After 30 days of work it's time for the Pioneer X to lay down, relax and enjoy the good things in life.



After carrying only the Pioneer X for 30 days it's time to draw some conclusions.

For the everyday carry in urban life the Pioneer X has everything you need. The only thing I kind of missed is the small blade. I always prefer to use a small blade for things like cutting tape (leaves sticky residue), so the large blade stays clean. Because of this, I was now forced to use the scissors more often but now the scissors got more sticky residue. I have said it before, but a Rancher X or Electrician X would be even more perfect than a Pioneer X.

When I was home I had to grab one of the other SAKs a couple of time because I needed a specific tool that isn't on the Pioneer X. In particular I found out that I use a metal file more often than I realised. I guess the perfect EDC knife should have the tools of a Rancher X and a metal file.

It took me some time to get used to the nailnick of the Pioneer X being on the wrong side. Funny thing, muscle memory :)

The damast blade on this Pioneer X is a beauty. At first it felt like it has a bit more "friction" when cutting through things than with the normal large blade, but the friction seemed to reduce over time.

I guess that's all that I can say at this point! It was fun to do this challenge and I can certainly recommend the Pioneer X.

The Pioneer X is taking some rest and says goodbye to you all!
