The Man: It is small and thin, about the size of a pack of gum. But, it is handy, and very sharp. I like it.

Lux Camper: It's old school; no blade lock, but it opens to a hard *snap*, and stays open. Does not close without a good amount of pressure. It is thick as 2 quarters stacked up. Victorinox blade steel is sharp and sturdy. Disappears into my pocket, and doesn't turn sideways. I've tried 4 pocket clip knives of good quality and finally found this super light knife that is perfect for me. I am now a convert to the Victorinox family.

Fluppeteer: I have a couple of these, because they're so thin and light. One lives in a sponge bag for travel (so it goes in my suitcase, not carry-on baggage) because I've needed to open packaging or, occasionally, a knife for eating when in a hotel room. The other goes in my "I might be doing basic DIY or opening packages" pocket pouch, for which a Leatherman or a bigger knife is overkill. It's very thin (for some reason thinner than the Victorinox knives with just the single blade), the alox scales are reasonably grippy (but obviously mean you miss the iffy tweezers and tooth pick you'd get on a red-handled Victorinox), it feels moderately robust.

Against that, the steel isn't exactly premium (it's... okay, and it's stainless, hence the sponge bag usage). It feels like the back spring is a bit of wasted space given deep the knife is compared with the blade - it might have been possible to fit some scissors on the back if the spring was internal. And it's quite strongly sprung either fully open or fully closed; there *is* a half stop, but it's mushy. Which I just proved by having the blade go slightly too far as I was closing it, and then having it snap closed under spring pressure...

GCG3: The Alox version, just two implements, blade and opener/driver. Very compact, slender package, easy on the pocket. The red handle one adds tweezer and toothpick, bit thicker and heavier.
Stainless, easy to keep sharp, and durable. Do your part and it'll last forever. No locking blade, but solid spring action with a "halfway" detente to prevent abrupt closure.
Light enough, it's the one that will be on me when I need it. Really a fine pocket knife and worthy of its considerable reputation.

Sarugumo: One of my favourite SAK’s is the Bantum and I also own the Cellidor version, so when I wanted to try an Alox SAK the Bantum was an obvious choice for me.

The first thing I noticed with this knife is it’s slim profile. I thought the original Bantum was a slim EDC option, but this Alox knife is something else.

It is essentially one layer thick and the textured aluminium scales keep it lightweight and thin.

You get a decent sized blade and a combo bottle/can opener tool with wire stripper and slotted screwdriver tip. And that’s it, there is no set of tweezers or toothpick and no loop to attach this to a keyring or pocket clip.

The rivets seem well profiled, as we’d expect from Victorinox and the overall fit and finish is very good.
It is still impressive how every knife that leaves their factory is so well made, when they make them in such large numbers.

I really like how there is a small blank section on the reverse scale should you wish to engrave something.

I think this would make a great option to add to a pouch or wallet as its slim profile and low weight make it extremely easy to carry and fit in alongside other tools. For...

Amazon customer: This one is the perfect cheap or your only I guess Victorinox Swiss Army knife. The Swiss army 1 (solo alox) is too stiff on the back spring making it hard to open but this bantam alox is much easier to open and is perfect for the price. Nice and slim enough to fit into a wallet. Also it’s more practical than the classic SD alox since it has a decent sized blade compared to that one. Anyways, Victorinox got this one perfectly right for a minimalistic “don’t even know it’s in your pocket” knife. At 26 bucks the price is right. If you are deciding between the solo alox, the classic SD alox, and this bantam alox, this bantam one is the perfect one. Also the aluminum handle is much more sturdy than the red plastic ones that get beat up easily. Victorinox should sell these in target, Walmart and Home Depot because it’s the perfect blend of design and price.

KeplerKepler: C'est la version alox du bantam celidor, le cure-dent et la pince à épiler en moins. Je m'en passerai !
On retrouve une belle lame et cet outil "magique" sur une seule couche. C'est fin, léger et pratique.
Juste prendre garde à ne pas le perdre tant il se fait oublier.
