Victorinox, Farmer X Alox, Swiss Army Pocket Knife, Medium, Multi Tool, Camping, 10 Functions, Blade, Screwdriver 3 mm, Bottle opener

I have the Farmer Alox, which I thought was the best penknife ever, then saw they did the Farmer Alox X, which now includes Victorinox's brilliant scissors! I had to get one and I'm more than glad I did. Although it adds another layer and therefore makes it slightly more bulky, the usefulness of the scissors makes up for that 100 times over. Strangely the blade I probably use the most is the fantastic awl/reamer. Unlike the standard SAK's, this one comes out in line with the handle rather than at 90 degree's to it and is very sharp along it's edge and point. I use it for opening packages, making pilot holes for screws, scoring, marking, scraping and umpteen other jobs. The Alox body feels great in the hand (I often find myself just fondling it!) It wont break if you drop it, like plastic scales can and I rarely use the tweezers or toothpicks in the standard models anyway. I have several other models of SAK and this is the one I always carry and never feel under-tooled. It is a bargain for it's quality and would be at twice the price.

wasn't sure about getting the alox victorinox at first due to losing a few tools. but now it's arrived it's become my favourite carry. it's sturdy and once the tools are opened they seem to sit better allowing assured use

What a fantastic item. It has all the tools you could ever need all in one place and all at an amazing price. This is definitely one to have with you.

I think this may be my favourite Swiss Army Knife!Find the size and weight no issue for EDC, but can understand this may not suit everyone. The quality is as expected from Victorinox, they just always get it right.I prefer the alox scales to traditional cellidor, for a four layer SAK this does not feel bulky when handling it. The only slight negative is the position of the keyring, it can dig into the hand due to its positioning. It seems to be slightly different angle to other SAKs I own.I considered the Farmer but could not do without the scissors so opted for the Farmer X, I do not regret this as they are one of my most used tools and the alox scales keep the knife slim even with an extra layer.To sum up, you should buy this knife.

Again, an excellent Vic Alox. Again, box obliterated in transit due to insufficient care during the packaging phase by Amazon. When bought as a gift, you want the original box. This happens all the time. As I’ve mentioned in previous comments, only with the blister-packed Vic SAKs, can I expect to receive the knife with original packaging intact. Shame really

Amazon had this at a good price . Victorinox R.R.P. is way too high. If your looking for a small outdoor Knife , the 110mm Forester is probably better . Then again , you may disagree . Welcome to the world of multi tools , where convenience competes with usefulness .For the average urban dweller , I wish they would switch out the saw for the metal file . Basically the alox version of the Mountaineer .

This knife has been in my pocket since I bought it, and I use it every single day for some task or other. It’s beautifully put together and to me, it’s perfect. I put off buying as I’m a miserable sod, but I’m glad I did. The fact it had dropped a few quid had nothing to do with it! Feels good in the hand and light in the pocket. Buy one now!!

Very well made quality item for my camping expedition with loads of tools
