VictorinoxFarmer X Alox Swiss Army Knife 10 Function Swiss Made Pocket Knife with Large Blade, Wood Saw, Bottle Opener and Reamer - Silver

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.

I love this knife. I am a land surveyor and have been carrying it in my pocket at work every day for the past two weeks. The saw and scissors are most useful, though I have literally used every tool, even the leather punch to hold a tape measure (DBH) in place. A bit heavy but the variety of tools is worth it. Has a great walk and talk (ease of opening) as the knife enthusiasts say

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.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

I own over 50 Swiss Army Knives. This one finally checks all the boxes in terms of what I personally find useful.93 mm makes the tools bigger and beefier and the Alox scales make the entire tool way stronger.If the traditional Red plastic scaled Swiss Army Knife looks and feels too much like a toy, then choose an Alox model.These things are built like tanks and you'll understand what I mean the moment you pick it up.The tool selection is perfect in my opinion because it gives you everything you'd need working in the outdoors.Big Blade, Saw, Large pair of Scissors, Can and Bottle openers, Screw Drivers that fit both Flat and Phillips screws.Lastly the Awl. This thing is awesome. Puts holes in plastic, wood, aluminum, you name it.So you have a tool for every type of cutting.Blade for general cutting tasks. Saw for cross cutting. Scissors for more detailed cutting.The Awl is good for creating lanyard or lashing holes or whatever you might need at the time.And the Bottle Opener makes a awesome light use prying tool.The best part is there's not a tool here that's essentially useless. Like the corkscrew or hook on other models.Carry a 58mm Classic or Rambler model in the pocket and have the Farmer X as a belt pouch Knife.Recommended!

The Victorinox Farmer has long been a favorite of the outdoors community due to its durable Alox scales, its saw, and its beefier blade than the Camper or Huntsman. But, like the Huntsman's scissors makes it so much more desirable than the Camper, so too the scissors adds value to the Farmer, turning it into the Farmer X. Any wilderness backpacker or camper would be well served with the Farmer X.

It's Victorinox, what else is there to say...pinnacle of quality

I collect knives and did not have the Farmer X in the classic silver ALOX verson, so I bought this model. The knife is a perfect EDC multitool because it has a very sharp knife, a large scissors, and a big saw, just to name some of the more premium elements of this heavy duty SAC. Compared to a regular plastic scale Victorinox SAK, the knife on an Alox (aluminum scaled SAK) is more heavy duty/thicker than a regular Victorinox Swiss Army knife. What I didn't appreciate was this knife arrived in a crushed silver SAK box. Thankfully the knife was okay but I store my knives in their original boxes and this one is pretty much on its last leg. I have no idea what the seller is doing with these SAKS to have them arrive in such a beat up condition. FYI, I've ordered about 15 Victorinox Swiss Army Knives through Amazon and none of the original SAK boxes were busted open and lopsided like the one I received, which I why I am subtracting one star from my review. I do not recommend buying this knife as a gift because the SAK box will probably be mutilated like mine.
