Did they make these in any other colors yet?

Yes but they are not available in the US from US dealers yet and who knows if they will be

... who knows if they will be

Don't say that. You'll jinx us. I'm hoping Cutlery Shoppe or DLT Trading will eventually get some in.

I was looking for any info, no matter where they're sold because I was curious. I did a google search but I think I'm finding a lot of customs and mods. Who officially has them for sale from Victorinox.

I know some of our European members have had them but couldn't tell you much more than that

The two places I know of in Europe that have coloured Pioneer Xs are these, I have the LCSAS one, as I liked the Swiss flags on the nameplate on the back:


http://www.couteaux-du-so...rinox-pioneer-x-red-lcsas (only 2 left!)


https://www.schweizermess...nox-pioneer-x-alox-rot-se


I'm pretty sure LCSAS, at least, will deliver to the US


In the latest Swiss Bianco newsletter he's said the US store will be selling coloured Pioneer X models, but without the key ring nub (to be different, I guess). These models will have Swiss Bianco on the blade, but no nameplate logo (I'm not keen on blade markings myself).

BTW all the above have the full Victorinox warranty

Mine is still going strong after 9 months. Love how solid it is. I carried it about 90% of the time.

I want one of the red ones so bad, but $80 makes me feel like a fool. I'm worried the red won't be available here and I don't want a blade stamp. 

[raistlin65]

I think we should petition DLTTrading or Cutlery Shoppe to order some. I wonder if we got together a big group buy willing to pre-order if they would?

I'm in! I figured they would have been here by now. Guess I'm just impatient.

[Roc]

Never mind. I pulled the trigger already. I have no self control. I saw the Swiss Bianco X's pop up on eBay and I couldn't stand the sight of the blade stamp. They were a bit more pricey anyway. 

[gregpost]

I'd like a blue model and I'm planning to use it, so I guess I'll wait.

[Roc]

Nothin wrong with that. I plan to carry and use mine. I'm not worried about resale. I'm buying it for myself, not the next owner.

I heard that Blade Stamp on Swissbianco SAK's is the result of Victorinox policy for non-standard SAKs (be it models or colors)

Still waiting because I thought one of them would have received a shipment of colored Pioneer X's by now. I even left comments to both companies on social media to do so. I don't see why they would not... maybe Victorinox is taking their time, they do seem to treat N. America as their secondary market sometimes.

The ones from LCSAS don't have a blade stamp, but instead have the nice Swiss flags logo on the back scale (see my pics). They cost 55 CHF, which is about $55, plus shipping, but LCSAS do ship to the USA. Only one left of their current stock in red, though!:

Already pulled the trigger on it.  Now the wait.

Only took a few days to receive mine from Switzerland to the UK, so at least they seem to send them out quite fast. I think the LCSAS one is the nicest of all the coloured Pioneer X versions I've seen, don't think you'll regret the purchase!

Good to hear they ship out fast, but I picked a pretty busy time of year to order. At least I have the pics of yours to look at till mine arrives. 
I agree that the red LCSAS is one of the best looking I've seen. If you have to put your mark on a SAK what better than the Swiss Cross.

Looks like they had one more in stock. I pounced on it. Thanks for suggesting it!

Your not helping. I want here NOW!

Count me in.  Bought it used, it already had the scales done and stone washed blades.  Still warming up to it because I'm used to seeing shiny blades:

I'd of bought that in a heartbeat. I've never owned a washed blade, but I've always liked the look of them.

Count me in.  Bought it used, it already had the scales done and stone washed blades.  Still warming up to it because I'm used to seeing shiny blades:

Pioneer X or modded 91mm scissors?

I like the look. It's kind of a lighter wash than some I've seen, at least the way it shows up on my screen. And I love that green! Is that the dunkelgrün or darker? I can smell the mossy brook just looking at it. Nice knots too. Way beyond my comfort zone with paracord tying.  Very nice and very new looking for a used one.

X or modded 91mm?  Hmmmm  I never thought it could be a modded 91mm, but that does make sense.  The seller called it a Pioneer X, so I just figured it was.  The wash is pretty true to how the screen shows it, not too dark.  I think it was the green scales that made me love it most...though I don't know which green it is.
The lanyard came with it.
