Hey all.
I’m looking at getting a knife to add to my EDC setup. I just got a new flipper knife that I really like and I’d rather not use it as my daily chore knife as it’s a big bladed frame lock. Some people might not love knives as much as we do if they’d happen to see me with it out doing something it was intended to do.
I’ve pretty much decided to get a SAK of some type. One feature I want on it is scissors. I think it would be very handy.
In the ALOX I like the Pioneer X and the Farmer X. The thing is I cannot figure out whether I actually need or will use the saw blade on the Farmer X. Anyone else ever had this dilemma?
Then I happen upon the EVO Grip models. Aren’t they slightly smaller in length than the ALOX models?
There are a couple of them that look really nice like the EvoGrip S18, the bright yellow one. This too has a saw blade, I think.
I haven’t read much at all about the EVO Grip models and how well they hold up. How do they compare to the ALOX models with the same features?
What concerns me about the saw blade is the thickness and extra weight that accessories add to the knife. After all, I’m gonna be carrying it daily and I don’t want it to be uncomfortable.
What’s your thoughts? Go with the saw blade or no? If you have one on your EDC SAK, how often have you used it?
Lastly, how about some advice regarding the EVO Grip knives? Are they just as good as the ALOX knives? Is one going to be more comfy to carry than the other?
Which ALOX would you recommend? If you were going with an EvoGrip, which one of those would you go with as your daily use knife?
Thank you for your time and any help you care to give me. I appreciate you all taking the time to help me.
