    Thank you. One of the best ever victorinox alox colour editions I have ever seen.
    Amazing collection and dedication...love them.
    I just ordered an Champaign gold cadet today on Amazon India...have a small collection of SAK here from years...very expensive hobby for an average Indian. This would be my first alox cadet ..I have t pioneers in silver n orchid colour.
    Please keep on making SAK videos.

    Beatifull collection! My only one Cadet is a 2018 berry red limited edition. I love that knife so much! I was afraid when I heard that the color can worn off but so far after one year use It is still in a great shape. If you need a workhorse you can still buy the silver alox for less money and without any color that is very wear ressistant. Maybe I will do that in the future :'D
    I also have a Pioneer 2019 champagne gold, a Victorinox Solo in silver and a Pioneer X in silver. They are excellent knives. Many other mentioned here that they prefer the Pioneer but my personal favourite is the Pioneer X. That extra layer gives a great comfort when you holding the knife and the scissors are essential for me. Overall in size and in terms of tools that is great for me.
    I do really understand your words about a Cadet is a great companion because It is not threatening. I work in a office and non of my colleagues using any pocket knife. These small knives they can accept however they are still making a joke about why I am carrying a small pocket knife with me. I just don't care.

    • @AJHart-eg1ys
      @AJHart-eg1ys 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It seems more useful than the cadet. I'll take an awl over a file any day. Although the Pioneer X adds the scissors (and about $9), which I use more than anything on my minis. The Farmer swaps the scissors for the saw, and I think the tools on the Farmer tend to be a little more thick/sturdy than the standard ones. But another step up and we're really getting into the cash for a fairly small knife, and not too far from decent multitools. It's all about finding your tipping point, I guess. 😊

    Damn I never knew that many colours of the alox were made. I wish they'd offer the alox in multiple colours on all their knives instead of just releasing one colour for one particular knife each year. Love the way the colour wears off after they've been carried for a long time giving it a weathered look

    the Cadet might be the best overall for minimalist pocket carry, but you didn't mention the best way to carry one in the pocket. Add a vertical pocket clip so you can clip it to the outside of your front pants pocket. I used to keep a cadet in my car, but now I have a Pioneer, which is slightly larger than the Cadet.

    Cadets are so great. I have the three basic colors. I missed out on these limited editions, and I want to eventually have a decent collection like yours. I found someone selling a new orange, and dark green for $100. I think this might be a good start. They don't have the Limited Edition year stamped on the back? Is that normal?
    Do you think $100 is a fair price? Thanks.

  • @testtester3363

    Missed the best use for the file. Can sharpen (chisel like) the tip and use it like an awl/reemer as well as a great way to open things like mail, packages, plastic etc.

    I just need a blade. I switch between the Alox Bantom, and the Alox #1. If I am in a setting where I feel the need to wear socks, I figure anything goes so I carry the Bantom for the extra tool. No socks means blade only. Alox 1. Those 2 are all I ever need.

  • @theloneranger9520
    @theloneranger9520 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I would take the pioneer over the cadet. The reason being because all the tools are the same apart from the pioneer having an awl instead of the nail file. I think the awl is more useful and more suited to the rest of the tools. The file would be a more useful and compatible tool if it was a proper file for use on metal and wood.
