Farmer X

[Dangerously]

I know it’ll be thick, but suspended from a clip may not be that bad in the pocket. Might wait for a red one.

Who else is in?

Looking forward to it!

The farmer x may be a bit too large for me but it’s really exciting to see Victorinox making new alox models. Hopefully the trend will continue.

 

[yablanowitz]

I wonder where they got that idea?

 

[Pomsbz]

An alox usually has a one layer thinner profile than the equivalent cellidor model. As such you're getting a Huntsman for the thickness of a Camper. That's a good package!

I am waiting for colors.. Silver just don't do it.. I have been looking at the Farmer for a while and the scissors just put it on top!!

I’m pretty committed to the huntsman pattern, because of the scale tools. I will definitely pick up a couple of Farmer X sfo in different colors though.

This is my dream SAK

I think hikers may find this SAK variation very useful. I think that it's a good idea.

Does this make the Farmer X a 4-layer SAK? Three is about my limit and I will only carry a 3-layer inside a bag of some sort such as hiking.

Yep.. 4 it is..

I'm not excited. I seldom use the saw and when I do I like the 111mm version. I'd prefer a Cadet X.

It will be a 4 layer Alox, which will make it about the same thickness overall as the 3 layer Celidor Climber. I wanted the Phillips driver on mine, so it ended up being 5 layers.

I've got a couple Farmer's in my packs but I *always* have a small Cellidor scaled SAK in my pocket no matter what else I may be carrying in the other (or in a pack as the case may be). I simply cannot do without the tweezers and toothpick!

I've had my red Farmer with scissors for many years. I can't remember what I paid for the mod, but I'm thinking it was north of $100 plus the doner knife. It is my edc for when I leave the house. While it's my favorite pocket knife, I've had some regrets in that I tend to baby it more than my other SAKs because it was irreplaceable. I'm glad to see a factory version.

While it is obviously thicker, that extra thickness feels good in the hand. For me (a lefty,) the lanyard hole thingie doesn't dig into my hand when using it. (I've filed the thingie off on my standard Farmer.)
For what it's worth, my standard Farmer weighs 3.06 oz. My Farmer with scissors is 3.7 ounces.

Sounds like you might have to wait for a limited edition release down the road a bit like they do with the Pioneers. These new things keep the knife hobby rolling!

Granted, it was 2008 when I bought my pair of Farmers but they were $16.88 each shipped from Amazon. Just sayin'...

 

[Scott Free]

I don't remember the year, but I think I paid $14 from Amazon (or maybe it was QVC.) In any case, those were not normal prices for that knife. They were special runs made for at least one of those two companies.
