Pro-Tech Mordax 3.5" Knife – Red Aluminum, CPM-20CV Stonewash, Button Lock – Made in USA (MX101-Red 20CV)

Red aluminum. Stonewash 20CV. The Mordax platform at its most visually direct.

The Mordax is a Ferrum Forge collaboration that Pro-Tech built into one of the more addictive button lock flippers in production. Ferrum Forge brought the design, Pro-Tech brought the manufacturing, and the result is a knife that carries well, opens fast, and locks up with a satisfying click every single time. The red aluminum handle makes this version easy to identify and hard to ignore. The stonewash CPM-20CV drop point blade keeps the performance side of the equation well covered.

A Flipper That Holds Up to the Reputation The Mordax was one of the most anticipated production releases when it launched, and the action delivers on what people expected.

• Flipper tab fires the blade smoothly and consistently
• Button releases for a clean gravity-assisted drop-shut every time
• Bearing pivot keeps deployment fast and repeatable

It is the kind of knife you find yourself opening and closing more than you planned to. That is not an accident.

Red Aluminum Handle The red handle does not try to be subtle and it does not need to.

• Red anodized 6061 aluminum
• Clean, solid profile with no inlay or secondary texture
• Blasted hardware and blasted deep carry clip keep the rest of the build grounded

The red is bold without the rest of the knife competing with it. The finish choices around it are restrained on purpose.

CPM-20CV Stonewash Blade CPM-20CV sits at the top of the wear resistance conversation for production blade steels.

• Exceptional edge retention that holds up over extended daily use
• Strong corrosion resistance in real carry conditions
• Takes a refined edge and keeps it longer than most comparable steels

Stonewash finish hides wear naturally and gives the blade a hard-working look from day one.

Ferrum Forge Design, Pro-Tech Build Ferrum Forge Knife Works is one of the most respected design studios working in production knives. The Mordax was their collaboration with Pro-Tech and it reflects both companies doing what they do best.

• Drop point geometry with plenty of belly for slicing
• Finger choil for a choked-up grip when control matters
• Clean handle lines that work in hand without needing to think about it

Button Lock Detent System The Mordax was the first production flipper to feature Pro-Tech's tuned button lock detent system.

• Crisp, defined break when the flipper fires
• Solid lockup under load
• One button releases the blade for a smooth, gravity-assisted close

Made in the USA Pro-Tech has been manufacturing knives in Placentia, California since 1994. Every Mordax is machined and assembled in-house to Pro-Tech's own tolerances. The action and fit reflect that track record.

Why This One Stands Out The Mordax in red aluminum is a straightforward configuration on one of the best production button lock flippers available. The color gives it character. The 20CV blade steel gives it performance headroom above the standard MagnaCut versions.

If you want the Mordax and you want it to stand out in a tray, this is the one.
