Question 1

How does this compare to the cadet?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What can I use electrician blade for being I am not an electrician?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Does it have the key ring?

Accepted Answer

This one does not have a key ring.

Question 4

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?

Accepted Answer

No, absolutely not. The Electrician should never be used on live circuits.
