Victorinox SAK Alox question.

[augustus88]

Are the Alox scales on Victorinox knives hollow or sold slabs of aluminum?

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

[Jockohomo]

Solid slabs.

Solid.

A few Christmas's ago I made a bunch of easy openers out of the Victorinox alox solo's for the women in the clan as purse knives. I did not know for sure till I hit it with the dremel tool what I was going to find. I was greatly relieved to find solid aluminum.

 

[augustus88]

WOW that was quick!

I didn't want to take a dremel to one only to find that the scales are hollow. I knew a few fellow knife nuts would know!

Thanks again guys.

Not only are they solid aluminum alloy, but they're sturdier than the standard models, too. :thumbup:

One Victorinox Pioneer with RED ALOX scales is on order.:thumbup:

Pretty soon I'll need a 2nd job if I keep hanging around here with you fine folks!

I have the Pioneer Rancher! It is a solid knife. One of my favorites was a single bladed RED ALOX. It was in my car when it got stolen.

That sucks! A car and a knife stolen at the same time!
