Victorinox's Alox line gives you the robustness of their 3.6” multi-tools while drastically reducing their weight thanks to embossed aluminum scales with anodic oxidation. What you lose in handle-based tools like tweezers and toothpicks, you gain in sleekness that makes them ideal for everyday carry. Among the Alox Swiss Army Knives, the Pioneer X is unique thanks to its pair of scissors, adding much-needed utility when a blade isn't the perfect tool for the job. With eight other tools, it's a perfect pocketable multi-tool to add to any EDC. Pick up a Pioneer X at the link below.

I had a limited edition of it with Damascus blade and I bring it along when I wear a formal suite. Love it very much!

Outstanding quality, it is a true workhorse. I have had mine for several years and it looks as good as the day I purchased it.
