Nice array there José

I'v just got an Alox Pruner, like the single-spring slimness, do you have any coloured Alox Pruners?

Thanks, Will

Thanks, Will, yes in this photo the blues and the red with advertising (Vessaz), are Pruners.

Well thought out mods Jack! Vic needs a designer with your tool selection savvy.

Thank you. Of the 200+ Swiss Army knives I own, those are the two I carry.

Great EDC’s. Do you have any Ti variants? Most of my Ti SAKs are screwed together which lets me move stuff around. This improves the ability to customize. I’m thinking of anodizing some of the Ti handles to add a little color and improve the scratch resistance.

No titanium. Mine are all made from original Victorinox parts (except the copper scales on one Scientist) obtained by taking apart used SAKs.

Decided to carry my humble Classic today. Still very useful after more than 20 years and new scales. Love this little guy.

What model? Are the pliers a quick tell? (Too lazy to do the work.)

Looks like a Deluxe Climber.
I've never seen one before.

Instant colour and character to a too shiny alox Vic Farmer. Take a Sharpie (colour of choice) colour in, wipe vigorously, polish away excess with Dremel polishing attachment.

That looks good, Mark! :thumbsup:

I may try that, although I don't have a Dremel so I'll have to improvise on the "polish away excess".

Yeah you should be okay with that. I used a mid green on mine. Just Enough to take away that rather bland too new appearance.

My latest acquisition. I wanted a mod so I settled on a Compact as the foundation. Killed the corkscrew and injected an awl into the backside. Able to keep the knife 2 layers and a slim profile. So far, the hook is ok but I'm weighing my options with that thing. The scales and liner are titanium and the copper cross is inlaid. Workmanship is very nice.

Nifty. I think I've seen that done with nail polish as well.
