My rotation schedule didn't assign me an all-metal knife this week, so I'll go (again) with my retirement Alox Solo that I carry literally every day, independent of my schedule.

When did they change the cross, go to a solid rivet on the caplifter/screwdriver and punch end, and add the tab for a split ring?

Steve, aren't the differences you point out the differences between the army-issued Soldier (José's knife) and the civilian Pioneer (your knife)?

I honestly have no idea.
I "thought" thet they were both a Forester.
Sorry.

Many thanks, Steve.

This Electrician is the first Alox SAK I ever had (thanks, Greg). It infected me with an incurable case of Alox Pox.

Please Forgive me.
IMHO yours is ever so much better looking than the 'EL BARAKA' model I have.

That might be because I have had it only about a month or so. It has become my almost-daily carry, but it still looks pretty good. I strop it, carry it in a leather slip (which should cause some surface color changes on the handle), use it in the barn constantly, cut food, stir drinks, pop open bottles, open boxes, and on and on. It's still looking almost new. I will continue to post pics and we can watch it age.

EL BARAKA lacks the nifty blade etch ... which probably vanishes with patina anyway.

I do carry the EL BARAKA quite a bit. On days I don't carry it, I have it within reach, clipped to the rollator.
