I am amazed at the Al scales why aren't they more popular?
QuoteI am amazed at the Al scales why aren't they more popular?more popular?What?Have you been living under a rock....in a cave...at the bottom of the ocean...on pluto.If I had a few spare Alox knives I'd through them up in the air to watch mt.o members try to catch it and crash into each other like seagulls after chips.
I duno, I don't have one, don't really see what's so special about them from pics and specs.
I have a feeling this won't be my last alox. Also which alox has the most tools on it?
I have a Brushed Stainless SD this is just as small if not smaller!
As most of you will have worked out by now I'm a bit of a SAK fan . I have to confess however that (other than the Cadet) I'm not a Alox fan. The lack of back mounted tools is the major factor, but also the limited range of the other tools bugs me.I don't mean to rain on you parade, I get what people like about them, I know they are very good looking. I just haven't been able to muster the same level of enthusiasm for them myself.
The special thing is the scales are solid Al and much more scratch resistant than the plastic ones.

Welcome to the forum Black Rose
my black alox classic is getting nice wear and tear marks all over it, it adds character to the tool
I upgraded my old red Pioneer last year...now it's an old red Farmer with new blade and woodsaw
