Should I buy some alox, or not? They seem pretty enticing to the eye, and seem to look comfortable to use, but they have a limited tool range and high price. Not to mention I can't buy one around here.

Maybe start with something simple like a farmer or pioneer.  You wont get the neat colors but they'll also be less expensive to try.  Maybe a cadet?
okay, let me rephrase that. I have a cadet and a classic, but really feel left out in the 93mm department, and I have fallen in love with the pioneer x and farmer.

That's one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say; this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way.

Thank you guys, glad if you like.  :cheers:

I have long thought how to present and store my Alox handy and clear.
So I built this showcase.



I would be really interested in how other collectors keep their collections.  :pok:

The issue I have is that I like to keep them boxed, so any display case system is not useful, for me.
So, I just use plastic boxes.

Do you you have any pics of each color of the Alox SAKs you have? I'd like to complete (try to) the Color Palette of SAKwiki but i lack both the knowledge of existing colors and the colored Alox corresponding xD

No, a photo of all colors I did not.
I am also not a good photographer.
the alox colors on my photos looks often different as in reality.  :facepalm:

My collection consists mainly of advertising knives as there are not so many different colors. But in red, gold, green and blue, there are many shades.
