I just grabbed a black SAK Alox Cadet from Target today on a whim...I finally get the appeal of this knife. I can't believe how slim it is, it's a good 1/3 thinner than my single blade GEC #15 and it has many more functions. I see why everyone loves this knife now, what a great buy for under $30.

Yes, another convert! They are excellent little knives and a great value for sure.
Wow, such a great knife. Awesome pictures also.This 33 Conductor has been in my pocket since it arrived yesterday - a beautiful Gabon Ebony gift from one of our brothers here on the forum... "bearsquared" - many sincere THANKS to you Rupert!
I'm really glad she likes it!Gorgeous.
Here is "our" carry today. My daughter's Moonpie knife (keychain tool) - a very generous gift from ALLHSS - and my peanut (which she has claimed as her own as soon as she is old enough).
and now after the Moonpie knife is out of the package - she's just a little bit excited!
Thanks for making her one happy little girl, Logan!
I've been carrying my new Vic Farmer. I think you all know what a Victorinox Alox Farmer looks like, haha. Thinking about having a file and scissors added.

Nice! You appear to be using one of the most important tools on that SAK
I have yet to try the Torpedo IPA, thoughts?

I've found myself quite taken with this little Norfolk. It's keeping me company today while I monitor the temperature on my smoker. Brisket for dinner tonight

My #26 wharncliffe in goldenrod jig bone today.

Very nice! Have ye managed to get the secondary blade open, yet? Those #26s can be a challenge.
I have a Tacky Tango with the same blade combination; I especially like the proportions of the (true) wharncliffe on this one.

Thanks Sarah. Happily the pull on my coping blade is manageable. Not light by any means but definitely not a nailbreaker. But you're right about the #26s being tricky. I had to lightly oil and exercise the main blade a little to get it to do what I wanted. Thankfully, that wharncliffe shape provides plenty of purchase to pinch open.
Please educate me as to what a false wharncliffe blade might be
