Yes it been asked before but ....

What's your favourite SAK colour (excluding alox) and if you could have a SAK in a non-standard colour what would it be?

Probably black, but if I could make my own own, it would be black with hot rod flames.

I like the sapphire scales.  Black is nice too--very formal looking.  I don't really care for the onyx scales, however.

I carried a black huntsman for ages and it does look very slick, but I've been carrying Gareth's red climber for a good while now and the colour's grown on me ( -but I'll ask my doctor about that...)

So my faves are:

Black
Red
red/black evo
yellow/black evo

in no particular order.

If I could have any colour... hmmm. A bright stripey one would be cool! Or an icy teal colour

Green no doubt about it.



I'm also a fan of the deep ruby red translucent though, and I'll be the first to admit that I didn't look twice at them until I had a set in my hands.  Pictures never do them justice IMO.

I totally agree with seeing the ruby in person. I too never thought much of ruby until I got my first one, and it's stunning. My second favorite color. My #1 is Blue Alox.

What is this I see?  A Brit-asked question with no poll?  :twak:  :ahhh

 :D  So yes, my vote is for:
58mm - ruby
74mm - black
84mm - Cowprint :3
91mm - onyx (would be StayGlo if it came as Plus scales)
111mm - dual density green/black

What's your favourite SAK colour (excluding alox) and if you could have a SAK in a non-standard colour what would it be?

Excluding Alox...........anything but RED!

I love red as a color and prefer it on many things, but one thing I have gotten utterly sick of is the solid red scales on SAK's. Don't mind the Ruby Red transparent ones but red cellidor I go out of my way not to buy.

D) All of the above. I can honestly say Vic has not made a single color I am not in love with. I suppose Sapphire and Onxy are higher than say red (I agree with Neil on the familiarity thing), but every time I personally behold a new color I am conflicted.

FWIW, I have never carried anything but the traditional red- someday I'll grow up and stop being the 12 year old MacGyver copycat who wouldn't carry anything Mac didn't :P

I suppose I should add that one of the reasons I ask is that I can never decide  ::)  The SAKs I use and carry the most are red, black and sapphire but I wouldn't particularly say they are favourites.

Here's a list of the colours I'm aware of in 91mm...

Red, ruby, black, onyx, white, silvertech, blue, sapphire, green, emerald, stayglow, yellow, camo.  I'm ignoring the fancy pants, wood, horn, silver etc.

Have I missed any?   :think:

I know that over the years the red has changed in shade slightly and that some of the old eco line had a brighter red scale.  There's also an older white that is a warmer shade than the current scales.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.
