Do any of the Alox models have toothpick/tweezers? Or are they too thin?
Does anyone know if the magnifying glass on the Explorer or Champ is sufficient enough to start fire? It's pretty small.
I got a dried leaf charred and smoking on a moderate Autumn day without too much effort, so I would assume you would be able to start a fire with enough focus.
The saw was a big part of my decision, but I really fell for the red alox scales. Now I have a knife that is classy enough to not be out of place when I'm in a suit, on campus, or at a meeting, but more than tough enough to cut a low hanging limb over the trail when I'm out fourwheeling, help cut up firewood, adjust an old Jeep's carburetor, etc...I carry a Trekker.
But I am curious as to why everyone loves the farmer? Because of the saw?
I keep an original trekker (not the one handed opening one) in my truck and i rucksack in my bag but after getting a farmer the other day it hasnt left my pocket. It will stay in my pocket out in the woods from here on out im bettin..
OH Trekker for me. The larger blade is more useable on a lot of things, and especially so is the longer saw. Pocket space is no problem. Carried by belt hanger, my OHT rides the back seam of a jeans pocket, where it can be totally ignored until needed. Love the Alox, but for outdoor use, yard, woods or afield, this has become my favored knife/multitool
