I carry an alox farmer use all the tools on it regularly.

The blade is a trifle thicker than the plastic scaled saks.

Been looking at that for a while but the price has gone up on Amazon from £20 posted to £25 ad £5 delivery over a few days...

The Cadet II has been edc for me for a whole bunch of years. Love the knife. Good luck on finding one. I think it's been out of production several years or so.

I to have a farmer, as well as a couple of the "normal" style ones, i don't like to go anywhere with out one(or 2). If you look at my back posts, you can see a belt pouch that topknot made for my farmer.

The Farmer is the fella; have a look around I think you should be able to beat Amazon in fact http://www.ukoutdoorstore.co.uk/acatalog/victorinox-Farmer-Alox.html
Alox does tend to have a premium

It is however worth the money
The saw is very useful indeed

Or you could customise one you have by popping the scales off and making some new ones of Antler/wood/anything you fancy.... even more stylish!
My EDC is a standard SAK that Capn Badger rescaled with Antler

As John said popping the scales and fitting some wood is easy if you take your time, this is my EDC.

Amazon has it cheaper at the moment, but it has it listed twice with almost a £10 price difference

Amazon- just checked the two links i posted to amazon where 1 farmer was just about £20 and one was just below £30 posted, they are both now under £21! How does this work...
