Farmer X Alox Swiss Army Knife - 10 Function Pocket Tool, Silver | Swiss Made Stainless Steel Multi-Tool with Wood Saw, Scissors, Large Blade, Reamer, Bottle Opener and Durable Alox Scales

Beautiful. Solidly built. Blades are sharp. My favorite tool is the punch/ reamer. These are more stout than your standard swiss army knife. The texturing is incredibly comfortable in the hand.

I have a number of Swiss Army knives. I first started carrying them when I was in the military. In a division headquarters, you're much more likely to need scissors, a can opener, a screwdriver for your eyeglasses and a toothpick much more then you're likely to need a giant blade. The Alox Farmer X goes the Alox Pioneer one better by including a small saw blade. You won't want to try to build a log cabin using this little saw, but it can come in handy for a myriad of uses. The aluminum Alox scales adds rigidity to the knife that plastic scales cannot match. The knife is still compact enough to fit into any pocket; I love the North Face Skagway pants as they include a "knife pocket" inside the right pants pocket; all men's trousers should have a similar pocket. That's where my Swiss Army knife goes; it's deep enough that the knife won't fall out--unless you're doing somersaults--and not so deep that it's hard to fish out. If you want a Swiss Army knife capable of doing any job you'd reasonably expect to need a knife for, this is your knife. It doesn't have all the "bells & whistles" of some of the bigger Swiss Army knives, but it doesn't carry their weight or price tag, either. Come to think of it, in all of my years in the military, I never had a need for any of those extra "bells & whistles" in any event. This knife should be in every man's pocket and every woman's purse--highly recommended.

Just a perfect quality

i bought this knife to give as a gift to someone who works with horticulture. The selection was based on my experience with the Pioneer X model, which is identical except that the Pioneer X is 3 layer and has no saw. The Farmer X is four layer and includes the saw. The Pioneer X has been an excellent knife with sturdier blades than the familiar red Swiss knife models. The Pioneer X is about as heavy a pocket knife as I want to carry, and this one weighs a half ounce more. I have tried this Farmer X in my pocket, and I don't feel any significant difference between it and the Pioneer X. I am using a Keysmart Nano suspension clip for the Pioneer X, and am also giving a clip as part of gift Farmer X. I don't need or want a saw, but for those that do, this is a very good design. I bought the Pioneer X because I use scissors in a SAK (Swiss Army Knife) more than I use a blade. The scissors have valuable horticulture application too. Other general comments based on my experience with the Pioneer X is that it's very durable. The different awl design is more useful to me than the standard awl found on models like the Huntsman or Swiss Champ. I think Victorinox has really created a winner here for urban and suburban everyday carry. Here is how I carry pocket knives: 1) Pioneer X for urban, suburban, and general walking around in the woods and while fishing. 2) Swisschamp in the wilderness. 3) A small Classic in one of my tackle boxes. I used to use it for everyday carry, but wanted larger blade and scissors. 4) I tried Leatherman style tools, but never liked them. I'm in the blade camp, not the pliers camp.

A bit bulky but has all the features that want/need. I have other SAKs for specific needs but this is my new primary EDC knife. I took the tweezers out of an old SAK and stashed them under the saw and added a pocket clip that hangs the knife on the key chain.

The Victorinox Farmer X Alox is a compact knife and a great value and has number features that will take care of a variety of tasks. The blade is sharp and able to satisfy different daily needs.

now the box it came in not so much but then you're likely to toss that once opened. however, gotten far cheaper and less well made tools in far more presentable boxes. this is one of victorinoxs' top offerings that checks a lot of "boxes" (solid, usable tools) without questionable added weight. every knife lover should have one.

This is an excellent pocket knife for man or woman. It is very well made and has a variety of tools and functions to assist in urban life or on the trail. I can’t see anyone being disappointed with this knife. It is as gorgeous as it is functional. It is very slightly larger than many other Swiss Army Knives and has tighter backsprings and a thicker knife blade and screwdriver. It is absolutely stout. I put a suspension clip on mine so it doesn’t fall to the bottom of the pocket. My usual edc is the Handyman model which has more tools on it, but I am a bit of an SAK collector so I had to have an Alox in my stable. If they ever were to make the Handyman with the aluminum Alox scales, that would be the perfect pocket knife, in my opinion. Don’t hesitate on this one, I give it a strong buy. If you are gifting it know there is a space for engraving if you desire. You won’t go wrong with this pocket knife.

Excelente y muy resistente

Always good

A beautifully made little multi tool. Alox scales, four layer. Tools are : One thicker than usual main blade, saw, scissors, bottle opener prybar/screwdriver, can opener/philips head screwdriver, awl. Should give a lifetime of use. I carry mmine everywhere.

O produto é de excelente qualidade, assim como todos os outros produtos da Victorinox O canivete Farmer X, é bastante robusto e muito bem projetado para as minhas necessidades cotidianas. Faço apenas uma ressalva quanto as embalagens dos produtos e deixo a minha sugestão para que a fabricante Victorinox após o controle de qualidade final, inclua um lacre de segurança em todas as embalagens com seus produtos, dando assim uma maior confiabilidade e segurança aos compradores, independentemente de onde o produto esteja sendo vendido.
