Yes, your right it is one of the older Alox Soldiers, I have a definite preference for these over the newer models, just a beautiful knife!
I already have a Pioneer and SI so it would be just the Vic Soldier i'm looking for. I wasn't aware there was a tools needed forum so I will check down there. It's quite frustrating that ebay UK and Ireland banned all sales of knives, sourcing would be relatively easy otherwise.
