Show Your Alox Users

Dr Gonzo · **on:** August 07, 2013, 06:13:01 PM

I know a lot of people collect Alox...I used to my self

but then had to sell most of my collection due to money troubles

I kept only the users as I love Alox more than the regular plastic scaled SAK's

My users left to right...
City Pioneer made for me by harryf3 (Aris) I recently ground the keyring off, I like a lanyard but find it can dig in the hand $:-\$
07 Soldier
Old Cross Electrician
Old Cross Pioneer with an 85 Soldier blade, I've left the keyring on this as it's a vintage brass liner

I also have a regular Farmer in a bug out kit and a regular Pioneer that lives in the kitchen on can opening duty

That's the "problem" with silver alox, users and NIB look the same.

Nice

I've had quite a few blue Farmers but could never bring myself to use them and have sold them on

Its a great shade of blue and I would love a hard anodised version

+1

Despite having a thing for black

and a few black ALOX SAKs I usually cary silver ones, an SI or a silver Cadet. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Blue wears nicely.

USB-Rambler: already nicely worn in.

Urban Farmer

Urban Cadet: needs some more pocket time, but we're getting there

Monrogue · **Reply #9 on:** August 08, 2013, 03:16:50 PM

I only have one Alox SAK, my Mechaneer. It's still young, so no real worn look to the scales, but I hope to get there eventually

I think the worn look on black scales is really

Can't post a pic right now, but will later.

Bloody Tapatalk!

Anyway ... Not much wear on this as it's not a combo often carried

The "fake" SI I picked up a couple weeks ago on back room duty today.

The silver SI and Cadet get carried quite often, the black Cadet occasionally and very rarely with other stuff next to it, and the Classic got retired/replaced with a Rambler on the keyring now.

Here is mine, the Mechaneer. On the job as a matter of fact;)

That's a beauty Victor.

Here is my collection:

Shown are Bantams, Classics, Vagabonds, Farmers, Cadets, Pioneers, a Micro-Farmer, a Cadet Plus and a Wenger Soldier in different colors.

They don´t look like users but that is simply because I usually carry them in pouches or alone in a pocket.

AlephZero · **Reply #17 on:** August 09, 2013, 08:58:13 PM

Not much wear on my brand new green alox Farmer.. but she will be a user

Notice how she dressed up for this photo op

ameeks · **Reply #18 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:06:05 PM

Really nice knife, Martin. Self mod?

A few weeks ago I was at the local flea market and saw this knife on a table. When I picked it up to take a look, the guy who was running the table promptly told me that it was a fake, and that real Swiss Army Knives don't have metal handles. I got it from him for $5. It's 100% a real Wenger SI, with no date on the tang. It's practically brand new, the only sign of use was a tiny nick on the blade from hitting the bail.

That's the sort of "fake" I'd be more than happy to buy any day.

That's awesome!

I tried to take a few pictures, but Some aren't worn enough to tell in the picture and others I just cant get the lighting right. I will mess around some more and try to get a few. If not I will just post a picture of the aloxes I have in my EDC rotation.
