One blade cellidor?

[Rich S]

Has Vic ever made or still make a single bladed 91mm cellidor (just a blade, no other tools)? I know the make a single bladed alox, I just prefer the old cellidor.

Not to my knowledge. Maybe very on in the old days pre-WWII when almost everything was handmade. But AFAIK in 91mm they've never had the backspring or the rear non-cut-out scales to do a proper 91mm Solo.

A couple years ago I bought a 91mm Angler Solo knife. At first I thought it was just some weird mod that someone made. Then I realized that Victorinox has never made a 91mm knife that had a non-cut-out rear scale, so the fact that this had one meant it was almost certainly factory and not cobbled together from parts knives in someone's garage. To this day it's the only factory 91mm I've seen with a solid rear scale. A couple years back they made a special bladeless run for a company in the UK and even those knives had the standard cut out rear scale.

OK, thanks for the info. I could only hope.

Would love to see a photo of a 91mm Angler Solo knife.

Well, I broke down and ordered the Alox Solo or Swiss Army 1 as it's called.
That will be my 64th SAK.

Now, advise on how to color it red. I was thinking of swiping some of my wife's red nail polish.
Any and all suggestions welcome.

It's perfectly fine to use your own nail polish Rich.

[Rich S]

Sorry, it will have to be my wife's nail polish. I don't wear nail polish

I've used nail polish on alox! It's not as clean and sharp, but you make do with what you have.

[Rich S]

On using red nail polish on Alox - should I thin it down some with acetone or just use it thick out of the bottle?

Rich.....you might try a red Sharpie, they mark on just about anything.  If it doesn’t work you can always put the nail polish over it.   

[Boonies]

Rich....you also have the option of the gardening/floral series, OAL is around 100mm if I recall correctly but the blades are about the same length as a regular SAK.  The wharncliff is a bit hard to find, the sheepsfoot and pruner blades are readily available, just search for Victorinox gardener on eBay.  The blades are chisel cut and the scales are nylon I believe.

Curious about that factory 91mm bladeless--do any photos of it exist?

I have a ultra rare 84mm solo.

Now that’s nice!

When I posted the ultra rare solo it was a goof I was fishing for a reaction. I part out waiters for combo tools. I made the solo out of left over waiter parts. My plan was to make wood sacles for it just never did. Recut scales can bought on eBay. Rich S if I would like this to be your 65 SAK PM me your address and I will be happy to mail it to you

Well, you got the Solo, but that's 108mm and not exactly Celidor...

That’s just about the coolest thing I’ve seen lately.

I have a thing for single-bladed Victorinox knives, despite the fact that many view them with a jaundiced eye—presumably because they are, in a sense, “anti-“ SAKs. Owing one with what is probably Victorinox’s least-loved tool would be the bees knees.

[Rich S]

I received my single bladed Alox SAK today. After looking it over, I like it as is. So I won't be trying to color it red. Nice knife, but not being a multi-tool not fitting the SAK  model, just a slip joint knife I doubt they will sell well and would not be surprised if they cease production rather soon..

That's getting Wenger niche.

Vic could catch two fish on one hook and make a blade with a scaler on the back. A fishing combo tool, with a ruler engraved between the sharp edge and the scaler edge.
