I know some would argue this isn't even a SAK, for lacking a knife, but there it is.

I almost got it a couple of months back when Amazon had it on sale (around CAD51). I held off, then the price went up a couple of bucks so I didn't get it. Then Prime Day came and I got it for under CAD40 (SRP IS CAD62). I'm so glad I waited.

I agree with Accoutrements on YT that this model needs a key ring, like the Cadet (in photos).

The 3rd photo is with the Cadet and Synergy X.

I almost never need a knife, so I'm looking forward to EDC'ing the Companion Slim often (I have a Rambler with Etsy Plus-LED scales on my keychain so that's covered).

I've been eyeing the Synergy X for a while but couldn't get myself to plunk down the cash. Altitude Sports had a special 15% discount so I finally gave in. I was contemplating on the Companion, but I like the locking blade on the Synergy X. I love the feel in the hand and the scales are lovely.

It's my second Alox SAK (the other Alox in the pic is a Cadet).

I've also been wanting to get a Compact, to replace the one I gave to my brother a couple of years ago. Again, it was just too spendy. Then Amazon brought the price down to ~CAD58 so I finally snagged it. The Rambler was also on sale for ~CAD32 each, so I grabbed two to keep as backups (or gifts).

As usual, in trying to "save" some money, I ended up spending more 🥴
