Yep, that looks like a winner to me too. Only thing I have mixed feeling about is the arrow/bolt, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.
 
Tool selection is nothing special, but I like the orange.
Overall, thumbs up. :thumbup:
 
I'm a sucker for anything in orange so thumbs up for me!
Where did u purchase this and how much was it?

Something to do with Electrician perhaps?

It has different tools than I remember the other colors having. Didn't the others have an awl? I think this is a more useful tool than the others if I am remembering the others correctly.
 
I like it , I have an E+ that's my constant work companion , this one is even nicer . Would love to see a HaIII rendition .

I am not a big fan of orange scales (but original micarta is fine?). Anyway, I really like that orange Alox. Great looking knife.
 
I just got a Cadet model with the same color scales. I have already had several folks comment on it.

Matter of fact, my sergeant just about fell in love with the thing.....until he tested the blade. I had just ran it over my ultra fine SM rods and stropped it with HA diamond spray.

Needless to say his thumb is a bit sore now. That is about four folks in a row that have "tested" my edges and paid the price. I give them the "now this is real sharp" disclaimer but they never listen. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a sense of pride when they start leaking.

I dig the orange.

Now that is funny. :D
 
Yes, that's a funny story. I once had some friends over and when cooking together I handed out some Opinels, since I didn't have enough cooking knives. While cutting meat and vegetables with them, they were surprised how sharp those Opinels were. Sometimes I think most of the non-knife people are used to dull blades.

I wish Victorinox offered more colored alox models here in Europe.

I just plain wish they offered more alox, especially orange alox. :D
