Just got a blue Alox MiniChamp
on: July 11, 2013, 10:09:18 PM
So I just happened to be on eBay a couple of weeks ago looking for a 58mm Alox SAK for my keychain when I came across this. It's a used Blue Alox MiniChamp from the SwissBianco sprint run. The anodizing is worn, but after a bit of cleaning and oiling all of the tools work beautifully. It also ended up being cheaper than a new cellidor version, pretty cool considering that SwissBianco is selling the new Alox MiniChamps he has in stock for close to $90 shipped.

That's nice! I want to mod one with silver alox, but those tiny parts and my giant sausage fingers don't mix.

Love the large 58mm knives, funny because I only like the smaller large frame knives.  Congratulations on that one!

And very nice and uniform scale anodizing wear too, with no damaged tools :tu:

Excellent find for sure!
