84mm Alox Collection
on: May 06, 2013, 10:33:11 PM
Finally sorted out my 84mm alox collection.  :salute:
So I took a group photo before they go in my display case.
Nowhere near complete yet.



Forgot to put these four in the main photo.  :ahhh
+B Cadet Plus and +B Lumberjacks in Sunset Orange and Copper.

Hi nsa,

Thanks for sharing. Six in from the top left. What is the difference in the two violet/purple models, are they the same? I was aware they had produced a violet cadet.

Thanks

EDIT

Just found the answer on sakwiki. It is the key ring.

A really nice collection indeed! I think +B stands for a Swiss Bianco commissioned Victorinox..!?

Very nice collections Jamie and Karl  :tu:

@ Karl
What about the last row - second from right? Is this grey? I don't remember to have seen a grey Cadet before...  :think:

Nice lineup  :tu:

Is the blue one in the second row a Cadet? Is it the same blue shade as the one in the top row?

Yes, could be, this was also my thought, but you never know. Karl has an amazing knife collection and he has lots of unique SAKs  :cheers: maybe also some unique Cadets  ;)

That one is the +B Lumberjack.
Still have a few more of those to find.

It's the gunmetal. Some of the photos I've seen of it appear blue-grey, but mine is definitely grey (top).

Also dug out some smooth Cadets with advertising. Some interesting colors there.

Not a custom but a vintage factory original alox Tourist.
Have been looking for one for ages.

Nice, now go find an Elinox one with the screwdriver (ideally in red :whistle:).

Another friend just emailed me this link. I think the alox madness is getting out of hand personally.
I guess if I was rich it wouldn't matter though.  :D Those prices sure are making cellidors and 108mm look
more enticing to me.   :tool:

Found one for you, $300 and six days left :D
http://www.ebay.com/itm/161022086275?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649

I saw that as well.
I know a few of the bidders on that so I'll leave them to it. It's a rare find new in box and it will go higher still I think.

It's definitely not NIB.
Have a look at the area left to the first pivot on the first image.
