearing pivot?
The ceramic ball bearing pivot offers a smoother opening action than traditional bronze washers. Because ceramic does not rust or corrode, the pivot remains fast and reliable even after exposure to moisture or sweat in the field.

Yes, the discrete carry clip is fully reversible. You can easily unscrew the clip and move it to the opposite side of the handle, making the knife comfortable for both left-handed and right-handed users.

Question 5
Are the blades included with the knife sharpenable?
