How much do you UK blokes think shipping to the US would be?

Would love a cool colored Farmer.

About $15 for tracked and insured. Takes a week or so. Happy to send a package on to you if you want, Harley.

Honestly I am holding out for a Farmer. Have not found any yet but I could be doing it wrong, this whole internet thing is pretty mysterious.

The coloured farmers seem to be finished. It looks like it might be just pioneers and solos. I will see what I can scrounge up on the web and make a few calls to shops etc.

I will probably order at month end because I am getting a little nervous that pioneer and solo colours might start to vanish too. On a positive note delivery is free in South Africa with Sharp edge if the order is more than 500. So there should be no transport cost at all.

On a separate issue there is a South African Pioneer (the NATO one) that I can possibly get hold of too. I already have one. I am happy to try and pick this up speculatively and pass it to someone over there later at cost or swop and as with the Sharp edge stuff everything will be transparent as I will be able to demonstrate what I paid. What is one of those worth in Europe? Just so I don't burn my fingers? Seems a shame to let it go when there is this opportunity for one of you aloxoholics to add it to your collection.

The whole Nato Sadf soldier thing is moot. Someone has committed to buy it if I can secure it for them. :b2t:

I believe the dark blue, dark green, and orange pioneers/solos are the SA exclusive knives on sharpedge, anyway.

Solos
• 0.8000.20R Victorinox AN: Red Alox with Victorinox logo
• 0.8000.22R Victorinox AN: Blue Alox with Victorinox logo
• 0.8000.23R Victorinox AN: Black Alox with Victorinox logo
• 0.8000.24R Victorinox AN: Green Alox with Victorinox logo
• 0.8000.79R Victorinox AN: Orange Alox with Victorinox logo

Pioneers
• 0.8201.20R4 Victorinox AN: Red Alox with Victorinox logo
• 0.8201.22R4 Victorinox AN: Blue Alox with Victorinox logo
• 0.8201.23R4 Victorinox AN: Black Alox with Victorinox logo
• 0.8201.24R4 Victorinox AN: Green Alox with Victorinox logo
• 0.8201.79R4 Victorinox AN: Orange Alox with Victorinox logo

As I understand it these were all limited run colours for the South African market when they were first produced. Whether they are available now in other markets I have no way of knowing. If you visit the Sakwiki page for the Solo it lists all the Solo codes above as special run.

If you're in Joburg, try going to Sharp Edge in Sandton City- they might have stock in the shop even though there's none online. Also, if you buy enough you might get a bit of a discount

Strange that you say that I was thinking about checking their physical stock today.

Thanks. I will call them in the morning.

I've been monitoring this thread with great interest.

I would like to buy several of these Alox models.I'm waiting to see what is available to determine what I may buy.

Good luck gentlemen.

Received a Solo and Classic from Voetsak over the weekend - just a black one of each, probably destined for some light hacking - big :tu: from me.
