LE 2020 Aqua blue - available now
on: March 30, 2020, 11:47:48 AM
Just ordered my LE 2020 Aqua blue pioneer from Vic - they're on the website in UK - therefore Europe too I assume. Order now if you want to bet the e-mail announcement and rush. :hatsoff:

Thanks for the heads-up. It’s on the US site, as well.

Excellent.  Something to look forward to in the craziness that is life today. And of course, another Pioneer and Cadet, that I need like, um, really really badly.

The rational part of my mind told me there was no rush at all to buy this.  My local shop will have a truckload of these when they re-open in a couple of weeks.

But the irrational part won, and I ordered one before finishing my first cup of coffee.

Well, we are doing our parts to keep the economy going through the C-19 recession...  I say well done, Frailer.

Very true! Mind you, when will the shops reopen?! I tend to order mine by post as the Victorinox shop in London is a pricey round trip, especially when tempted by other things in stock! :rofl:

It's somewhat ironic that the 2020 LE is close in coloration to the "blue cross blue shield" color. Yes I want my covid SAK. I mean no joke in that reference, it will truly be a SAK and time to remember.
Awlways know if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Ok, I couldn't resist it.  :facepalm:

I've ordered a Pioneer in the LE 2020 Aqua Blue on-line, from the Vic' (UK) website (£47) along with a neckstrap (£2) and a red lanyard (£1) That way I qualified for free delivery by spending £50 (saving a whole £1.95  :woohoo:)

Now I just have to wait and see how long it takes to arrive  :dunno: (I have particular issues getting items delivered to my address)

I just wish they'd do a Pioneer X and Farmer (X) as standard! Come on Vic'  :pok:  :rant:

I tried to capture the relationship between the 2020 Edition (right) and the current “standard” blue Alox. I wasn’t entirely successful, but this is as close as I could get. My ability to describe colors is limited, but I might call this color “turquoise.”

Nice comparison shot Frailer  :hatsoff:

I only have the standard Alox Pioneer X, Farmer, Cadet & Mini Champ so, this will be my first LE/Coloured Alox. I did consider buying the set of 3 but I like to use my knives and, to be honest, I have found the smaller Cadet & Mini Champ just too small, although the Cadet was carried, but not used, with a suit due to its slimmer frame (the SAK that is, not mine)  :whistle:

If anyone is interested I'll take some shots when it arrives but I'm not sure if any pics I take will be a patch on those already freely available  :dunno:

Stay safe all  :salute:

Morning all (well it is in the UK)
It's here  :mail: :woohoo:
It arrived at about 8:45am via DHL which, considering the current situation, is not bad but, given that it came from Germany is, quite frankly, fantastic.
3 days turnaround, from abroad, colour me impressed. I wait longer for a 1st class letter from the UK  :dunno:
Well done to Vic for a speedy dispatch and to DHL for finding the bloody place  :tu:
Have a good day all and stay safe out there  :salute:

I ordered Thursday from Messerundco. There were a couple of other bits and pieces I needed (aren't there always?) that the Victorinox store didn’t have and the price wasn’t much different. Colour me excited...
We take what is offered...

Mine came yesterday via DHL, so not a bad delivery time in the circs - here it is with the rest of its siblings. I also agree with Frailer on the colour, turquoise or peacock blue.

I think “peacock blue” is probably the best description I’ve heard yet.

I’m really surprised how much I like this color. It’s not orange, but it’s not bad.

Unfortunately, I was heading out to work (I'm allowed before anyone asks  :whistle: ) so didn't have time. Morover, I wanted to do it in natural light.

I'm off tomorrow so I'll try and get some in the sun that is promised us here  :tu:

Afternoon all. As promised here are a few shots of my newly arrived LE Aqua Pioneer taken in natural light.

Two shots are solo and the other two are with my silver Alox Pioneer X, Farmer & Mini-Champ. Unfortunately, the Cadet is MIA as it was loaned to a mate (before the lockdown) and won't be back with me until it's all over  :rant:
If I get the chance later I'll try and get some in direct sun  :tu:

Again, as promised, here's a couple in direct sunlight and a couple just sat on the desk, again in natural light.

I haven't enhanced the pics in anyway and, if anybody is interested, they were taken with an iPhone 11 Pro Max in normal photo mode (without flash)
