Alox solo

Anyone have one? I’ve wanted to try one for some time and am worried about the thin profile in hand.

I'm interested to see if they still have the straight blades.   :popcorn:

I have a couple.  My biggest gripe is that it still is using the crinked blade.

Other than that, it's great.

Thanks for that side by Mech.  :cheers:  It won’t be here for another week. I’ll post pics when it arrives.

What do you mean by crinked blade?

Some of the Solos have the same blade as a pioneer.  It's ground sort of at an angle to make room for the reamer in the same layer.

The Pioneer, or rhe Bantam? The Pioneer has a BEAST of a blade, very thick. If that's the blade the Solo uses...I might have to get a Solo, or, according to the US Vic 'site, a Swiss Army 1 ( the Harvester is the Swiss Army 7 there, too).

Nice catch! Cool logo. What's it about? I can't read the print.

Is the knife black or green? I'm colour blind and can't tell on my screen.

It’s forest or British race car green I’d say. It says SOCOCUT on the back scale. They are a registered Victorinox seller out of Massachusetts.

Sorry Zoid. I can live with it, since the blade doesn’t rub against the scale at any point.

It's all good. I'll still use saks and already own a single layer alox. Will just have to look out for an older version solo.
