🇨🇭 Victorinox Electrician Alox - A Smart Victorinox Knife ... UNBOXING | Review | Everydaycarry

[@durango8882]

Beautiful. The end.

[@gadgetgus]

Thank you very much 🙏 I am glad you liked the review 😊 Atb Gus 👍

[@Papa-Anvil]

The alox electrician is very underrated. I really like it because of the extra blade. 👍

[@gadgetgus]

💯% I always appreciate good feedback... thanks very much buddy, all the best, Gus 👍

[@BigRedEDC]

Alox looks good in just about any color! My blue Alox Pioneer X is my favorite SAK in my collection! Thanks for the at this one Gus!

[@gadgetgus]

I also like the green, trying to get a SMKW Farmer in Green. The blue, red & the burnt orange 🍊 is gorgeous too! Thanks for your feedback buddy, always appreciated! Atb Gus 👍

[@TheOneInYellow]

Thank you for showcasing proper usage of the electrician's blade (Sheepsfoot-esque)! I'm having a custom Victorinox SAK built for me, based on the Victorinox Cybertool L, but swapping out the saw for the Cybertool Lite's magnifier and light tools, and having hammered titanium plus scales. I'll now go and speak to the store I commissioned my build to swap out the small blade for the Electrician's Blade (from the Electrician Alox)! This is more practical for me as an EDC, whilst my Swisstool X is for strictly home use. Cheers! 🍻

[@gadgetgus]

Thank you, that is very kind of you to say so - much appreciated. I always value good feedback, that custom sounds awesome, cannot wait to hear about it, when it's finished buddy! Atb Gus 👍

[@zerofivetwelve]

From all alox collection i have..this one is my most carry alox. I just love the small blade and i use it a lot.

[@SturleyArt]

Love the shape of that secondary blade, but then I've aways been a fan of a sheepsfoot. Great review.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey buddy 👊 Same here... love the Electrican, such a great value Alox, especially with that Sheepsfoot blade 👌 I need to update that video & others... I will keep the cutting cable test and embed that in the new one 😉 Thanks for watching, Atb Gus👍

[@steveb1972]

I’d like to see the opener layer replaced on more SAKs with the combo opener tool, allowing for another tool.

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Steve 👊🏼 Yes, perhaps on a few more models. However, I often use the bottle/cap lifter as a 'pry bar', so anything less is just not going to cut it. It all depends on your requirements, I guess... Thanks for stopping by, ATB 👍🏼

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I've overlooked this one far too long. You made it easy to add that one to the cart. Agree with the color choice as well for the reasons you mention. Nice review Eagle👀

[@gadgetgus]

Thanks, always appreciate 🙏 good feedback J, Atb Gus 👍

[@MadDrummer100000]

Great knife skills, my friend. Brilliant video as well. Cheers.

[@gadgetgus]

Cheers buddy 🍺 Your kind words are much appreciated 👌 I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it useful 😉 Atb Gus 👍

[@markrichter2053]

Thanks Gus. Another great review and another star knife. 🤩 Yes, we’ve all had’em! I had one in my 20s and gave it away and missed it so much I got one in lockdown and edc it so much when I don’t want to carry a Leatherman on my belt, this is sleek and stylish in my pocket and a joy to use. And I find the functionality matches my demands so well We agree with the 5 stars! 😀 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@gadgetgus]

Mark 👊 I'm glad you enjoyed it, buddy 🍻 Thanks for watching, ATB Gus 👍

[@markrichter2053]

@@gadgetgus hope you’re well Gus and able to enjoy this beautiful winter outdoors a little. I’m not as active these days but when it’s cold and crisp and I’m feeling reasonably well I come alive this time of year

[@gadgetgus]

@markrichter2053 So far, so good... Thanks, Mark, going in & out of hospital for scans, further biopsies or treatment is never the best experience, but I'm just grateful for being alive 🙏 I'm building my strength 💪 up, slowly, but surely... Have a good weekend, ATB Gus 👍

[@markrichter2053]

@@gadgetgus Yes it’s a revelation that life really is precious. 😌 I’m sure lots of other people are glad you’re alive too Gus. Be thinking of you 🙏

[@KnifeDetector]

I love that knife! It’s my go-to quite often . Thanks buddy!

[@gadgetgus]

You know it brother 🌟 Atb Gus 👍

[@spartantkd1970]

I have the Champ. The sharpener is a handy little pen-shaped tool and works well. Great review and background information.

[@gadgetgus]

I hear the Champ & Mini Champ 🏆are good SAK knifes, so looking forward to reviewing those sometime in the future. Thanks for the feedback Kevin... always appreciated ✅ Atb Gus 👍

[@stevenramadhan1575]

Nice to see reviewers who understand very well what they are doing... i'm a fan of victorinox, hopefully in the future there will be more videos about victorinox

[@gadgetgus]

Thanks for the positive feedback Steven, much appreciated buddy. Atb Gus 👍

[@irfanyang7343]

Had no idea this existed until you covered it! Too bad it’s kinda hard to get a hold of where I’m at

[@gadgetgus]

I'm glad you discovered it 👍🏻 Thanks for stopping by, Gus 🍻

[@terrillschneider3778]

I collect TL-29 knives and have thought about that alox electrician Thanks for sharing it with us

[@gadgetgus]

A very good, practical piece, to rotate with your weekly EDC 👌 Thanks for your positive comment & watching buddy, Atb Gus 👍

[@dimitrivos7088]

I couldnt agree more on that we want a saw on it 😂

[@franticflintstone7999]

I have a bunch of SAKs and I like to pair them in my EDC. The Electrician is one of my favorites, and I pair it with the Manager. This gives you the small screwdriver, tweezers, pen, nail file, scissors, and another blade. And it's about the same thickness. I like that the Electrician doesn't have the split ring. I think the awl/reamer is my most used tool on this one, as just an all-round tool. Nice video!

[@gadgetgus]

Cheers 🍻 buddy - great to have you on board! That is a great name 😁 I really appreciate the valued feedback, as it all helps me guide and steer the channel 💪 Thanks for watching, Atb Gus 👍

[@michaelfuxeklint4909]

👍👍

[@gadgetgus]

Cheers 🍻 Thanks for watching Gus 👍🏻

[@Cameron_OKG]

Just wanted to throw my two cents In . I love the Alox knives . all of them , from the Classic to the Farmer X . On a side note . the universal pull scale from 1-10 is all based off the fact that a Victorinox is a consistent 5 . Every time right down the middle of the scale . Great video !

[@gadgetgus]

Thanks, much appreciated 🙏 I enjoy feedback, as it really helps gauge the video. 5 - okay, if that's the universal opinion, I'll try to remember that... glad you liked the video, even though it went on a bit - being 'over tired' and recording at 11pm is never a good idea :) otherwise it would of been sub 10mins 😉 Atb Gus 👍

[@jorgechaves2164]

I agree, this is a very underrated model and is an awesome EDC option, I would love it even more if it had a scissors though. As much as I like the different alox colour options, I only EDC the silver once for the same reasons you mentioned, but it still does not stop me from owning them in other colours for the collection.

[@gadgetgus]

I appreciate your valued feedback my friend 👍 I like the idea of the scissors ✂️ 👌 Thanks for watching Jorge, all the best, Gus 👍

[@Toadonthehill.]

Great tool there. I only have the smallest model in this range but it is useful and doesn’t scare anyone 👍.

[@gadgetgus]

Absolutely 💯 Hope your well buddy, Atb Gus 👍

[@Toadonthehill.]

@@gadgetgus thanks brother, I have been poorly again but am on the bend. Live the dream 👍

[@name5949]

Your right about the colour because I've got a few in different colers and in time it slowly whers in but the silver farmer x is my favourite because the can opener has a fantastic driver on the end so i think the farmer x is the best to date because the better for the poickit edc then the hunsman you might have a few extra tools like the scale tools but i think the alox is a much stronger allrander then those red handle Swiss army knives even though i still love the red classic Swiss army knives i think the farmer 🚜X is a very strang multi tool for day to day use ☺👍

[@thehitman5211]

Pioneer alox is my favorite. Just remove the key ring and you got a soldier 😁

[@gadgetgus]

Exactly right! ✅ Thanks for watching buddy, Atb Gus 👍

[@Blue_3rd]

What a great knife. If it had scissors it would be perfect, or if that electrician’s blade were on the Pioneer X :) Cheers!

[@gadgetgus]

Hey buddy 👊 Agreed, it's definitely one of my favs, and for me, the best value Alox 👌 They did have an electrician Duo, which included the hawkbill blade and the Duo+ which featured the saw blade. I need to update this video, as it's a bit dated compared to my newer content... 😉 Thanks for watching, ATB Gus 👍

[@knifecharlatan8912]

I hope you listened to ghost neck and got the harvester. It's fantastic, but I need an electrician to round it out. Good video

[@gadgetgus]

Thanks buddy, really appreciate the feedback 👍

[@Careoran]

nice knife, my favorite Alox right now is probably the FARMER X ALOX

[@gadgetgus]

Hi Careoran, thanks for your comment buddy- the Farmer is also a great EDC and one I really like too, but for £28 (AT HH) the Electrician is hard to beat for value... Atb Gus 👍

[@gerhardras4766]

At the moment, mini champ alox silver. I am about to pull the trigger on the farmer X.

[@gadgetgus]

I hear that, would like to review the mini-champ & the Farmer... sometime soon, atb Gus 👍

[@randomreviewz2628]

Is the Alox any slimmer than the traditional plastic scales?

[@simonh6371]

Yes I can confirm that since I own a Hiker (celidor/plastic scales) and a Farmer, both have 3 layers with the middle layer being a saw. The Hiker is 16.6mm thick whereas the Farmer (alox) is 14mm thick. If you take a Farmer with an extra layer, the Farmer X which adds scissors, the thickness is 17mm so you can more or less consider the alox models to be a layer slimmer than their celidor counterparts. Other advantages of alox are slightly stronger backsprings, slightly larger, thicker and deeper main blade, steel liners rather than aluminium, and obviously the more durable scales in alox as opposed to plastic, plus if you're getting a 93mm Pioneer-based alox the inline reamer/awl is a fair bit more capable than the backtool awl you find on celidor models. Only drawback of course is you don't get scale tools like toothpick, tweezers or pen. I often carry my Farmer together with a 58mm Classic SD which takes up next to no space, giving me the best of both worlds, the small scissors are still very capable within their size limitations.

[@gadgetgus]

Yes, it certainly is overall, however at the same time you lose the functionality of the tweezers, toothpick, pen etc.. depending on the model you have... Hope that helps buddy, All the best, Gus 👍

[@stickydizzler]

First time watcher, great vid. However you seem to have stolen the late great Shaun Locke's voice!.

[@gadgetgus]

That's interesting... I'm going to have to compare now 😉 Anyway, I always really appreciate positive feedback. Also, I value any ideas you may have, which I always shall consider, as this helps me 'steer' the channel. Atb Gus 👍

[@archieballantine]

Pity it doesn't have a small Phillips, esp when wiring plugs. It's great being able to strip the wires but then you have to go looking for a screwdriver!

[@gadgetgus]

Hey Archie 👊 Agreed, that would be nice, though we can just about use the 2.5/3mm slotted driver on a No.2 Pozi - it's not ideal... Thanks for stopping by, ATB Gus 👍

[@archieballantine]

@@gadgetgusthey should have used the combo tool on the electrician.

[@erso3302]

I've always considered it a large pen blade.

[@gadgetgus]

Yes, it is... I see that, but to me its also a 'spear point' - it all depends on people's interpretation... If I got 3 people to go to the woods 🌳🌲 and got them to stand in a line... and asked them to pick up what's on the ground - the answers would be: 1. Soil 2. Dirt 3 Earth ... it's the same thing, but people's perceptions are different, which is cool, as that is what makes us all unique 😉 Atb Gus 👍
