About this deal
This happened because the normal grip covers the release, so slamming down on the blade to drive it through the wood causes it to fold. That’s a bit of a conundrum. The knife has a 4-inch blade, making it illegal to carry in many cities (our home base of Denver included).
Victorinox Hunter Pro Alox in red - 0.9415.20
Released last week in the U.S., Victorinox gives the Hunter Pro Knife a new wrap with its proprietary Alox scales.

The go-to tool for dressing game on your hunting expeditions.” Victorinox makes its intentions clear in its description for the Hunter Pro knife. The folding knife was designed for hunters with a large 4-inch blade. And while the Alox scales feel great in the hand and provide a svelte look, when it’s rainy or wet outside, the knife becomes slippery. But again, Victorinox doesn’t describe the blade as a bushcraft knife. And the brand also doesn’t say it’s for hunting. The blade is the same found on the Hunter Pro without Alox. Victorinox calls it stainless steel, without giving away too many details about the steel itself. But we’ve used Swiss Army knives before and find the steel very tough and exceptionally corrosion resistant. Yet its similarity to the brand’s hunting knife, the Hunter Pro, and its size make us question its urban aesthetic. Hunter Pro Alox: Who It’s For
The Alox finish provides nice feel in the hand, although we wouldn’t love it when wet. But that’s OK — Victorinox Swiss Army clearly isn’t marketing the Alox as a hunting knife. Instead, as the brand notes, it’s “perfect for everyday adventures in the great outdoors or the city.”
