Hi all, I got a question for you,

So money being quite tight right now, I had to send back to Amazon my dear Pioneer Harvester. It broke my heart. But I guess that's life.

So i'm currently saving up to get another one, one day. I know, 40€ is not "that" expensive. But it's just not the good timing and that's highly frustrating
Sure I could get a regular SAK with plastic handles. They're cheaper. But I want one that's gonna last me for a long time and which blade is actually a bit thicker and more resistant. I see the Alox as an investment basically

With that in mind, I see that the Farmer, comes in black. I find it very beautiful but the price is much higher. However when viewing on this forum photos of colored Alox, it seems that the color tends to go away on the edges of the handles.
So i'm wondering how long does this color actually stay on the knife. Will it go away quickly with sweety hands ? How do you prevent this color to fade away ? Would you recommend to invest in a regular grey Alox SAK to be safe ? If not, is the color fading linked to some sort of mistreatment that I should avoid ?

Thank you very much

Mine sees regular (everyday) carry among my keys, here's the result after some years of use
Other than that I have no experience with alox, I'm afraid. Sorry!

Gee B, I think you will find that alox anodizing is durable but will wear off over time. Many people, myself included, find the experienced look appealing.

I see what you mean. it has a sort of vintage-retro effect. Though I love that on leather-made products, i'm not too sure on a knife
I mean you can buy some jacket which leather had been worked out to have this effect but it's brand new. However on a knife, I think it's decreasing its inherent value.

I don't know. I think I might just go with a regular grey one

The anodizing on the silver alox will wear as well, just not as noticeable. I still prefer worn alox over worn celidor.
