New Alox... Farmer X.

[gra_farmer]

If they added a small pruning blade into the mix like the Victorinox Pioneer 7, that would be my perfect alox

and how thick would that be ?

 

[chimpy leon]

Just give me a steel on my main blade that I don’t have to strop after every day to keep it sharp. That would be my perfect SAK.

I must have dreamed. I thought that the Farmer with scissors had been out for yonks.

I had a modded grey alox farmer at one time, but it was too heavy and I didn't carry it, so sold it. But I could have sworn Victorinox, almost immediately after that, released a scissory farmer. It's why I didn't feel quite so gutted when I realized what I'd done.

For alox, I like the Harvester. For everything else the Outrider and Compact

I want one
I have a pioneer X and I really like that but it's missing the saw.

Its a popular mod that ws being chruened out alot on Kifeforums.Bladeforums by a chap called Scibeer. It was expensive because you needed 3 donour knives since the scissors layer on the regular SAK came with a back tool, to not have one you'd need the original farmer, the donor with the scissors and a clean backspring from somthing like a Bantam or the single blade model - used to cost around $100+ even second hand

The only scissors Alox SAK they brought out was the Pioneer X which is withouth the SAW layer which came out in about 2015

personally I wish they'd fix the machinery and brought back the 85mm scissors range

I'd much prefer something like the old Artisan/Fieldmaster

 

[MrEd]

Perfect. I wonder who'll stock them first in the U.K.?

Heinnie probably

 

[Tiley]

Well, it's exactly what I've been waiting for, so I am going to set aside the pennies for it now. Everything about it - the inclusion of saw AND scissors, the alox handles, the resulting slightly thicker SAK - is brilliant. I can hardly wait for them to become available here, in the U.K.. I'd definitely be on for a group buy, if we can manage it.

Ah, that's right. Scibeer was the guy who made mine. And, was it the Pioneer X I was thinking of?

Ift they could figure out a saw for the Compact, I'd snap it up ... if they could keep it compact

There is a non grip version, but still has the contouring.

[Corso]

I've looked at them both - I don't like the curve or the cut outs of that version either - it forces a hand posititon that only works for some cuts

 

[dave53]

I dunno, but it sounds as though we ought to arrange a group buy

I’m in for a group buy keep me posted please

 

[dave53]

[RichardJackson]

Jared, can you point me directly to the source of this information please? UK suppliers are saying they have no knowledge of this knife coming out I'm afraid

edit: Ah, just found your link, sorry.

Odd. I would have thought that the pic of it came from Victorinox.
If they are a store exclusive, that'd be really annoying, but no indication it is.

I've asked my sister in Germany to swing by a knife shop that carries SAK's after the launch date.

They might have it as she's just on the German Swiss border
