I´ve been carrying my new FX for 10 days now and I must say I like it. Almost like a better Huntsman.
Used it to slice up some apples, and only just now I used the scissors to open a sachet of instant coffee.

Here it is on top of my other 93mm.
I like the FX better than the Huntsman.  Despite losing the backside and scale tools, the alox scales on the FX give an extra feel of texture and durability that is nice for outdoors.

But I am still hesistant. After joining in on the Dean51 challenge last year, my knife collection multipled like a colony of rabbits on fertility pills. And I like Alox SAKs a lot already.

You are a little safer for an Alox challenge than a traditional.  Alox SAKs come in only a few models and have limited color availability, especially as compared to traditional knives where the patterns, handle materials, colors, etc are almost endless.

Just reading this and I am in tears :rofl:

As for the challenge, I am not ready to commit just yet. But it seems like this challenge is simply too popular to not participate. I only have one Alox model though, not sure how interesting 30 photos of my Bantam will be :whistle:

Except that there are discontinued models, colors, advertising knives, and LEs. I just got a sweet discontinued model that will make its debut in July.  :cheers:

Yes, there are less options. But I like almost all of those options  :facepalm:

I almost bought a FX this week. The talk in this thread reminded me that it would be the perfect SAK for me. Let's see if I can resist the temptation

This is what I like about this forum. Someone asks for help getting out of the maelstrom they have been gotten into, only for a "savior" to come along and place a SAK or MT or knife into their outstretched hand, watching the poor helpless soul be sucked into the abyss  :rofl:

Add scissors to it! :dd:
The file is severely missing from the 93mm line. Maybe the Cybertool driver too.

I did briefly consider having a scissor layer. It would have been pretty easy, since I was only removing a scissor layer and adding a file layer. Unfortunately, I think my pivot bolts are too short to handle the width of an extra layer. And it’s sssoooooooooo hard to source out longer pivot bolts these days.

A Cybertool layer would be mondo cool.

Yes, that is why I said “a little safer”.  But the Traditional challenge has tons of discontinued as well.

That may be difficult.  The FX is an awesome knife, especially if you do outdoor activities.

I'd like a Pioneer X with pliers added. That would be a terrific little tool to use for paracord projects.

Didn't SwissBianco have 91mm Alox scales made? :think: If so, you could create your own! 8)

That’s the Cognac cadet made in error by Vic and stored in a corner of their warehouse apparently until being sold off about 10 years ago, there’s about 1000 of them. They were supposed to be orange for the five colors series
