let your mind run wild for a moment.... imagine a silver alox swisschamp WITH tweezers toothpick and pen still in their 'proper' place  :drool:
I will buy it in a second, if they decide to make it. :D

*snip*

Anyone else lean toward the alox?

In a word, yes  :D

At least I know I'm not the only one. I hate to say it, but if I carry an alox SAK for a while and don't rotate, then when I go back and carrying a cellidor, the cellidor feels cheap.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

The + isnt needed though, I think I just like the look, but it could be anything.  Heck even an engraved photo of MacGyver for a tribute edition! :D 

Oh, great... :facepalm: I'm NEVER going to be able to get rid of that brainworm of an idea idea until I try it and fail.

Yep. That's my dream knife.

With MiniChamp, PX and Carver in my EDC, I think I am.

To go lightweight, I have my old Solo and a Classic.

Today it's the MiniChamp with the Woodsman.

You might think it's a good decision... just be aware of:

I was only going to get the Pioneer X...   :whistle:

It's like popcorn--so hard to stop with just one mouthful...you just want to continue until the popcorn is gone.  :)

My interest in Alox SAKs continues to soar!  I love having them and want more!  Although Victorinox makes Alox and Cellidor SAKs, I see them as separate and desirable acquisitions.  In my mind, there is no competition between the two types of SAKs.  I don't want one type over the other...I want them both!

I wouldn't want to give up the tweezers and pick even though it is rare for me to use the pick (and never on my teeth).  My favorite SAK is the Explorer and I don't think it would work in Alox and neither would the Swiss Champ.  The inline awl on most of my Alox SAKs is amazing!

The only leaning one can expect from me is to keep getting Alox and Cellidor SAKs. :)

100% Alox here. I do have a few celidor models but they just sit in my knife drawer.

I posted this on another forum as well but..Alox is another world in my opinion. VERY solid and even though you have stainless blades, the colored scales get better looking the more wear they have. Scale patina if you will. ;) They're just great knives\tools that hold their own with other traditional style knives in the looks department. These two SAKs are becoming my most carried and used knives.
