Title: 84mm Alox Collection
Post by: nsa-x-file on May 06, 2013, 10:33:11 PM
Finally sorted out my 84mm alox collection.  :salute:
So I took a group photo before they go in my display case.
Nowhere near complete yet.

Hi nsa,

Thanks for sharing. Six in from the top left. What is the difference in the two violet/purple models, are they the same? I was aware they had produced a violet cadet.

Thanks

EDIT

Just found the answer on sakwiki. It is the key ring.

If you mean the +B Cadet Plus and +B Cadet II Plus then yes I have them all to date.  :salute:

would you mind if I asked what the +B stands for?
Title: Re: 84mm Alox Collection
Post by: space cowboy on May 07, 2013, 06:28:11 PM
A really nice collection indeed! I think +B stands for a Swiss Bianco commissioned Victorinox..!?

@ Karl
What about the last row - second from right? Is this grey? I don't remember to have seen a grey Cadet before...  :think:

Is the blue one in the second row a Cadet? Is it the same blue shade as the one in the top row?

Yes, could be, this was also my thought, but you never know. Karl has an amazing knife collection and he has lots of unique SAKs  :cheers: maybe also some unique Cadets  ;)

It's the gunmetal. Some of the photos I've seen of it appear blue-grey, but mine is definitely grey (top).

Also dug out some smooth Cadets with advertising. Some interesting colors there.

Not a custom but a vintage factory original alox Tourist.
Have been looking for one for ages.

Another friend just emailed me this link. I think the alox madness is getting out of hand personally.
I guess if I was rich it wouldn't matter though.  :D Those prices sure are making cellidors and 108mm look
more enticing to me.   :tool:

I saw that as well.
I know a few of the bidders on that so I'll leave them to it. It's a rare find new in box and it will go higher still I think.

It's definitely not NIB.
Have a look at the area left to the first pivot on the first image.

The alox craze IS getting out of hand. I wonder how much of it is shill bidding and the old bid way too high, and get the bid revoked later, so my buddy (or me) can win it with a well timed 2nd bid?

Totally agree. The alox knife prices have recently been high to say the least.
Not easy for new collectors to start these days.
Just glad i've pretty much got everything I want now in alox.

Just as bad are Vics with visible pins, and anything with fiber handles. Glad I got into the hobby years ago and was able to pick up a lot of unusual stuff at reasonable prices. Still it's hard to fill holes in the collection.

Thankfully I'm collecting for myself and don't need to sell anything to raise funds.
I prefer trading with other members on here and helping out when I can.  :salute:
