Thanks John. I will have to be careful with this one. I can't hardly tell it's in my pocket.
I have a Black Alox Cadet that feels the same.. Also a Cellidor Bantam too and its real light weight too.. ::tu:: ::nod:: ::tu::
Enjoy that Beauty Smitty!!! ::ds::

Ahh, Alox. There's an inexplicable draw there that I have a difficult time resisting. Congrat's Smitty.

I've always related myself to a Magpie. They're related to Crows. A Parliament of Magpies. A Murder of Crows.

But I just found out I've been wrong all these years.
Wikipedia:
"Magpies do not steal trinkets and are positively scared of shiny objects, according to new research. The study appears to refute the myth of the “thieving magpie”, which pervades European folklore. It is widely believed that magpies have a compulsive urge to steal sparkly things for their nests."

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.

Hi Buddy,

Glad they got there ok. ::super_happy:: 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. ::tu::
