Victorinox Pioneer Alox

24 Jul 2025 · EDC Pocket Knife

I love a pocket knife. I've got quite a collection of them. Mrs T bought me my first Victorinox way back in 2000. Since then the slope was slippery and steep!
I picked this one up from amazon (boo) during the prime day sale, it was a tenner cheaper than everywhere else.
It came in a little box, with the usual instruction leaflet describing the tools on it.
I put some sort of lanyard on all my SAKs, this one is no exception, it's got a bright green paracord lanyard with two diamond landard knots to make it easy to get out of a pocket.
I normally burn my name and purchase date into the scales, these are made of metal, so I've not been able to do that with this one, there is a smooth patch on the back, maybe I'll engrave it in the future.

Tools

The knife has 5 tools.
1 - 63mm blade. Sharp as you need something to be right out of the box
2 - Victorinox wonder scissors.
3 - Pokey tool.
4 - Can opener with small flathead driver.
5 - Bottle opener with standard flathead driver.

Carry

It weighs about 100gr with the lanyard. It's 95mm long, 29mm wide & 15mm deep.
The lanyard is 160mm long, the first knot sits about 40mm from the end of the knife and the second sits 20mm from the end of the lanyard.
