Between about 2009 and 2015 a Chinese SAK forum ordered a few Alox special run from Victorinox.
There are some info gaps in my list below. So if you have any info about these please let me know. Pictures are from the ones I own.

Year Model Color Quantity Numbered Remarks
? Rambler light blue 130 no no engraving
? Harvester red 100 yes blade etching
? Rancher red 300 no no engraving
? Rancher gold 300 no no engraving
? Harvester orange, red shield 80 no no engraving
? Solo turquoise 100 yes no engraving
2013 Sea Pioneer blue 180 no blade etching
2014 Wilderness lime-green 80 no no engraving
2015 Pioneer silver 50 no blade etching
2015 Farmer petrol blue ? no no engraving

The red Harvester is numbered. But it seems the engraver was drunk. The number on my knife is 001/072 but it is supposed to be 072/100.

The orange Harvester has a different shade of orange. It’s darker than the Naranja orange and the standard orange from Solo.

Alox Rancher with scissors

One of my favorite Alox models is the Rancher. I like the pruning blade, but I miss the scissors. But hey, no problem let’s add one. And because you can never have to many Alox knives, I’ve made a few. The first one in the pictures is my current EDC.

My first mods have the original scissors backspring from a 91mm knife. It works perfectly, but looks a bit odd because of the gap.

After a few tries I figured out how to improve it. A Solo’s backspring fits perfectly and looks nicer. Now my Alox with scissors have also a beautiful back.
