Alox Solo Electrician and Pruner

english see below…

Diese neuen Alox Modelle wurden 2019 von Victorinox hergestellt.
Das Solo Pruner ist ein Modell, welches bisher nur selten als Werbemesser mit den alten Aloxschalen hergestellt wurde. Nun wurde es kürzlich als Werbemesser in gold für Bugnard hergestellt.
Später wurde es auch mit silbernen Schalen (ohne Werbung) für einen Schweizer Händler in kleiner Auflage (100 Stk.) produziert.
Dieser hat ebenfalls das Alox Solo Elektriker mit den neuen silbernen Schalen bestellt.

These new Alox models were manufactured by Victorinox in 2019.
The Solo Pruner is a model that has rarely been produced before as an advertising knife with the old Alox scales. Now it was recently made as a promotional knife in gold for Bugnard.
Later, it was also produced with silver scales (without advertisement) for a Swiss dealer in small number (100). He also ordered the Alox Solo Electrician with the new silver scales.

Ende 2015 erschien ein bicolor Alox-Set bestehend aus einem Harvester in petrolblau-grau und einem Bantam in den vertauschten Farben. Die Auflage beträgt 100 Stück. Die Messer sind nicht nummeriert und haben einen Aufdruck auf der Rückseite Swisscarp.

In 2015 Victorinox released a bicolor Aloxset of 100 pieces. It consists of a Harvester in petrolblue-gray and a Bantam with exchanged colors. The backside engraving panel shows a two color print Swisscarp.

Mitte 2016 erschien ein weiteres bicolor Alox-Set mit dem Aufdruck Swisscarp. Auch hier wurden 100 Stück hergestellt. Das Set besteht aus einem Elektriker in grün-braun und einem Pruner in den gewechselten Farben. Auf der Klinge ist eine Ätzung mit einem Karpfen zu sehen. Die Messer sind auf der Klingenrückseite nummeriert nn/100. Die Gravur stammt nicht von Victorinox.
Dieses sind vermutlich die letzten Bicolor Alox Messer. Denn danach hat Victorinox entschieden, dass sie künftig keine bicolor Alox Aufträge mehr annehmen werden. Vielleicht produziert Victorinox irgendwann selber mal eine zweifarbige Limited Edition. Wir sind gespannt!

Mid 2016 another bicolor Aloxset with Swisscarp print was produced. This time it consists of an Electrician in green-brown and a Pruner in exchanged colors. The blade shows an etched carp. The knives are numbered on blade’s backside nn/100. But this engraving was not made by Victorinox.
This was probably the last bicolor Alox. Victorinox decided to stop the production of bicolor Alox as well as special color Alox, except for their own yearly Limited Editions and collaborations with other companies. Let’s see what will come!

Electrician DUO orange

A new Alox model. It’s an Electrician DUO in orange. This tool combination is unique and it’s the first time Victorinox released this model. Basically it’s an Electrician but instaed of the awl this model carries a pruning blade. This model is the littel brother of the Electrician DUO plus released in 2011. It has a ring with an attached lanyard. Each knife is individually numbered on the electrician’s blade.

This special run comes in two color variants.
50 pieces have a red shield, a red arrow on the backside and a red lanyard attached to the ring.
The other 50 pieces have a black logo, a black arrow on the backside and a black lanyard attached to the ring.

Color comparison:

The orange color used for this Electrician DUO is a bit different from the orange used for other Alox. It’s similar to the shade of the orange Wilderness with black tools from 2010. It’s darker than the Electrician with red shield from 2012, but lighter than the Electrician’s Mate or the Electrician DUO plus.  See last pictures.

Electrician’s Mate

This brandnew Victorinox Alox knife is a new model with a blade combination, which was never produced before. I call it Electrician’s Mate. It’s basically a First Mate with electrician’s blade instead of the pruning blade or if you like, it’s an Electrician plus with marlinspike instead of the awl.
Electricians Mate orange and blue
The knife was produced in two colors. Blue and orange.
Electricians Mate blue-orange back
The blue shade of the frontscale is pretty like the standard blue shade used for some other Alox models, while the blue color of the backside scale is a bit darker. The difference of the shades is not big, but you can see it.
Electricians Mate blue colors
The blue knife fits into the blue marlinspike serie. The orange one fits into the yellow/orange serie of Electrician models with the black arrow on the back.

This special run includes 50 pieces in blue and 50 pieces in orange and is made by Victorinox in January 2013. Both knives have a serial number engraved. The blue one on the mainblade and the orange one on the Electrician’s blade, exactly like the other knives from the two mentioned series.
