Alox Solo Discontinued?

DeezNittles · **on:** February 11, 2012, 09:13:26 PM

Does anyone know if the Alox Solo is discontinued? I can't seem to find one anywhere. I'm just looking for a NIB Silver Alox one but haven't had any luck.

I was starting to wonder the same actually since its no longer on the victorinox main site, and the seller I usually buy from is all out as well. I use the backspring for scissor mods so I hope they aren't all gone too quickly. If they are I will have to get around to actually making my own springs and I really don't want to have to do that.

Still available as far as I know here in the UK. Just bought a box of 10 on-line.

Has anyone found a source for US buyers?

Any idea if the place you bought from ships international?

along with Alox bantam, Pioneer Apprentice, Pioneer Settler, Pioneer Pruner

Vic seems to be killing off lots of the alox line

That sucks. Just when we find out the spring is perfect for scissors, now people are going to start hoarding them and selling them for 3 times as much.

Syph007 · **Reply #9 on:** February 12, 2012, 01:33:44 AM

Oh the alox bantom too? I was buying those for 84 mm mods and they are really cheap... stop it victorinox you're going to force me to make all my own parts now.

Looks like you're right.

Just purchased one of each from amazon.uk

Yep the US vic dealer I was buying 5 packs from confirmed it. He said he bought the last 100 they had. I got 15 of those but that was the last he had.

It looks like these are just discontinued in the US. Still available in 6 colours here in South Africa.

My apologies to the poor kitties FV. I forget you sell regular stuff to, I always think of you for the rare and hard to find stuff...which of course now applies to solos.

Edit: You're out of solos now, was that the last you had? I grabbed the 2 that were left.

DeezNittles · **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2012, 01:49:17 PM

Oh bummer! I can't believe I missed out on snagging one of those! and at that price!

I guess I need to stop sleeping!!! Is anyone feeling kind enough to divert one in my direction?

No Problem, If Tim can't get anymore I'll drop you one. I'm a little backed up on out going packages right now though.

Tim has another one in pre used condition aand there's one it the trade section.

Reinier · **Reply #20 on:** February 12, 2012, 03:41:19 PM

I can get them for around $21 shipped to the US which is a bit more expensive I know, but if there's no other option...
