A very nice bicolor Alox Pioneer without ring from Victorinox. It has a red front scale and a black backside scale. The contours of the logo and the cross are black instead of silver.

The main blade carries an etching with multiple lines of “Deutschland” and “Germany”. The engraving panel on the backside scale shows a German flag and the name DEUTSCHLAND. It’s a three color print in white, red and gold.

It’s a limited special run of 50 pieces. Each knife has a serial number and the year engraved on the backside of the main blade.

A green Alox Pioneer with red shield is the new special run made by Victorinox in March 2013. This special run counts 50 numbered pieces. It fits perfectly together with the green red shielded Cadet and Bantam from Denmark, which are described in my last post.

Victorinox Alox shield variations

Untill about 1999 Victorinox used a plain silver cross as logo on their Alox knives. In 2000 Victorinox changed to a new logo. It’s a curved wappen shield with silver contour with a silver cross in a red area.

Old-new logo

Since then Victorinox produces their standard Alox model palette with silver Alox scales with the silver/red shield logo shown in the picture above. A few years ago Victorinox started producing Alox knives in many different colors. Most of these knives are special runs produced in a small quantity. Usually 50 – 100 pieces per run. They are produced mainly for collectors and knife enthusiasts.

The form of the Victorinox logo remains the same, but there are a few color variantions. Most of these special runs have the logo with silver contours and silver cross but the shield inside has the same color as the scales.

Different colors

A US dealer (*) ordered some limited runs with a logo in the same color as the scales.

Unicolor shield

In January 2012 Victorinox produced the first time an Alox special run with black scales with the silver logo with red shield. Since then a few other colored Alox knives were produced with the silver logo with red area.

Another variation is a silver knive with a silver logo with grey contours.

Pioneer and Cadet silver

In January 2013 Victorinox produced a few Alox models for a US dealer with copper color scales. These knives have a new logo color variation. The shield’s contour and cross have the same copper color as the scales and the shield inside is red.

Copper red

I’m curious if there will be another shield color variation in the future.
