The most desirable Alox Limited Edition?

A pair of scissors in that one and I can die in peace.

Man, that really is drool worthy.  I wish I could do multicolored anodizing.  Red shield on black looks SO nice. 

I wonder if I used a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution and a q-tip if I could remove the anodizing on a black shield, and then have them rerun in red anodizing.  My dream combination would be black scale, red shield, red liners.

I'm not sure about the red liners personally (never saw one), but if you want to give it a shot, I'd volunteer my mod as your guinea pig.

How do we know that the black soldier type is Swiss Railway knife? Searching through the web and I have found no infos about it !
Anyone can help with some link referring to that great knife

That black number is lovely, although I'm probably in the "shove some scissors in it" club too!

As for the Duchess (has it also been called a Dogbone?), I have completely forgotten about those and still really want one

My original grail SAK was a First Mate, and I managed to pick one up a few years back luckily. However, there have been many others which caught my eye, and if I really knew which one was the ultimate, I could just hunt it down and stop buying all the other ones when I can.... let's be honest, that's just not going to happen

only limited because they switched to the cheaper awl but the early pioneer is my favorite that I have and use .... did i mention I love that awl

Glad you did not post a pic with the awl opened. 

mmmmm I can always rectify that

Thanks for the pics mate! 

The former awl is more sexier than the newer version. I like how it seems to be an integral part of the knife as opposed to being an accessory. Like the older vehicles with their sculpted and form-fitting contours. Vintage is sexy.

Pssst, here is a little secret that the nice folks in swiss do not want to share with you:

I'd keep it a secret too, but I have no way of getting packages from .ch.  Some really zany alox on there :p

Probably very useful but no English, so it all gets very tricky!

i like the firstmate!

[nsa-x-file]

Did someone mention the Swiss Railway Soldier.......
One of the hardest alox knives to find in great shape, let alone NIB.

I have two in my collection. 


One of the few I would still like to own would be the red soldier from Roger at Swiss Bianco a few years back.
But he only made a few of them and never officially sold them.

I bet most here know that:P
Just Perfect!!!

Prob the 2007 Damasus Soldier.  22 produced, one recently sold for ~$450!
