Victorinox Pioneer colors

[MH13750]

Wanted to find out if the Pioneer was/is made in blue alox. I know they've been made in red,silver,and black alox. Haven't stumbled upon any blue ones though. But,since the Farmer has a blue version,figured a blue Pioneer might exist. I'm sure there are custom versions out there, how about Victorinox made versions?

I think I saw a blue one on Ebay several weeks ago.

I've never seen a Vic made blue Pioneer. I had Scibeer make one for me.

Sp far as I know the Blue was only ever used on the Farmer.

Thanks for the replies. I will keep an eye on ebay for one. Otherwise it looks like it's a custom made item. Anyone here ever deal with Swiss Bianco? I read that he is now in the USA. He seems to occasionally get Victorinox to make some unique models,especially Alox versions.

Right now Swiss Bianco is back in Switzerland for a short stay after IWA show in Germany. His special alox runs typically have Victorinox-assembled configurations using the "raw" alox scales that Roger splash-anodizes. He did not produce any blue Pioneers, bud did Farmers, Cadets, and Classics in a variety of colours.

Swiss Bianco (Roger) doesn't make to order but creates limited runs of SAKs, either cosmetically different (like the splash alox Farmers) or re-issues of retired models like the Scientist or the Yeoman.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like you have to be a bit lucky to score something unique from Roger.
