Pioneer or pioneer x

[Rsmith_77]

The cadet is one I never tried
I think I gravitated more to the cadet 2 which was discontinued.

But I will admit to being curious about a cadet x

I own several Pioneer X's, but it seems that I swim against the tide on this one, and I still prefer the Pioneer.

Two layers are nice and slim in the pocket, and "somehow" I get by without scissors.



It's not a strong preference though. If I only had a Pioneer X I'd be content too.

The inline Phillips is one of my favourite SAK features. I wish it was more common.

Mine too. That's why I included it when I built that piece (five years before the FarmerX came out).

The inline Phillips is one of my favourite SAK features. I wish it was more common.

My knuckles developed an acute aversion for a Phillips located where the bottle opener is. To the point where I won’t but any model that has that feature.
I untied many knots with the bottle opener.
The inline phillips its the only way I’ll use it.

My home made FarmerX plus dangles in my left front pocket.

This. Is. Awesome.

Well done!

I've personally found the Pioneer X to be the perfect SAK for my urban needs. I used to EDC a Hunstman or Fieldmaster on most days, so the Pioneer X is a bit thinner. I stick it in a back pocket and forget it's there. Having the in-line awl and scissors on the same SAK is fantastic.

I heard recently there is going to be a 2 layer 93mm Alox Voyageur coming sometime in the near future. I would carry that over the Pioneer X because it's thinner and lighter. Not really a fan of 3 layer 93mm Alox stuff

Pioneer. I'm not a fan of more than 2 layers on the alox models.

Where did you hear that? That would be very interesting if it comes to pass.

I too prefer the 2-layer Pioneer. Scissors I have not much, if any use for. But that is just me.

 

[Stelth]

I switch back and forth between the Pioneer and Pioneer X. It depends on what I'm doing and where I'll be.

I carry a Compact when I go to Albq maybe twice a month. Otherwise it's a Pioneer , Spartan, Tinker.
