Not sure if this fits into any badge specifically, but I'm hoping to at least find where the PX fits in with my edc.
So here's day 1/30
(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170102/6643ba70ee8995a001faedfb927b7fbb.jpg)
Opening some late Christmas gifts.

I will have to look and see what kind of badge you can go for :think:
Either way it will be a good challenge :cheers: :cheers: :like:

Used the can opener as an orange peeler. Worked well actually.

And my daughter was playing in a box and requested a skylight and window. (No she was not in the box when I cut it. as info

The can opener works so well for that, you'd almost think that was it's original intended purpose
It did work quite well for this. I was surprised.
Never used one for that but it looks like it would do a great job at it :cheers: :cheers: :like:
Today was the first time I tried it. But that's what this challenge is about for me. Find what the tool and I can accomplish.
So I consider today a plus one in that list.

Used the "X" of the Pioneer X to cut up some paracord and make a new key lanyard. Used the awl in pushing the paracord thru.

30 day challenge's will either break or make the tool you are using :cheers: Most either end up loving the tool or hating it by the end :D So far the PX looks like it is doing pretty good :like:
I can definitely see this. I think the challenge has made me more aware of the useful nature of the tool Vs just the safety factor of knowing I have a tool (If that makes sense).
The PX has a smaller tool selection compared to many other SAK models. With only 9 listed tools, I started thinking
. 9 tools doesn't mean 9 uses. There's much that the PX could be capable of than just the listed 9 functions. I think that pretty much sums up the theme of this challenge for me. Seeing just how much I can accomplish with very little. And really just kinda growing with the tool.

Went in a hike with my Dad today. Had planned on taking more pics but my stupid battery died. Lucky I snagged this one early on.
Played around with the awl. Using it to drill holes in some fallen wood. And whittled some small limbs while we took a break.
Also added a small lanyard to the knife.

Nice one! I actually used my PX to slice up a Hickory Farms combo at my folks' house over the holiday. But their's didn't have bacon IN the cheese, that seems like winner :tu:
On a completely unrelated note, I like the 93mm blade for occasional food work, much more than celidor, though I have no real reason why (maybe less chance of stuff getting stuck under the scales?).

Actually just ate dinner and used it to cut up my daughters pizza and cheese bread. She will tell me to "use your knife to cut my food Daddy". She thinks it makes it special that her food is cut by a special knife.

I've found myself using it daily for food prep as well. Even while in my kitchen I find myself just grabbing it to slice stuff Vs trying to find a sharp knife among all the dull ones.

I bought my Pioneer X from a reputable online retailer. I just received it and I am questioning its authenticity. The box was sealed, but the knife had fingerprints on it already. It also seems to have some poor machining on the alox handles, and the blade, if closed slowly, will stay partly open.
I attached a couple photos. Can you please let me know what you think? Thanks!

Well I'm definitely not a SAK expert or anywhere close. So take this as my very humble opinion. My knife has similar marks at the edge of the alox scales. It doesn't bother me personally since it is a user knife. I would be more concerned with the knife not closing. That seems to be an issue. My knife has that classic snap to it. Open and close.
Is your knife marked with Vic Swiss made logo?

4everYoung, thanks for sharing your thoughts. The knife does have the Swiss made marking on the blade just like yours. I do agree the blade closure is the biggest issue and will probably send it back due to that. All of my other SAKs snap nicely. What was your previous EDC? I like to keep it minimal and my current favorite is the Swiss Army Executive. I also recently got a ThruNite Ti3 NW that I am quite pleased with.
Roc, thanks for sharing your thoughts as well.

Nice. Thanks. I probably will try getting another one. I like the solid feel, and I really like the look of the alox scales. I use the scissors all the time, so I was happy to see this model come out.

I would go with only one. Not only does it look "cleaner" but it should also help orient the knife flat in your pocket.
Post by: 4everYoung on January 11, 2017, 04:40:48 PM
Under advisement I removed the bigger split ring. It does look cleaner. Feels about the same in the pocket. So I'm good with that.
Gave the knife a good wash. Had been on orange duty pretty heavily. So it needed a citrus cleanse.
In the pocket with the Skeletool and Shard ready for some adventure.

Today's lesson. In a pinch, the blade of the PX makes a pretty good mirror.
It was hard to take a pic of so I grabbed something with contrast as a demo. With two small kids there's no shortage of toys around.

Half way thru!
Want to reflect on one of the main reasons I bought the PX. The scissors on this thing are sharp. They've cut thru everything I've thrown there way.
I was impressed with how smooth they sliced through paracord. My Style CS scissors had some trouble with that. It would cut but took several snips to get the small strands at the end. However the PX iced right thru with easy.
The scissors are one of the daily used items I have.
On a side not, I've been carrying the Shard to compliment PX. The Shard's Phillips work very well and helps make up for the lack of a. 3D Phillips on the PX. This is a non issue when I carry the Skeletool and PX. But I've ventured out a few times without that combo so a substitute was required.

The scissors on the PX moved me from an admirer of Alox knives to a purchaser of the PX! I'm not surprised that the LM Style CS had trouble and your PX did not. I own several LM MTs of different sizes and have taken the testimony of happy YouTube reviewers at face value as they compliment the excellent scissors on the various LM products. I usually use my SAK's scissors to open the side of the plastic mailing envelopes lined with bubble wrap. One rainy day after retrieving my mail and packages and finding one envelop covered with reinforcing tape, I reached for my LM Juice CS4's scissors and with some effort, managed a 1/4 inch cut. Out came my SAK's scissors and easily opened the envelop. After various comparisons, I am convinced that Victorinox makes some of the best scissors and they do compare favorably to pliers-based MTs.
Don't want to disparage LM, watched a YouTube video where The Late Boyscout compared Leatherman scissors in a face-off where some of them were cutting a leather belt before the end of the video including the small scissors on the Wave/Charge MTs. The Surge's scissors were very large and the most impressive of the bunch.
Back to the PX...the first thing I did after removing it from the box was check out the scissors and they are first rate!

Used the PX blade and awl to whittle a little owl figure for my wife. I was bored so I just started whittling without actually drawing it to it. This is what I ended up with. PX did very well. The inline awl was very handy. But since this was the first time I've carved anything into a specific shape since teenage years, I'm so leased with its result.
Used a lighter to add some shades

Enjoying an evening cup of coffee after dinner.
On a side note. I broke out the PX last night to do an emergency repair on a golf cart at work. Shut off on an employee in the middle of the road. Found a broke wire that had corroded. I was able to use the PX awl to clean out the corrosion from the connector. Used my Skeletool to crimp it back on. Got it running well enough to get it back to do a proper repair. Sorry no pics of that in the middle of the rainy night.

Some general cutting duties today. Snipped some strings on my boys blanket. Cut up some carrots for my daughter. Been paired up with the Skeletool for a while. Makes a great pair.

Nearing an end it was time to do a little sharpening. 5 strokes on the ceramic rod and strip and this baby is shaving sharp again.

PX posing with the newest SAK a SG rambler. Used the PX to free the rambler from its packaging.

The small Phillips on the rambler compliments the PX well.

Thanks! It was a fun challenge. It definitely made me more aware of how capable the knife is.
