Thanks for the pics, victor. I like the blue ones very much. Do you know why they switched to blue?
I heard all brands that have been commissioning Vic's for years have been forced to receive them in blue from now on. Not just Bugnard but also Brutsch Rüegger, Sigmaform, etc ... All blue from now on :(

Decided so by Victorinox.

Oh dear, as an alox advertising knife collector I can only hope that this is not true. At Brütsch-Rüegger, the red ones are still in the shop, at Glomar the black ones.

 :think:
When I think about it, I can't quite believe it, because many companies want the knives in a color that matches their logo.
Or Victorinox is no longer interested in selling Alox on as advertising knifes, that would be old rumors.

I'm sure we'll know in a few months.
It'll depend on the fact if other companies still provide their usual color :D

Yes, time will tell. May I ask how you heard that Victorinox decided to just go blue?

I'm impressed with how much more robust the blades are compared with the regular 91mm SAKs. Or were the blades just thicker back in the '60s/'70s when I think this one was made? I don't have any other Alox or any other SAKs that old to compare with.

The 93mm blade stock is thicker.

I pondered where to place this link.

This may be as good of a place as any.

Old Cross Pioneer,in really good condition and fairly priced.
