Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

If you're looking for a classic pocket knife that sits in your pocket and not clipped to the edge, this is it. This multi-tool is ideal for business attire or clothing that won't have a slim profile.

These make excellent gift items and edc knives if like me you work in an office and don’t actually use a heavy duty tool often. Flathead screwdriver, can opener tip works well for phillips head screws.

The cadet is slimmer and more comfortable to carry. Slim and not bulky. Carry it with me everyday in my hitch and timber leather caddy.

Alox costs more than the plastic scales, but for its size this is a masterful design that will show little wear over time. Also in the comparison is an ontario rat 2, and double and triple layer saks.



Cons

The design tolerances on this otherwise outstanding knife cause the nail file blade to scrape and scratch the top of the knife blade when it is opened in the customary fashion.

This knife is made extremely well and from good material.


Quality is excellent, of course, as is true for all saks.


I’ve torture tested it over the last 7 years and it’s never failed me.


A single blade knife doesn't do it for me - i also want the nail file and screwdriver blade.

Price


This is a surprisingly great little knife for the price.


Or a junk knife even since they’re so affordable.


The most bang for the size (and buck!


It's small, thin, light, durable, and relatively inexpensive.

Packaging/appearance


It is a thin package with everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

Competitiveness


For an alternative to this knife, consider the victorinox sportsman, that has the same large blade, nail file, can opener with ...  Read More


The can opener tip works well for phillips head screws.


See my pictures for a comparison to the farmer alox and several other comparable knives.


Also in the comparison is an ontario rat 2, and double and triple layer saks to see the difference there.

    The blade and tools are easy to pull out and the whole package easily disappears in your pocket


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I own the pioneer and farmer x with the scissors but they are both heavier and have thicker blades and do not have a nail filenail cleaner


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I resisted buying the alox cadet for years as i had the sportsman basically the same knife with plastic scales


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I do wish this model had a scissors instead of either the can or bottle opener


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The knife blade is very sharp from the factory and has the usual friction lock typical of the swiss army knife
