Victorinox 823126 Pioneer X Alox Swiss Army Pocket Knife, Medium, Multi Tool, 9 Functions, Blade, Can Opener, Silver

Product Information

Fast forward a year and a half and I ended up joining the army and it's the one knife I've used consistently, I want to upgrade eventually but I really just can't find the right knife at the moment, and owning this useful tool prevents me spending money on an upgrade. The overall quality of the Victorinox knife is still fantastic with snap on all blades that would make some other knife makers weep in mass production ? Lovely Swiss Army knife. Feels quality with the alox aluminium scales. All the main tools I needed. Nice heft in hand. Ideal gift This is a superb knife, beautifully engineered and looks and feels fantastic. I am a big fan of Victorinox scissors, they are well engineered, perform great and I find them extremely useful in and EDC knife, the addition of the scissors to the Pioneer is most welcome. I am a late convert to Alox. I hate T&T so it makes sense. I already have the Pioneer which I consider the perfect urban EDC compromise, that is legality, loadout and weight. I use the Farmer for more rural EDC. The Pioneer-X I consider to be the perfect domestic and office EDC where the scissors are useful and the blade shape is generally considered non-threatening.

I have carried the pioneer for four decades on a daily basis and often thought about a pair of scissors and what if . There are no such worries here, the tin opener opens tins surprisingly well, albeit slowly, the two screwdrivers will drive any screw that they fit, and the spike makes holes and enlarges them perfectly. The sprung scissors are a much under-rated tool, sometimes essential for minor emergencies and neater work. These are not only sprung, speeding up longer cuts, but also precision-tight, cutting threads, paper, etc with aplomb. I think this began when Benchmade unveiled a shake-up in their Griptilian line, offering an upgraded steel (from 154cm to 20CV) and handle material (from nylon to G10). This was something Benchmade fans had long been begging for; so much so that a market for replacement handles for the Griptilian emerged. It seems that Benchmade finally realized how much money they were leaving on the table and acted accordingly. So in 2017 I believe the pioneer X was offered , the model here with scissors that so ,so many wanted ? My self included !

By that, I mean I set the idea aside for a week or two, because it turns out Victorinox was listening. Take a gander at the Victorinox Pioneer X. I would not say no to this knife it's UK legal, light and has plenty of useful tools, looks great and has really proved it's use to me. Versatile little tool and feels and looks great, well worth the price and comes in handy for a range of jobs from the garden to work plus HH above and beyond in service

It has a good Alox grip. The “Alox” in the name of this knife refers to textured aluminum grip. It’s been part of the Pioneer series since 1957, and I consider it to be far superior to the thermoplastic scales of a typical SAK. It stays in my hand better in slippery conditions, and I also just think it looks better. The pioneer x is i think one of two best models from Victorinox ever , the other is the soldier/pioneer that this is evolved from ! Got this for whittling when out on walks, seems to have the right combination of tools and is compact. Appears to be as good as the other knives and can't see any problems with it doing what I bought it for. I often get asked what is the best Swiss Army knife to buy, and my answer is always the same: the Victorinox Alox Pioneer X. The reason it’s the best is simple. The Victorinox Alox Pioneer X has the best combination of tools and blades for real-world use. It’s also compact, easy to carry, and built to last a lifetime.Service from HH was again red hot even over this Christmas break and i must mention Royal mail was of equal par too ! It has scissors. It seems like fewer SAKs are being made with scissors these days, and fewer still have good quality scissors that are actually useful. The scissors on the Pioneer X are great for cutting tape, bandages, fishing line, or anything else that requires a precise cut. They’re perfect for removing tags from shirts, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve trimmed my nails with them on more than one occasion. The addition of scissors is very welcome and took about fifty years for Victorinox to catch on to !
