Hard to say – the ‘medium’ range stretches from the Swiss Champ Damast which packs 29 tools (including pliers), down to the Excelsior that simply has two knife blades. They mention that the blade is easy to keep sharp, and the scissors are very sharp, reliable, and precise as you'd expect from a multitool that is so versatile. The new Pioneer X Alox Limited Edition 2023 features tough anodised and embossed aluminium scales in a zingy electric yellow colourway.

So in 2017 I believe the pioneer X was offered , the model here with scissors that so ,so many wanted ? And you’ll find them all in the same beautifully designed, remarkably durable and exceptionally resilient package that so many people have come to love. stainless’ steel alloyed with chromium and molybdenum that resists corrosion well, yet also has a degree of carbon content so holds an edge quite well while still being easily sharpened. Most people will be pocket carrying these knives or using one of the well made Victorinox leather or cordura belt worn pouches.

This is about the maximum comfortable diameter that is reasonably within the capabilities of this two and seven-eighths inch (74mm) long blade, though you could push it a little and I have heard of some people successfully working round five inch diameter logs with this saw. Despite being too large to be hung with keys, if they are carried this way, this will wear the scales even quicker.

Since our inception back in 1897, when Karl Elsener developed the ‘Original Army Knife,’ we’ve grown into a globally trusted brand offering functionality, innovation, iconic design and uncompromising quality standards. I haven’t yet reviewed the Ranger Mike, there is a comparison blog on this knife and the Camper in the pipeline.In 2015 Victorinox announced that, for the first time ever, they would be bringing out an alox 93mm Swiss Army Knife with scissors.

Victorinox is a global family-run company that is now being managed by a member of the family’s fourth generation.I am a big fan of Victorinox scissors, they are well engineered, perform great and I find them extremely useful in and EDC knife, the addition of the scissors to the Pioneer is most welcome.
