What to do with an Pioneer?

[HankSolon]

Hi, it‘s been a while and I will ralely be here (family and business).

Just a quick question, is a Victorinox Alox Pioneer in a dark violett / gray metallic color kind of rare? (NOS)

It‘s been sold along with a Victorinox officers day date mechanical watch.

I‘m thinking of keeping it, using it for a custom job in the future or selling it sometime in the future.

Any input welcome.

Looks black to me - But I guess that is the photo - But a dark purple sounds rare to me

We need an alox expert (maybe try asking in the alox thread)

I have one too (or so I think). It's some kind of dark brown/purplish metallic colour. The picture doesn't do it justice, but you can see it's different from black (left) and 2022 thunder grey (right). No idea what it's called or how rare/precious it is but I'd like to know!

Like always with such things. If someone wants it, it‘s nowhere to find. If someone has it, only some people will recognize is as different. :-)

That‘s fine. I will wrap it up and put it to my other knifes. Like my NOS long nail file Vics. ;-)
