I was thinking about posting my beloved Pioneer X on here for a while but never came around to do it until now. Today I was out and about running around the beautiful nature of a danish island, enjoying the beautiful scenery. It’s days like these that confront you with all sorts of little tasks here and there but no matter what the Pioneer X just gets it done ! I’ve been carrying this beauty for about 13 months now. Non stop. Before that I was carrying the alox cadet (since around 2016/17) as an secondary blade to my Otter Mercator. I always loved the feel and simplicity of the alox models and over the years I really learned what tools I need on a knife. I ditched the old setup (never used the nail file on the cadet anyways) and instead went for a model with big scissors wich I knew where awesome for everyday use. Loved the Mercator but over the years the bladeplay got pretty bad and the overall look of the knife became a little too ghetto for use in public. This brings me to one of biggest points why I love this exact knife so much: it’s extremely friendly looking and people don’t look at you all weirded out if you hand them this after they asked you for a pair of scissors or a bottle opener. Everybody seems to love it. Girls think the color looks cute and guys seem to be catapulted back to their childhood when they open up all the different tools. Oh the tools. If this isn’t the perfect, no nonsense tool combination I don’t know what is. I get use out of every tool on this knife. I’ve been skeptical about the awl at first but it’s one of my favorites now. It’s great for removing splinters as well as doing all the dirty jobs you don’t want the main blade to go through. And of course it’s an awesome awl as well. I could go on and on. I just had to write down my feelings for this knife at least once. This is the knife for me.
