About 15 years ago or so the HSN sold alox farmers in pairs or red and silver and blue and silver.  This is a blue one from one of the blue and silver sets.  I believe these were the first blue modern alox farmers. I also believe it was the same for the red alox as well. Of course there is a great chance that I am mistaken!

I have a blue farmer from the same timeframe, and I believe mine was from a set that featured a blue farmer and a silver Victorinox flashlight that was made by Inova, based on the X2.

Yep, rectangular tin.  You might be right though, maybe those were silver farmers.  I've slept a bit since the good 'ol SOSAK days, so I'm probably mixing it up with the set you mentioned.  I think Tim might have separated out some of those double sets and I just bought the blue farmer as a single from him, but it was definitely that timeframe.

Is that compact 84mm?  :woohoo:

It is indeed--84mm Golfer.  Such a shame those were discontinued, long nail file or not.  Although, the Compact with the file on the hook is so close in function to it that at least I'm not so tempted to carry it.

Your red ribbed alox 84 is freakin' awesome as well.

I'm always compacting my golf and golfing my compacts. I have seen a doctor for it on several occasions.   I think the 84mm is the Voyageur.

Here's one I have always liked as well.  Compact in gunmetal,  I believe is the color.

The basic idea was of porting the 111mm Fireman to the 91mm range. I wanted both plain and serrated blades and a saw, and the fluted corkscrew  8). The two blades have different tang stamps   8) 8). It was Mags´ idea to put a combo tool in the second blade layer so I didn´t need the opener layer  8)  8)  8). That way the 4 layer Fireman became the 3 layer Green Hornet. There is an awl on the back too but it´s positioned deep between the liners and can´t be opened  :ahhh.
