This is gorgeous!(Image removed from quote.) and so is this...(Image removed from quote.)I just wish he made Cadets in these colours. As someone who has no use for an awl or a tin opener, half the tools on the Pioneer are useless to me; the X changes that with the scissors, but still, 2/5ths are dead weight...I have a couple of unused Xs I don't need - green and blue - they will go up for sale on the Sales part of the forum as soon as I find my camera.I prefer the Pioneer over the Cadet because I think the awl is more useful than the nail file but do like the size of the Cadet too! Also as mentioned, I too like the heavier Pioneer blade over the Cadets but really either would work for me!Heck I could probably get by with just the Solo but I don't have one of those either! I would really like a Cadet size with either the awl or the small blade in it.Alox 1 layers on the european market...

eBay doesn't let us who live in the UK buy knives, even from non-UK eBay stores, grrr!!! Makes collecting very difficult!

They bake the SAK into a cake and post it to a bloke in Belmarsh Prison who passes it on to an associate on visiting day; next time that honourable geezer happens to be cruising through your neighbourhood - whenever that may be - he'll knock on your door, have a butcher's through your net curtains to see if there's anything worth having then plonk the SAK through the letterbox. It's a waterproof deal, mate, 100% legit. Nuffink can go wrong. Literally nuffink!
Now in Switzerland they make powder of knives and they ship you a box of "Nescafe" (for customs controls)... Then you add cold water and after 1 minute you have your knife !

Couriers hide the sachets in parts of the body where they will never be found then race through the Gotthard Tunnel, trying to outrun the police dogs...meanwhile you go to your local Starbucks, ask for your usual Vanilla Soy Latte Decaf and voila! At bottom of your cup is the SAK of your dreams ...
