Another reason to love ALOX
on: January 26, 2010, 10:04:23 PM
Just when I thought I couldn't love it anymore I proved myself wrong.

This morning at o'dark thirty (1 1/2 -2 hours before sunrise) I was geting something out of my wife's car getting ready to go to work.

Having snowed during the night her car door likes to freeze up so being the good hubby I am, I broke the lock loose and spray it down with JIG-A-LOO.

As I was working it back and forth I dropped my Soldier in the snow, picking it up I brushed it off a little finished my work and slid the Soldier in my pocket.

Some five hours later at work I thought about what I did, took the Soldier out blew what was left of the water out of it and just basically gave it a quick look over.

I never really thought about it getting hurt when I dropped it in the snow or just brushed the snow off or even pocket it while it was still wet.

Would I have done this with a cellidor SAK?  To be honest NO  For the simple reason as cold as it was this morning and the height of the drop it would have been a good possibility I could have cracked the handle.

Would have I put it in my pocket wet?  NO I would have found a way to blew it out first.

ALOX they are built like a TANK so you don't have to worry about life's little OH OH's  :ahhh   JUST ANOTHER REASON TO LOVE ALOX... :tu:

I dream that way too ;) but the models would have to have the alox versions of the can opener, bottler opener (unless it's the 111mm locking)
blade and awl.

I would love to own an alox OHT. :cheers:
