Annual Victorinox ALOX color for 2023?

[gamma_nyc]

Does anyone know when the 2023 ALOX colorway is going to be released? I've googled and didn't find.

Also, is there anywhere to find a green, blue, or red alox in Pioneer, Pioneer X, Farmer, or Farmer X?

thanks!

Picture to show the non-colored alox...

Additionally, the Pioneer X is available in both Red and Black ALOX and they're Knifecenter.com exclusives.

Black: https://www.knifecenter.com/item/VN...k-alox-aluminum-handles-knifecenter-exclusive

Green will probably be a custom or SwissBianco job.

I think the green Pioneer x is an exclusive from a non site-supporting dealer somewhere in the “mountains”

Just a guess but it seems like it’s time for a green again maybe? Sea green would be nice. They better bring back the Cadet too!

I've love a Cadet. I wouldn't mind if they slapped those 58mm scales on another model too, like a Rally or Rambler.

I got a blue pioneer years ago from cutleryshoppe. I’m pretty sure that was an exclusive from them.


Sorry for not being much help, but that means they’re out there…

Is there an Alox walker around?

I would love one, especially in a colored Alox.

Last year they announced the color mid January if I recall correctly.

You can find the Pioneer, PX, Farmer and FX in green, black, red, and blue here: https://messerundco.de

There were some made back when it was called the “Lumberjack”. I landed one a couple years ago.

Check it out!

Does anyone know if those are the only models
that will be offered in that color or is it just a sampling?

It’s the same three as last year. I was hoping they’d include the Cadet again, but I guess not.

Not sure - this pic was from a Euro SAK collectors FB group, no information was provided other than the photo.

Maybe it’ll look different in person… but that’s like neon puke green.

I believe they have a similar color - this year there were a bunch of Alox Classics released this year, with wavier scales.

Agree, one can only hope that color looks better in real life. But then again they only have it on three models I am not interested at all in.So I guess I don't care too much.

I should like the PX because I like the Pioneer and I like the 91mm scissors, but for some weird reason I don't like that combo on the PX.

Every year, they do three knives in this special color, and when they sell out, that's it. Also, from 2015, to 2020 the three knives in question were the Pioneer, Cadet, and Classic. Then in 2021, they switched it up, and the three became the Pioneer X*, the Hunter Pro, and the Classic. It appears that 2023 will continue that. I can tell you that earlier years have become very sought after, so as a SAK collector, I always make it a point to get at least one or two as some years sell out faster than others. As bright as this color is, I expect these won't be around for too long. The total run numbers are generally around 15,000 of each (spread across the world), except for the first year's 2015 knives where around 9,500 were made, which is why they so absurdly priced on those rare occasions you actually see one pop up on Ebay or here.

I will be grabbing the Pioneer X and the Hunter Pro as soon as they hit the dealers.
