WTB: ALOX 93mm in green or blue colors

[d.weglarz13]

Hey guys.  I have been looking all over, and it seems its almost impossible to find any Alox in 93mm(pioneer/soldier/farmer) that are not the plain silver handles.  I am dying to try my first Alox, and really want blue or green handles.
I will be happy to know what you have, please email me at  david.j.weglarz@gmail.com

This is I think my first post here, but I have been reading countless threads trying to decide on the right Alox for me.  Any help at all is greatly appreciated.  I have cash and other Leatherman's to trade if interested.
Thanks guys.

hmm, "the right Alox..."

How about a Syph mod Orange Ceracoat Urban Pioneer with blackout tools.   

But seriously, you will have more luck finding Black or Red Alox without getting into limited run models where the price goes WAY up.
You can find Black Farmers and Pioneers on eBay for reasonable prices. Most of the time, but they will still be more than silver.

e.g.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/350559685511?

If you like the smaller 84mm Cadet there are more colours available, but they are nowhere near as tough as the 93mm knives.

thanks.  I was thinking of Swissbianco.  Do they ship reasonably fast?  I like the copper a lot, seems about the same price as black.  just wondering how the copper shows wear....

Hey, actually i'd be happy to take a black one too, just to add.
Thanks, if anyone knows where I can score one quick.

Black alox 93mm is available from Italy.
Took 7 days to get to the U.K.

They also have other colors in 84mm Cadet.

There's a nice looking line in green 84mm from Denmark.

Thanks, but they only seem to be in italian, which i don't understand. 

I really want a soldier in black, if anyone knows where.....thanks again though

What about this one? Black Alox Pioneer.

That's a pretty good price for a black pioneer, the same site lists a silver one for $34.50.

As far as black Soldiers go I think the only thing like that is a Swiss Railway "Black Beauty", hard to find and pricey.

[d.weglarz13]

thanks!!!  I will grab it now!!

[d.weglarz13]

Got it.  Thanks very much for the help.

[daverobson]

Glad to have been of help! 

I just wish items like that were more easily available in the U.K.!

[d.weglarz13]

Oh no!!!  Just got notified that Swiss knife shop is out of them....
Back to the drawing board, I really need a soldier or farmer or cadet in black/blue /green....

I found a blue one overseas, too bad they don't ship to the US

That's bad luck, it looked to be a bargain too!
