The Old Rugged Victorinox Cross..... Pioneer content, grails and such.... Red Gold...

The best thread on a iconic traditional to date!:thumbup:

I'm so addicted to alox, that I've been selling off my Case collection to feed the beast.
 
I fell out of the alox buying game a while back, but want to start getting back into alox again. I will have to sell off some stuff to do it though,
 
Thanks for starting this thread Woodrow!!! Can't wait to see Andi's GAW ALOX when it arrives!!!!!!

Cap i really enjoyed looking at your customized knives. I couldn't find any pics of a Pioneer modified with a magnifying glass until i made mine, now that i see your other mods i want to add some more tools to my knife.

Some scissors on a Farmer or Pioneer might just be perfect..... a little comfort to go with the ruggedness.

Thanks. Just to be clear I had these modded for me. I wish I had the time/tools to do it myself. You do not see the mag glass used in alox to often. I really love that knife. It is a bit strange in a few ways, but it works so well for me. First off the pliers have a nail nick which is basically non existent for 93mm pliers. I am not really sure how it got there, but love it. you will also notice the blade deploys opposite of the shield. There is no can opener/cap lifter layer at all. It all works well though.
 
I love it! It was a gift from Andi (Humppa) and it's handy for a lot of uses!!!

Knives, keys, cigar rest...very heavy and well made!!!!!!!!!!! Get a lot of complements on it too!
 
Nice. :thumbup: The orig Swiss Railway Soldier was a Vic so that must be an aftermarket custom since it's a SI. Last one I saw was on the bay back in 2013.
