4everYoung's 30 day Pioneer X challenge.
on: January 02, 2017, 06:02:16 PM
The Pioneer X is new to me and has really thrown my edc out of wack. So I'm committing to a 30 day challenge of carrying and using the PX.
Not sure if this fits into any badge specifically, but I'm hoping to at least find where the PX fits in with my edc.

So here's day 1/30

Opening some late Christmas gifts.
Merit Badges Start a new thread and post a photo of any gear for thirty (30) consecutive days during the MTo anniversary month. Start a new thread and post a photo of the minimal sak (2 layers or fewer) for thirty (30) consecutive days.  Start a new thread and post a photo of the Vic Pioneer X for thirty (30) consecutive days.

Day 2/30
Used the can opener as an orange peeler. Worked well actually.



And my daughter was playing in a box and requested a skylight and window. (No she was not in the box when I cut it. as info )

The can opener works so well for that, you'd almost think that was it's original intended purpose 😁

Today was the first time I tried it. But that's what this challenge is about for me. Find what the tool and I can accomplish.
So I consider today a plus one in that list.

Day 3/30
Used the "X" of the Pioneer X to cut up some paracord and make a new key lanyard. Used the awl in pushing the paracord thru.

I can definitely see this. I think the challenge has made me more aware of the useful nature of the tool Vs just the safety factor of knowing I have a tool (If that makes sense).
The PX has a smaller tool selection compared to many other SAK models. With only 9 listed tools, I started thinking . 9 tools doesn't mean 9 uses. There's much that the PX could be capable of than just the listed 9 functions.
I think that pretty much sums up the theme of this challenge for me. Seeing just how much I can accomplish with very little. And really just kinda growing with the tool.

Went in a hike with my Dad today. Had planned on taking more pics but my stupid battery died. Lucky I snagged this one early on. 
Played around with the awl. Using it to drill holes in some fallen wood.  And whittled some small limbs while we took a break.
Also added a small lanyard to the knife.

Nice one!  I actually used my PX to slice up a Hickory Farms combo at my folks' house over the holiday.  But their's didn't have bacon IN the cheese, that seems like winner  :tu:

On a completely unrelated note, I like the 93mm blade for occasional food work, much more than celidor, though I have no real reason why (maybe less chance of stuff getting stuck under the scales?).

I've found myself using it daily for food prep as well. Even while in my kitchen I find myself just grabbing it to slice stuff Vs trying to find a sharp knife among all the dull ones.
Actually just ate dinner and used it to cut up my daughters pizza and cheese bread. She will tell me to "use your knife to cut my food Daddy". She thinks it makes it special that her food is cut by a special knife.

Howdy 4everYoung. Cool thread. I too am giving the Pioneer X a try. I have a question that I was wondering if you could help me out with...

I bought my Pioneer X from a reputable online retailer. I just received it and I am questioning its authenticity. The box was sealed, but the knife had fingerprints on it already. It also seems to have some poor machining on the alox handles, and the blade, if closed slowly, will stay partly open.

I attached a couple photos. Can you please let me know what you think? Thanks!

Well I'm definitely not a SAK expert or anywhere close. So take this as my very humble opinion. My knife has similar marks at the edge of the alox scales. It doesn't bother me personally since it is a user knife. I would be more concerned with the knife not closing. That seems to be an issue. My knife has that classic snap to it. Open and close.

Is your knife marked with Vic Swiss made logo?

Howdy 4everYoung. Cool thread. I too am giving the Pioneer X a try. I have a question that I was wondering if you could help me out with...

I bought my Pioneer X from a reputable online retailer. I just received it and I am questioning its authenticity. The box was sealed, but the knife had fingerprints on it already. It also seems to have some poor machining on the alox handles, and the blade, if closed slowly, will stay partly open.

I attached a couple photos. Can you please let me know what you think? Thanks!
Yikes! I think I would be getting a refund whether it had the Vic stamp on the blade or not, and find a different dealer.

Well I'm definitely not a SAK expert or anywhere close. So take this as my very humble opinion. My knife has similar marks at the edge of the alox scales. It doesn't bother me personally since it is a user knife. I would be more concerned with the knife not closing. That seems to be an issue. My knife has that classic snap to it. Open and close.

Is your knife marked with Vic Swiss made logo?

4everYoung, thanks for sharing your thoughts. The knife does have the Swiss made marking on the blade just like yours. I do agree the blade closure is the biggest issue and will probably send it back due to that. All of my other SAKs snap nicely. What was your previous EDC? I like to keep it minimal and my current favorite is the Swiss Army Executive. I also recently got a ThruNite Ti3 NW that I am quite pleased with.

Roc, thanks for sharing your thoughts as well.

Nice. Thanks. I probably will try getting another one. I like the solid feel, and I really like the look of the alox scales. I use the scissors all the time, so I was happy to see this model come out.

Day 5/30


Slow day today. More of the same, food prep, used the scissors to trim my finger nails. No good action shots. But I did visit with my great grandfather's camillus and my Grandpa's sabre.
