Please forgive me for asking this simple question, yet I was unable to find an answer anywhere.

For Victorinox Alox, what are the Pins made of?

Never mind!!

They are made of "nickel silver, a copper/nickel/zinc alloy"  Helps if I ask my best friend Google.

That’s not entirety true, and neither is his post.

Sometimes in the past, brass and/or stainless steel were used.

And 91mm knives used to use nickel silver too, in the ‘50s and ‘60s. And even then, sometimes mixed with nickel silver for the 2.5mm pins and brass for the 2.2mm.
