Halloween colors... Looks like I'll be getting another Alox knife.

In the mean time, I'm lovin' the dark Wilderness.

Very dark.  Not sure it'd be a good user but very cool looking none the less  8)
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

This name was writing in the mail from the man who sold me this one.
Maybe he means sister from the black one who cames first.
This is the orange wilderness .

The orange and black really works well  :drool:

I don't think I could bring myself to use it though or any of the other BO models.

I agree. I see these as collector's pieces, not users. Most Black Oxide will wear off with repeated use. I have SOGs, Leatherman, etc. and the finish wears off over time.

That orange wilderness SAK just looks fantastic  :drool: I liked the black one, but this one looks so much better in my opinion!  :gimme:

Too bad that I don't have any budget until christmas for any SAKs or tools or anything for myself  :ahhh

This plus the limited edition high cost has me second guessing a purchase.  Has anyone put a lot of use on a black oxide Swiss Tool or Spirit?  I am curious what kind of patina or wear a black oxide blade shows after a lot of use.  Would they eventually end up looking like a non-polished stainless steel blade, or would they still have a darker tone?

Pictures of worn/used black oxide knifes (especially SAK's) would be highly appreciated.

Thanks! :tu:

Hi! Are you saying this based on everyone's photos, or do you have one of these yourself? I own the Victorinox 2010 Militaria Kit and I have to admit that my photos do them a LOT of justice... . I'm guessing the photographers on this thread are also eager to capture their knives in (their) best light - this is completely normal.

My photo (click for higher-res version)...



Someone else's rendition...

It's going to be hard to get an answer so early on because AFAIK, Victorinox only recently started to post-process the blades in this fashion. However... seeing as the French Army (officers only?) has recently been issued black-oxidized SwissTool Spirits, there should be plenty of test-cases in the near-future ;p

----------

Please don't get me wrong, I really, really love the idea and intended look of these two Alox "Wilderness" SAKs. I also read on the 'net that "...Victorinox is constantly improving their black-oxidation process..." so the wilderness could very well be examples of said improvements! If anyone can confirm the improvement, then I will gladly add one to my collection!

Speaking of which... can anyone tell me where I can purchase one within the EU/CH? No disrespect to felinevet (a great cause, btw - having had an American Ragdoll for over eighteen years...) intended but it makes little sense for me to order a SAK "commissioned" in CH from US - the shipping costs alone would be prohibitive... thanks!
