Who has an Aitor?

[duckman1975]

Ever since I saw Andy's Aitor I just couldn't get it out of my mind. I know that the quality is not at par with the SAKs but it is stated that the quality is better than most SAKalikes.
They do have some interesting and original designs like the Aligator pliers.
Starting this thread because one I don't have any Aitor knives and its hard to come by here, and second for the other members to see what I'm talking about.
So anyone who have an Aitor and can post pictures please post it here, thank you very much!

By your command

[appletree_man]

Im just impressed by the cylon quote

[I'm Still Bison]

I have an Aitor or three floating around in my collection,and while I don't EDC them I do like them.It's been a while since I visited their site:
http://www.aitor.com/
 The distributors list page is under construction,and apparently you may soon be able to buy directly from them,in the meantime,a Google search or Ebay would be your best bet for getting one.

The green one is a Jardin and the brown one an Aligator.

Hey niel you lucky you, where did you get those beauties?

[J-sews]

Aitors are pretty decent knives. My only complaint is they are a bit wider and more "blocky" than the swiss knives.

Here are a few of mine:

[appletree_man]

Are Jack Pyke knives made by Aitor ?  I've seen a couple and they look similar.

WHOA what is that blue one?

Is there any complete guide to Aitor knives that lists what is currently manufactured/possibly with pictures.

[AndyTiedye]

The Aitor site has been "under construction" for quite some time.
They also say they will sell directly off their web site Real Soon Now.

I'm guessing NKB got his here: http://www.jls-wednesbury.org/id36.html
since they are in the UK and ship free there.   They also have better prices than:
http://www.betaco.com/aproducts.asp?rid=multiadventure, the only US dealer.
The Beta Company will not ship anything to California, so I have not dealt with them.

Maybe Felinevet would like to become an Aitor dealer.   There is obviously an unfilled demand.

Hm, the CatMan selling Aitor.....

[duckman1975]

Thanks for the pictures bob, I like Aitor because they don't just copy SAK they really put effort in incorporating Inovative designs on there SAKalikes.
Andy thanks for the links, again the international shipping rates is whats killing me

anyone wanna trade the combo-tool for my pinky toe?

it looks like,it could be useful just by itself when attached to sturdy splitring or heavier paracord-fob.

and small enough to pass thru customs

[Leatherman123]

What's that blue model with the serrated line cutter, Bob?

Looks like they sell an Aitor with that combo tool here.

[max6166]

That combo tool is really clever. Even just the idea of staggering the can and bottle openers on the same tool is genius. 

[Tarrodemierda]

Looks like they sell an Aitor with that combo tool here.

i cant fin out do they ship overseas and take paypal

Hm, the CatMan selling Aitor.....

Let me tell you a fun story. During the 80's, Victorinox offered Aitor to distribute their products in Spain, but Aitor didn't accept. Then Victorinox approached Muela, the Aitor competitor in Spain, with the same proposal, and Muela accepted. Guess what? Aitor went to bankruptcy, while Muela got world wide distribution (at least in some countries, Victorinox dealers are also Muela dealers). At the end of 2006, Pielcu bougth the factory and the Aitor name, and resurrected the company. At the beginning of 2007, they were selling the old Aitor stock, and on the middle of the same year, they started producing the new line.

Anyway, you can download the latest Aitor catalog (2007) here:

Thanks for the interesting information mate

[J-sews]

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks Carlos!

[Neil]

Oh no, another catalogue to drool over.     Thanks, I think

[AndyTiedye]

Is "Aitor" continuing to manufacture the 108 folding product line,  or are what we see of those for sale all old stock?

[DoughDTD]

Awesome thread, I've never heard of this company.  Very unique ideas.  Take a look at this fixed blade...i might just have to guy it!!

[Freudian Frog]

So obviously an Atwood knockoff.
