All alox models are easily worth the money and are some of best pocket knives around.they are thinner and lighter than their celidor counterparts and more durable.
Wouldn't say lighter, I'm pretty sure the pioneer x is about 10grams heavier than a climber, (I'd guess a tinker would close the gap a slight amount) Thinner and more durable, yes, thicker blades, and a thinner overall package, I'd give it that.All alox models are easily worth the money and are some of best pocket knives around.they are thinner and lighter than their celidor counterparts and more durable.
If the tweezers are a must, then the alox models are not for you.
The alox models are slimmer overall with slightly thicker & stronger blades.
The cellidor scales get scratched easily and can break. You don’t have to worry about that with alox.
Other than that, they are all fine. Correction: they are all great EDCs and users.
Then there is always the knife nut’s solution to the problem of choosing between two alternatives: get them both.
You can always pair up an alox model (e.g. farmer) with a Vic Classic, and you will have 3 blade sizes, scissors, nail file, toothpick and TWEEZERS.
I might have tried to answer this till a week ago. We were out with two little girls. The four year old was stung by a hornet or bee and was crying. The stinger was embedded. The tweezers on the Tinker came to the rescue. Stinger removed, little girl happy again. Thanks SAK. Glad it wasn't an Alox.
