Alox Cadet plus with firesteel

The Alox Cadet is a 84mm knife made by Victorinox. It has a mainblade, nailfile, cap lifter, can opener and keyring. It’s a nice little knife for every day carry. But I wanted to make it even more usefull and suitable for outdoor activities. Therefore I added a wood saw and a steel striker to it. Now it’s a traditional flint and steel striker knife you can use to start a fire.

The steel striker is made by Mr. Fischlin. He also made the steel strikers for the 93mm Alox soldiers which were produced by Victorinox in 1996 – 2002.

I did two pieces. One with standard silver scales and one with black scales.

Farmer in gold with scissors

I like scissors on my knives and I like Alox knives. I like Alox knives with scissors. But Victorinox doesn’t produce 93mm Alox with scissors.

I took a Farmer and a Climber, dismantled both knives, took a pair of golden Alox scales and mounted all together again. And because my drill press didn’t as I wanted and scratched the golden backside scale, I used another frontscale for the backside of the knife.

The final result is shown in the photo slider below.
