I won this black alox minichamp on eBay a few days ago. Showed up today. It had an abused main and emergency blade, and the tip of the main blade was slightly proud of the scale (I've seen this on almost every "Victorinox Swiss Made Stainless" stamped 58mm I've handled). A few minutes on the stones fixed the edges and a little manipulation of the main blade kick fixed the proud of the scales issue.

I probably overpaid, especially given the issues, but black isn't sold in the US, and I've been missing by black alox classic that I got at the same time as my pioneer but lost earlier this year.

Hopefully I end up liking it, even though I'm usually much more minimalist. It makes me wonder, though, since it's almost as thick as the pioneer  :ahhh

Let's get this back on the first page.

Here is all of my alox. At least as far as I can remember.

The quantity is probably doing well by normal people standards, but failing at MTO  :whistle:

Top row, left to right: Elinox old cross pioneer, dark gray pioneer, new black pioneer, used black pioneer, new red farmer, used red farmer, advertising secretary(?), custom tool-less 58mm, alox classic.

Bottom row: alox classic, alox rambler (mod from minichamp)

It’s my pens fault! I am a big fan of recycling so when I saw this pen and that Victorinox was in on the program with Nespresso. I knew I had to get one...well two.  :whistle:
