Where are the Alox Executives?
on: June 17, 2013, 06:20:12 PM
Hey all, I've just picked up my first Executive, and it is incredible.  Bought it mostly because I want a 74mm, and now it's more of a favorite than my Cadet.

Well that means I should probably find an Alox Executive as well.  Google and Amazon aren't giving me much, is there a better place I could try looking for a reasonable one? 

Also I like the forum so far, came over because Bladeforum doesn't have a dedicated SAK subforum, and the rest of the site tends to run pretty heavily towards the tactical-loving crowd.  Looks like some pleasant people here too, but less threads asking for practical comparisons of several different knives designed solely for sticking someone.

If you haven't already, check with our local dealer Felinevet. Great to deal with and the proceeds go back into his charity.

I dont think there is an alox executive... There is the director, which is basically an Executive with stainless steel scales.

The Director is a perfectly acceptable substitute, and I have no steel-sided SAKs, so even better.  But there are Alox Executives, they're constructed just like the Alox Classics.

Finding them seems to be trickier than a quick Amazon or Google search though.  The Felinevet shop looks good, I'll be sure to check them out when I've got a need!

I've seen quite a few on eBay in the last month or two, but mostly in not so good condition. Advertising print seems to be the rule on them too.

They haven't been made in ages, most of the ones I recently saw for sale had a Victoria stamp so they are a bit older and I doubt you'll find a store that has them. Your best bet is checking eBay and Felinevet regularly for a used one.
