I need to see one for real. Brown is an awesome knife color. These pics are just bad. My chocolate fudge/root beer Rambler is beautiful.

Mmm that sounds delicious Jazz. It seems to be a trend forming that Vic releases the worst photos of the LE prior to its release. If I recall the early electric yellow shots were similarly off and unrepresentative.

I’ll go one further than that - I’m not entirely sure these images ARE actual photos. They look like they could be computer rendered images and not actual photos of the knives.

But I’m not sure. They do have a certain… “not quite real” look to them though.

Not sure where I saw it but it was probably one of the SAK Alox type groups I'm in (UK based :dunno:)

If it looks like this* then I'd certainly buy one  :tu:

Yes; that’s much, much better than the stock image.

That looks more like a Burnt Gold  to me than a Terra Brown

Thanks for sharing the pic, SurgeUK - looks a bit like the Damast hunter pro colour….. I’ll be intrigued to see one for real when I get one when they come out!  :cheers:

When I first saw SurgeUK's pics, I thought: "Well, better bronze than poo... err metabolic waste products"  :whistle:
Best regards and stay safe,

Oh boy!  Normally I buy two of the annual LE colors, but if this accurate I'll buy three.   Love this!

Add me to the list of folks who think this looks much better than what precious images indicated.

It’s not the first time this has happened. Last year, the actual photos I saw of the annual alox looked WAY better than the official product renders.

Makes you wonder why they keep doing that…

Could it be a tactic? Show us a poor rendering so we will always be impressed more when the real pictures come out.

I showed my wife these and she called it Do-Do Brown.  I couldn’t stop laughing until she then commented on the lanyard.  Let’s just say it wasn’t PG and you don’t want to know.  Needless to say, I won’t be getting any.

Seeing that side-by-side of what's on the Victorinox website and a photo of the genuine article it absolutely boggles my mind why someone would look at what's on the official website and say "Yep, let's go with that one!"

Thanks for the pic ,Schneider! :hatsoff:  I had wondered what it was on your latest additions pic, but now I know! Must say I’m looking forward to getting one when Victorinox announces they’re available!  :cheers:

I absolutely adore this color!   I usually order two of the Alox LE's -- one for my collection and one for an impromptu gift, but I am really thinking I will need three of these!   One for me to use/carry, one for a shelf queen, and one for an impromptu gift.  :))

Doesn't that recall something that has been said at the beginning 2023?

Group photo with the LE24 PX (fourth from left) and a few color related ones.
I hadn't noticed the slight green tint before, but I really like this color.
