    I've got about 20 victorinox tools and one thing that still amazes me the quality control they have. Not one issue, pull is always the same, finish the same, never any play or centering issues or anything. For that level of consistency the price is rather low even on these Alox models. I only carry the 93mm these days and they are probably the best that Victorinox has to offer, very stout feeling and I've never worried about the tool not preforming. Lately ive been carrying the Farmer X and one thing I have to say is that the reamer/awl used on these is the best one found on any multitool plus their scissors are top notch as well for the size.

      I agree with much of what you've commented here. The awl blade is top notch, the consistency in quality is mind blowing. I've said Victorinox are the example for the level of quality control by which all other knife manufacturers should strive.

      I have many Victorinox knives but lately I found out the only way to get the perfect tool is to make it myself. So I took a Pioneer X and a Electrician apart and build my own Victorinox with mainblade, awl, scissors, caplifter and electrician blade. Now it is perfect but it was a lot of work to get it done.

      ​@@Mackle-b3oThats crazy and it will change nothing. I'm living in Switzerland. If it will be the same here I will take out the layer with the blade and exchange it with the saw. Because my custoum knives are all held together with screws and stainless pivots it takes only 10 minutes to get the blade out.

    My EDC is the Swiss Champ, in the front pocket of my jeans. Love it.
    The Swiss Army 7 is my only Alox model, my very first. All SAKs are built to perform excellently, but this Alox model's build quality takes it up another level.
    Congrats on the upload, cheers from tiny little Malta (Europe).

    Very cool tool set on that one! Enjoyed the disco show! Something that I don't think gets mentioned enough is the fact that all tangs are sunken on Victorinox knives without any handle swell like a copperhead. Truly excellent knife design.
