While many of us think of a fixed blade knife when we think of hunting knives, there is certainly a camp of hunters who would disagree; just look at the millions of Buck 110 folding hunting knives sold since 1964. There’s something to be said about the compact size and convenience of a folder, as long as it’s tough enough to withstand regular field use. Victorinox is a company that knows something about building rugged knives designed for the field, since they’ve been making knives for various militaries, most notably the Swiss, but also the German and Dutch, amongst others, for well over 100 years.
While they had a strong history of military and outdoors knives in 2013, they jumped into the hunting market with the first Hunter Pro model, which featured a single one-hand opening blade, a back-lock design, and either orange or black polyamide scales. They followed it up in subsequent years with the silver Alox-handled Hunter Pro M Alox, and a wood-handled model without the one-hand opening feature
Now, for 2019, the latest knife in the Hunter Pro line is the known simply as the Hunter Pro Alox, and it’s a return to the classic red color scheme that Victorinox is so well-known for.
