The EDX features highly unique, extremely robust design and construction. It includes two radical, patent-pending technologies:

The “In-Line” Clip/Lock System is a high-performance lock with auto-retracting pocket clip function in one moving part. It’s a powerful, uncomplicated system designed for hard-use, hostile-environment applications.

The “Lockdown” Pivot System combines adjustability with structural-support capabilities. It allows blade adjustment like a standard pivot, but is tightened to perform as a rigid structural support (like a standoff). This results in unprecedented assembly rigidity by providing true support at the best possible place -- at the pivot point. This advantage enhances assembly performance and provides unique opportunities for the knife designer.
