Victorinox Swiss Army 1 Alox Medium Pocket Knife with Scales, Silver

The Vic Solo (No. 1) is a great size for a single blade pocket knife. The 93 mm alox knives have a thicker blade than the Celador models making them very sturdy knives, and the blade is a good length for lots of cutting tasks. Despite being thin the Solo is not too thin, still retaining enough thickness to be comfortable to grip and safe to hold. Still, it is thin and light enough to be unnoticeable in your pocket. I think the backspring on the 93 mm models is also a bit heavier than the Celador models, but it's not hard to open, and it snaps open and shut with that satisfying Victorinox click. I can even pinch it open if I really try. I have a Fieldmaster for all those random cutting, sawing, prying, opening, and scissoring tasks and plan to keep my Solo relatively "clean" for use mainly on food. So far in its first day it has performed well for slicing strawberries, peaches, and sourdough bread, and I can tell the blade is long enough to handle cantaloupe and pineapple, too.

This is a very well done, very thin, very well built pocket knife. Absolutely perfect for carrying in a wallet easily for any small daily task that may come up. No unnecessary extra goofy tools here. Just a simple single well done blade that will do just about anything you need to do without being a Rambo. Classy and useful little piece. Jeans or slacks. Wallet or purse. It’s all good .

Knife quality: Chose this particular pocket knife for a mini survival kit. Friend always keeps breath mints with her, so all items were chosen to fit inside an Altoids box. Has just one sharp, fairly large blade of quality stainless steel. No scissors, screwdriver assortment, or corkscrew in case you find an unopened bottle of wine while lost in the woods. Grip is also attractive stainless steel with grippy surface. See photo.

Almost perfect but, I'll still give it 5 stars. It still gets 5 stars because of the build quality. It is phenomenal. The quality is what you can expect from Victorinox. I am a huge edc guy and purchased this to rotate with my Case 6220 as a backup to whatever knife I'm carrying. This piece is simple, practical, and just a beautiful piece in my opinion. There is no blade play whatsoever and it is smooth when deploying. The main reason I say it's almost perfect is because of the factory edge. It was not up to my expectations but, it only took a little bit of effort on my part to sharpen it. I like my blades sharp! I "test" for sharpness by its ability to cut through paper or shave hair right off my arm. It's an excellent tool and it will definitely be seeing a lot of pocket time.

This is a very solid useful knife. Thin in the pocket and the perfect size

I love this knife! Perfect size for everyday carry. Blade is super sharp. Very handy ! I just wish I could keep from losing them! I should buy them in bulk! I think this is my fourth one! I have several Victorinox knives and love them all!!!

There are plenty of good reviews here. I’ll focus mine on the single stack SAK 1 model here, vs the 2-3 stack models. I’ve owned the 2&3 stack. This is my first single. Big fan of Alox SAK line. I like this knife a lot. I’ll start by saying I like the 2 layer electrician best, but I lost it. Ive been carrying a 3 layer Pioneer X which is a fantastic multi tool. This is the larger knife in the pictures. It feels like a brick in your pocket compared to the single layer. The beauty of this knife is that it disappears in you pocket. It’s worth buying just for that. It also will not freak out someone who does not carry a knife because it’s hardly tactical and kinda “pretty”. You can’t feel it at all. It’s really (almost too) thin. To me the 2 layer feels best in hand for use. This single layer is for light duty cutting. It does not have a grip to press hard. I used to put out (a lot) of pine straw and it did an excellent job. Easy to see silver color when you leave it open in the next bale. Maybe I won’t loose it. Easy to clean with one blade (simple is good) My only gripe. It’s a SAK. It has one tool, duh it’s supposed to. There is a spot for a second tool on the opposite side of the blade . This defeats the “solo” idea, but why not make a model with an opener or a punch, or scissors on the opposite side??? I’d buy that one. The punch is perfect for opening boxes. This model has a unique curved spring. The blade also seems unique in that it’s straight, not beveled. Adding a second tool means you use existing SAK parts. Put liners on it fatten it up a bit. It would feel better and weigh nothing. Build one with a short blade and scissors and call it the TSA. It would sell to travelers. This is a nice looking knife with the curved spring. It’s an awesome value and a practical, easy to carry tool. Get one and support our Swiss friends. Pioneer X is going in a bag.

Love this little knife. I carry it every day.

Il Victorinox della serie Alox è un coltello di pregevolissima fattura. Vi spiego il perchè: Caratteristiche: Nello specifico questo è coltellino della serie Alox è un mono funzione, infatti dispone solamente di una lama lunga. Ha un peso complessivo di circa 45 grammi. A differenza di un Multi-funzione Victorinox le guancette laterali non sono in plastica colorata ma in metallo, precisamente in alluminio, grazie al processo di “anodizzazione” rende il coltellino più resistente agli urti e alla corrosione. La lama è di altissima qualità, interamente in acciaio e affilata in maniera certosino Il prezzo: La qualità si paga. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è, a mio parere, conveniente. Infatti con una spesa per nulla eccessiva si ha tra le mani un oggetto funzionale, professionale, utile e anche esteticamente molto bello. Conclusioni: Victorinox è un azienda leader da più di un secolo nel mondo della coltelleria. I coltellini sono addirittura garantiti a vita. Io, personalmente, li utilizzo da molti anni e posseggo svariati modelli, tutti di pregevole fattura e molto duraturi nel tempo. La qualità di taglio è senza pari, le lame sono affilatissime e difficilmente si perde l'affilatura. Molto elegante anche nell'aspetto e sopratutto molto comodo da avere in tasca grazie alla sua forma sottile ed il peso contenuto. Un oggetto da avere sempre in tasca per ogni evenienza. Lo consiglio.

Parfait dans la poche car très discret Top qualité victorinox oblige. Un blocage puissant lame ouverte.

What a great device, simple, easy and a quality blade. It has one purpose, and it does a perfectly I highly recommend. Also, it’s very sharp out of the box.

Navaja de buena calidad

Razor sharp 6.3cm blade This knife really feels indestructible, the most durable knife i ever had. Thanks to Amazon many swiss army knifes are very affordable this is one of my 8 Victorinoxes Its simple, but a great build, made of two part alox (aluminium) handles, spring, 3 rivets and the famous blade. The spring is so tough it will not allow to close the blade on your fingers and it needs a lot more force to close the blade than on any other standard pen knifes, so that makes it a great alternative to a lock knife. The grip is not as good as on the big 108mm Solo knife, but still a lot better than the polished standard plastic handles. What i am not happy about is the fact that for this knife there is no belt pouch specifically designed and no key ring or lanyard hole on it, so it can get easy lost. Anyway for this funny price a Victorinox? (12quid at the time i got it) it was so hard to believe that i just had to buy it. Higly recommended. Update - now i use this knife as a backup and keep it in my survival emergency kit knife is an essential tool and a pen knife is better than nothing and it fits in most survival, emergency and 1st aid kits. If you want more than a single blade, go for the Victorinox Farmer, same quality, same durability, but more useful tools for just couple more quid.
