You could also consider one from the Eco line if the normal, red scales aren't durable enough for you. They have Nylon scales, like the aforementioned 108 mm series.

As far as a clip is concerned, I love the P-7 suspension clip by TEC Accessories.

Can you add a pocket clip to the alox scales?

I'm far from an expert on this, but if I'm not mistaking, people have added a pocket clip to alox scales by drilling and screwing it on the scales. But also by glueing or using an industrial grade, double sided, tape which can hold tremendous force.

Can't find anything wrong with that, my (current) favorite, I think you'll be pretty happy with it. :cheers:

Good choice, am sure you'll be very happy with it. Now get a Tec P7 clip for it :-)

Well I didn't get a P7 but decided on a Chinese knock off for $1.30 shipped. Figured I'd try that before I spent almost  as much on the dangler and a titanium clip combo as I did the actual knife and maybe not like it.
Still may wind up modding a pocket clip onto to it. Will wait and see. Give it a good review in the pocket. And see how I like it.
But if I do like the dangler set up I'll order a couple from TEC for the other little items I carry as well. I'd say their finish and quality is probably better.

Now take care of that one (said with hand on one hip, pointing my finger at you).  :pok:  Couldn't resist poking a bit of fun at you since you were so hard on your first one.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

I knew I would get away without being scolded for breaking my first SAK. * places hand in the Bible* I solemnly swear to respect the SAK and treat it with the admiration it deserves.

If you're certain that you will carry a small plier based tool together with the SAK, and all you want is a knife blade and scissors and alox is a must, then I think the Pioneer X is the way to go.

If you want it to be a lot thinner, and a smaller (but still useful) blade is sufficient: have a look at the MoneyClip:

MoneyClips can be found easy on eBay and are quite cheap.


An alternative with a more "mature" knifeblade is the old Voyageur, but those can be hard to find and will be a bit expensive:

For reference: the Pioneer X is 93mm long, the Voyageur is 84mm long and the MoneyClip is 74mm.
a Classic is 58mm.
First time I've seen a voyageur, looks the perfect sak how expensive are they, are they super hard to find.

About $ 100 is the average price for a good used one I think. They are not very easy to find but if you check ebay regularly there are a few opportunities a year. Maybe one is sold every three of four months?

I just traded mine. Liked it, but it was time for something different that fits more in what I collect and use :)
