Alox Packaging

[obgmugen]

Hello folks. Just have a quick question for you. I recently bought my first Alox Pioneer and I bought it off this guy from ebay:  http://stores.ebay.com/Altatac?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

It comes in a clamshell package. I know that all SAK's are made in Switzerland but i was kinda concerned about the packaging. Is it in a clamshell because it was US-bought? Are the boxed knives more desirable? Should I be leery of clamshell-packaged SAK's? Thank you in advance!

No worries on being leery of clamshell packaging. I actually prefer it as you know for sure no one has ever opened it.

Welcome to the forum.

Outstanding. Thanks for the reply and the welcome. I actually would much rather prefer the boxes. Went to Zurich back in '12 but only got token wenger evo's. It's when i went back to the US and 2 years later when the SAK bug bit me. Sucks. Oh well. Hopefully i can arrange a second trip to Switzerland.

By the way, for those who have never been there, i HIGHLY recommend going. Put it on the bucket list. Hands down THE most beautiful, clean, historic, progressive, and efficient country EVER. AND sak's as far as eye can see.

I have always wanted to go to Switzerland. Maybe someday.

Anyways, glad to have you on the forum.

Ive bought lots from that seller and they are all the clamshell type. Maybe he bought out a store or something as that is the type that is often found in retail locations.

Ahhh....good to know someone here has gotten stuff from the same guy. His prices are VERY GOOD. I wish he had more alox stuff though.
