Brilliant. Thanks man.

I'll wait till Tim has them in stock. $36.00 for shipping from CVW is a bit

and I'd rather buy from the Catman anyways.

Thanks for the heads up though. Glad to know they are in stock again.

Thanks!

Happy to help. Hoping this is not OLD STOCK and that this is a sign of more colors to come!

Thanks Rick, got one inbound.

Post to Australia brings it up to $40 but I'm working this Saturday morning so this is my treat for the overtime.

Good looking out Rick!

I saw the link and noticed there were over 25 available (or something like that). I went out, came home, got on ebay to order one, and now it says over 55 sold and all gone.

Gotta be quick around these parts! lol

It seems Vic likes to spit out coloured cadets with ease yet make special limited edition versions of their 93mm lines.

enki_ck · **Reply #8 on:** December 28, 2013, 01:15:33 PM

He relisted them for a dollar more for those who missed out on the first batch.

Good looking out! Looks like those of you who missed out might be able to sneak one in still! 10 left at time of posting...

I believe I'm beginning to feel some of the same ways that you do about Victorinox.

There just doesn't seem to be any consistency with their Alox production methods. For the majority, it's strictly on a first come first served basis with not a whole lot of heads-up time to get ready. Gotta be quick on the draw with the colored Alox (whether limited or not).

It sure does seem random doesnt it? Its not like different colored dye costs more than others. Same process too.

It's some down right strange behavior is what I think it is.

The orange and green cadets seem to be NOS that they are dumping- a year end sale if you will.

burnside · **Reply #15 on:** January 03, 2014, 01:03:51 AM

The Green Cadets are back on ebay again. This time they are selling them in lots of 2, 3, 4, and individually.

The singles are selling out fast.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&item=121246698631&pt=Collectible_Knives&_osacat=0&hash=item1c3addcc87&_ssn=centralvalleywholesale&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.Xcadet&_nkw=cadet&_sacat=0&_from=R40

I just bought one for myself. Better jump on the singles if you want to get just one. 12 sold in one hour and now there are only 5 left. They still have 10 lots of 2 for $48 shipped, 10 lots of 3 for $69.88, and 4 lots of 4 for $89.88.

Link to the Green Cadets being sold individually...

they should make a bunch of orange farmers and sell them for $40 instead of $100.

Does anyone have a European seller? The shipping charges are too much, also last time I brought a knife on ebay I got blocked for a week.

FelineVet will have them soon. His international rates are MUCH more reasonable.

multiprim · **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2014, 11:06:00 PM

Not to hijack a thread, but this is the same seller that's moving Alox Bantams at great prices, in singles, pairs, and with other Alox Combo deals which are going for some nice prices, I think.

If it's okay, I'll post the links here. If there's a prob, I'll remove and put in their own post.

Flooding the market.

multiprim · **Reply #24 on:** January 04, 2014, 04:45:01 AM

Can't tell, what shade of Green is it?

Looks too dark to be Olive, but not quite dark/rich enough to be Hunter.

Maybe it's the lighting.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks.

The one I just got from this seller was Olive Green. The label reads "Cadet Olive Green Alox 53047". It looks good.

Darn! Gotta get some, then.
