colored Alox, do you carry

P35 · **on:** December 20, 2009, 06:19:05 PM

I love my Alox SAKS. I only carry the silver ones. The colored Alox stays in the collection, shelf queens if you will.
How about you?

Benner · **Reply #1 on:** December 20, 2009, 06:21:43 PM

Leaving something so beautiful is a drawer is just criminal IMO.

I carry mine like I would any other SAK or tool. That is, of course, what they are created for.

I carry 'em. It's too funny when people see it and say "What's that?" and I tell them it's a swiss army knife and they say "Swiss Army knives are red and plastic!" LOL! Love my alox!!!

I carry all my colored alox, as none of them are super rare. Even if they were rare I would carry them, as you are bound to find another eventually with the numbers they were produced in.

Am carrying my red alox Farmer at the moment.

Nah I carry mine, as I'm not too bothered about character marks

Pacu · **Reply #6 on:** December 20, 2009, 07:40:22 PM

My prized alox is a Blue Farmer. I carry it for leaving it in the dark would be a shame. I'm seriously considering getting a red one too.

I highly recommend it! IMO the red is the second best color alox with the green being first and blue a very close third.

yellow alox scales would be cool. Yellow is like blazing neon to me.

GraysonK · **Reply #12 on:** December 20, 2009, 08:22:56 PM

+1 on yellow alox. I must say though that the gunmetal is awfully pretty! Probably the one I'm most afraid of scratching...doesn't stop me from carrying it though. LOL

Olive Green Cadet, and Red Pioneer with Scissors in my pocket every day for at least the last year I think. I'm going to be taking a picture of the wear in January I suspect because I may have have a new EDC setup.

Like the others have said, they're nice, but I buy them because they work and are so useful. Granted I have way too many to carry, but I've carried my Vic Heritage soldier quite a few days so while I look after it if I want to carry it I do, of course having multiples of many I don't have to carry everyone.

Bottom line, nice to look at, even nicer to use!

Black Alox Classic on my key chain

EZ822 · **Reply #16 on:** December 21, 2009, 11:57:22 AM

I carry an orange Cadet and sometimes my black Pioneer

NutSAK · **Reply #17 on:** December 21, 2009, 02:08:55 PM

I carry a red Farmer on occasion, but I use a custom leather slipcase.

Black Rose · **Reply #18 on:** December 22, 2009, 05:53:16 AM

I carry a Blue Alox Classic SD in my pocket. I've been carrying it for just about a year and it looks very worn.

Some people like that look, but I don't.
After seeing what happened to my Alox Classic, my Red Cadet stays in it's box.

revolvergeek · **Reply #19 on:** December 22, 2009, 04:39:59 PM

I have an Orange Alox Classic on my truck keyring. It isn't nearly as orange as it used to be, but it has held up better than I expected it to.

Precise · **Reply #20 on:** December 22, 2009, 05:11:52 PM

I wish my pioneer harvester was blue alox. Even if it did get worn, I would carry it.

P35 · **Reply #21 on:** December 22, 2009, 05:42:28 PM

If you have silver alox versions, why subject the colored ones to wear? They are the same inside.

Yeah but they are not the same on the outside and we all know beauty is only skin deep

Pacu · **Reply #23 on:** December 22, 2009, 10:56:27 PM

For some reason i don't care for silver alox. Blue, Red and Gunmetal are my favs...in that order.

so why wear the "beauty" off if you don't need to.

I carry everything I own, especially the ones I'm crazy about. I wear the watch I want too for the same reason - it's never made sense to me leaving these things in drawers.

you must have some BIG pockets

seriously, I love my SAKs, I carry a silver Farmer as my EDC.
I buy them because I like them, I buy some I'll never carry because I'm a collector.
I also collect 1/32 slot cars, I race/run them all, even the rare ones.
it's all about choices, it's all good

Gareth · **Reply #27 on:** December 23, 2009, 01:03:34 AM

I do occasionally carry my Scibeer Blue Farmer mod. I'm not protective about saving the colour at all, it's just not often I feel the desire to carry the thing.
