I have a long way to go, but my alox collection is starting to take shape. My two favorite models are the Farmer & Pioneer. Here is a updated picture of my collection:

Very nice GG - personally I think those ribbed scales are overrated ;)

I currently have three Alox SAks, a green Cadet (that you kindly sent me), a red Farmer, and the Bad Rivet (my first mod attempt, where I removed the broken usb memory layer from a 51mm jobby).

I have a blue Farmer on the way though.
I used to come here a lot.

The blue Farmer is an amazing color. You're going to love it if you haven't already seen one.  :tu:

I've only seen pictures, but it does look nice.

If I like it as much as my red one - then I'll be more than happy.

LOL!!!  The farmer is a fantastic knife. I have always said that it's the best value of any knife on the planet, period! IMO, of course.  :D

Looks faulty to me - like it missed the machine that puts the perpendicular grooves in.
I used to come here a lot.
