Review: Best Knife of the Alox Series - Pic is wrong on the desertcart thumbnail. It’s of a solo / single blade. This is a 4 blade tool. I borrowed my son's scout knife. I needed a can opener. I thought- “I want a Swiss Army Knife”. So I got the Electrician. I’ll explain. The Alox Electrician is an ideal pocket knife / multi tool. Only 2 sections thick, so it is thinner than you think. Disappears in pocket. My first SAK and first Alox I've ever held. Aluminum is extremely durable compared to plastic handle / scales on typical knives from Vic. Main blade is much thicker than normal SAK, very sturdy. It’s also on a bevel cut which you can see in the pics. Allows the bottle opener to be thick. BTW. the bottle opener is best I've used on a knife. Thick screwdriver, serves as a limited pry tool. Love the 90 degree lock on screwdriver. Wish all blades did that on knife (safety). Awl is very useful / tough blade. The awl is the best desertcart Box opener ever devised. Don’t ruin your good blades on tape. The aw is a rt angle stamped part for strength (pic). Sort of a lawn mower blade. Best blade is electrician. Short and handy sheep’s foot blade w a circular cut out to strip insulation. It takes the place of the can opener on the standard Pioneer/ original design. Makes the knife very unique. I’ll gladly give up can opener to have that every day. I'll use my son's can opener when I need one! Maybe I need a pioneer too. It becomes a problem. Nothing you don’t need. So easy to carry. Wish they made colors. This is the most practical knife of the series because of ease of carry and short blade. I’ve owned 2 as I lost one.
Review: All of the essentials and only the essentials - Forever, I believed that the last knife I would ever want or need would be a Victorinox SAK (Swiss Army Knife). I've gone through many different "phases" in my pocket knife-toting life, from slipjoint pocket knives to tactical, assisted-open knives. I've worked my way through all kinds of different steels from 1095 carbon, to S30V super stainless. When a co-worker and I got to talking about Victorinox, I immediately dismissed the entire brand. I thought I needed a "better" steel. I didn't want all of the "junk" that came with a standard SAK. Then I came across the Electrician. It has everything you need and nothing you don't. The combination of the sheepsfoot blade, reamer (or punch) and the silver alox scales are what originally drew me in. The more I thought about it, the more I HAD to have it, so I placed an order. 2 days later, it showed up on my doorstep and wow, was I impressed. It was perfect. The fit & finish are excellent and the size is just right. It's only about 7/16" thick and it really disappears into your pocket. The silver alox (as apposed to the standard red plastic) is nice and thin and I love that it looks different than a "normal" SAK. The main blade is just what you'd expect, but the sheepsfoot blade and the reamer are what really sets this little knife apart from the rest. The 420HC stainless steel that Victorinox uses is really good enough for anyone. I use my DMT diamond diafolds & benchstones on all of my knives with much success and the Electrician is no different. It sharpens easily, maintains an edge for long enough. I never let it get too dull before I resharpen it. I'm very happy with it overall and find it as a great addition to my EDC lineup.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to the cadet?**
A: The Swiss Army Alox Cadet is smaller and lighter than The Swiss Army Alox Electrician. The Cadet has a fingernail file and The Electrician does not. On The Electrician they replace the can opener/small screwdriver with an electrician’s blade. The Electrician does not have a key ring lug to attach a lanyard. IMHO, The Cadet is a more useful EDC (Every Day Carry) multipurpose tool knife. It’s small enough to disappear in your pocket and it’s rugged enough for an urban EDC. Usually, The Cadet costs a little less than The Electrician. The Cadet has a can opener tool where The Electrician does not. The can opener on The Cadet also has a small screwdriver on the can opener. The Cadet comes in different colors, but carrying the ones with the colorized Alox handles in a pocket full of keys, coins etc., will wear away the color. The silver ones are better for serious EDC carry. You won’t go wrong with either one, but I favor The Cadet.

**Q: What can I use electrician blade for being I am not an electrician?**
A: I am not an electrician either. I found the 2 blades on the electrican are perfect for (you guessed it Amazon packages). Just what I need.  The knife seems to have a better build quality than the regular red SAK. I like the Alox finish. It is now my everyday carry pocket knife.

**Q: Does it have the key ring?**
A: This one does not have a key ring.

**Q: Is the electrician sak built in a way that eliminates/mitigates the risk of electrocution or shock if it comes in contact with “live”/energized wires?**
A: No, absolutely not. The Electrician should never be used on live circuits.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid knife, classy look.
*by A***. on July 27, 2012*

Upon first opening this knife, I was pleasantly surprised as to how sturdy this pocket knife is. Both the aluminum casing and the stainless steel blades feel expensive and built to last. The difference between this knife and my other Victorinox SAKs (which all have the cellidor plastic handles) is that I can carry this around the same pocket as keys without getting any scratches on it; the red plastic handles scratch extremely easily. However, the sturdiness does have a cost: I found the tools/blades in this knife harder to pull out than with other knives; however, a bit of lubricant and this should be a non-issue. Even though the alox knives cost more than their plastic counterparts (and may not have the bottom set of tools), the premium look and feel of the knives is worth the cost in my opinion. One last note: the Victorinox Electrician does not have a keyring (both good and bad). It is beneficial if you like to keep your SAK in your pocket as a standalone item, since the lack of keyring makes the knife's shape considerably more comfortable to keep in your pocket. However, if you must have a keyring, then this is probably not the right model for you. I like this knife quite a bit, and it has replaced my old Victorinox Sportsman as my every day carry knife.
