Very nice John! I like the black alox. I've been considering getting one of the black Alox Farmers.

I have green, red, blue, orange and a few silver Alox (Pioneer & Farmer). Looks like I'm going to have to get black next month. (I'm so sick. )

Nice Jerry!!
I Finally received the Victorinox Alox Pioneer Solo I had ordered. Great little single blade. It measures 3-11/16 inches closed and 3/8" thick. Here are some photo's. I've included a comparison to the Victorinox Alox Bantam which is 3-5/16 inches closed and 1/4 inch thick. Both good little EDC's. Plus, I have a hankering for Alox handles also.

Glad they got there ok. Check out the Victorinox Alox Farmer X. The farmer has a saw blade. The farmer X, in addition to the saw blade it also has scissors. Or the Pioniere X is also cool.

I added this one to my Victorinox group yesterday. A Farmer in Green Alox. This one was a SFO for SoCoCut llc. and has the SoCoCut logo on the blade. New in the box.
