In late autumn 2013 Victorinox produced 100 sets of two bicolor Alox knives. The set consists of a Solo and a Pioneer. Both models have the same scale colors. A blue frontscale and an orange backscale. These are the colors of a bird called “Kingfisher”.
A little blue Kingfisher and the name “Kingfisher” is printed on the engraving panel of each knife. Each knife is serial numbered on the backside of the blade.
This overview shows 22 Alox special run released by Victorinox in 2012. It’s part three of a serie of four posts. It shows only special run ordered by individuals. Production quantity per edition varies between 36 to 150 pieces. (Editions ordered by Swissbianco are not listed.)

In October 2010 Victorinox released a new Alox model. The Wilderness. It was the first time this model was build. It has a large blade, a woodsaw and a small pruning blade.
It comes in two scale colors. 100 pieces with black scales and 50 pieces with orange scales. Both editions feature black-coating on all tools.
In January 2012 two additional editions of the Wilderness were released. This time without the black-coating. One edition with gold and the other with lila scales. Each knife is serial numbered 50/nn.
A lime-green Wilderness without serial number was released in 2014 for a Chinese knife forum. This edition consisted of 80 pieces.
This overview shows 21 Alox special run released by Victorinox in 2013. It’s part four of a serie of four posts. It shows only special run ordered by individuals. Production quantity per edition varies between 36 to 150 pieces. (Editions ordered by Swissbianco are not listed.)
