Ya, but I'm happy for the seller.

I'm not sure where the line is for 'crazy' on a knife like this, but it sure was way over what I'd have ever paid.

I'm unhappy for our Danish friend who sold the knife initially. He should have charged more!

Just to update you that these were a limited special run from Victorinox and not sold in Denmark.
I'm also very happy for the seller, a great friend of mine.

It just sold, thanks.

These knives demand such prices because of their quality. It may be a bit more than I'm willing to pay but I believe somebody won a nice knife in that auction

I wanted one of each color of pioneer and the blue/orange/green ones for sure cost alot more to get ahold of...

I've given up on getting all the different ones, although, I wouldn't mind one of the Olive Green / Black implement ones.

I want a brown one!

There was a topic mentioning this, Alox prices are really out of control....

Sorry for lack of pics but I bought one of the chocolate brown Pioneers (1/50) from Tim. It's one of my favorite SAKs.

Here's an assortment of colors, but by no mean all that have been offered in the past few years. Most were done in small lots, typically 50, so if you don't grab one when they first appear you're likely to be out of luck or spending big bucks for one. The good news is many of the colors are repeated with different models of knife, so if you miss out the first time you can often pick one up later in a different version.

What I was trying to collect was one of each color that was released as not a standard edition.. i.e. not numbered or marked in any way. Do you know what other colors were released as not the special runs of 50?

Here's what I have so far.

I'd like to have a blue Pioneer ...

ameeks · **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2013, 02:15:39 AM

I'm after a blue Farmer.

I have gold, copper and brown Pioneers, and a purple Farmer; all of which are unnumbered. However I don't know how many of each were produced.
