Victorinox Alox Pioneer X knife vs Alox Farmer knife, What’s the difference?

[@normanjohnson2548]

Farmer X. Best of both in one knife.

[@satinsangel1688]

That's what I picked up, for this exact reason! 😅

Not really, it's just fatter with a pointless saw. Pioneer X all day IMO.

I've had my Pioneer X for a few years and i've been really impressed with it except for one thing: the alox scales. They just doesn't feel as secure in my hand as the celador scales do. The felt really slippery when I first got the Pioneer, but over time we have gotten more comfortable with each other.

They are great tools to carry and use. Many thanks my friend 👍

Pioneer X's are awesome. I have a black one a 2022 L.E. grey one and the 2022 Winter Magic with the snow flakes on it.

[@steveg.1502]

Those are really good knives. I like Alox, but it can be addicting! 👍

[@stevesinclair4159]

I love the Pioneer Alox series and have 7 Pioneer X's, 4 I use in my EDC rotation - one blue, one red, one LE2021 tiger orange & one LE 2023 electric yellow, plus I have 3 unused as collectables - the 2021 LE tiger orange, the 2022 LE thunder grey & the 2023 electric yellow. I skipped on buying the Farmer and went straight to the Farmer X and have two, one silver and one black. I would like Victorinox to make lock blade thumb stud opening Alox 93mm & 111mm models now that they have made the new 136mm Evoke Alox hunter range which I consider too big for comfortable EDC carry & far too costly at $120 each when you can buy the classic Buck 110 folding hunter for around $60 & put a $5-10 thumb stud on it.

They are great Steve! Super addictive because they have great quality for both users and collectors alike 👍 The Farmer X is a gem of a user configuration. Use in great health sir.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

I agree about the price, but, do you really think Buck is the same quality as Victorinox ??

[@stevesinclair4159]

@@edwardfletcher7790 I have 4 Bucks (a 110 folding hunter, 112 ranger, 110 hunter LT & 112 ranger SS), they are top quality & will outlast me.

Both great knives. I bought the Farmer first, then went for the Farmer X when it came out a couple of years ago as I figured the extra thickness was minimal, and honestly the Farmer X didn't cost much more than the Pioneer X, both cost more than double what I paid for the Farmer. However it is a bit of a brick in the pocket. I still carry it sometimes but I'm also finding that the Farmer carried together with the 74mm alox Moneyclip is a nice combo, it gives me a secondary small blade and a nailfile with a point on it which can be used on those tiny Phillips screws.

[@steeleuphoria]

Sounds like a great carry combo 👍 Kindest thanks for watching
