Say you work in or own a knife shop which I walk into looking for a new Victorinox knife, but I'm torn between a standard cellador model like a tinker or recruit and an Alox model like perhaps a cadet or farmer.
Convince me why I should buy a more expensive alox model vs a less expensive cellador model that's not missing anything.
As it stands right now I love the looks of alox and the color options, but don't like the lack of the toothpick and tweezers nor am I particularly interested in the fingernail tool being on my knife. The nail tool may be useful, but I carry a pair of clippers which aren't there and they have their own fingernail tool . Lastly I like having the pen blade even though I don't use it all the time.
I pair a classic with any non sak I carry which I could easily do with an alox model, but then again I could just go with cellador and not have to.
It seems as though the alox models are what's trendy right now and what people care about right now, but I'm really not sure why.
