Details
The MRX Light Weight automatic side folder by Rat Worx is a new idea on a classic design. Introduced at the 2013 Blade Show, this automatic side folder features a "chain drive". The knife has a chain that wraps around the base of the blade when closed. A spring inside the handle pulls on the chain when the button is pressed and the chain links engage the gear teeth on the back of the blade.
This chain drive distributes the load evenly across the gear of the blade and results in a consistently smooth operation.
Although not as quick as other side folders, there is little to no risk of the knife flying out of ones hands. The handle is sculpted in such a way that it partially obstructs the button, thereby mitigating accidental firings when carried in a pocket.
