I have a question for all you alox lovers.  I adore the way red alox looks as the red wears off. What other colors look good once they wear? It's so hard to find pictures of worn alox that isn't red.

I suppose worn red alox is so prevalent because of all the foosty old cross pioneers kicking about, but I totally agree with Nixy, I think black worn alox looks the best... followed by blue (Speedy  :pok:) and green (Matty  :salute:).

Okay, okay... How abouts this then. Why not fill your pocket with gravel and sharp sand... and give yourself a bit of a bounce when you walk about, do a twirl every so often too? You'll achieve that lovely worn alox look in not time... and be a hit with the ladies!  :2tu:

Any worn alox looks good but worn blue beats them all.

That does look sweet Fred.  :like:

I expect that demand for rebuilt Alox SAKs with worn scales will increase in time. A bit like what they do with some classic cars by restoring the mechanics but leaving the aged patina paintwork.

Great stuff everybody. The worn red still calls out to me, but I think I may need to pull out my old black Pioneer at some point, and start putting some pocket wear on it. The worn black does look quite wonderful. I went a few pages back, saw gustophersmob's 'ol’Blackie', and kind of fell in love.
