If I were to get a Cadet. Which I don't need. Would I get an Orange, Blue or Black one?

If you will use it a lot then the silver ones will show the least wear on the scales.

Otherwise, they are all nice.

Some great looking collections there! :tu:

As for what color, I'm partial to blue and orange. So you need to get several and decide for yourself.  :D

You can't go wrong with any of them, but I'm partial to the black ones. Particularly the Danish black one with the red shield (have it in my pocket as I write this).

As far as what is easily available at a normal price, all I've seen lately are the black, red, and silver ones on ebay. Everything else seems to be more rare and discontinued. If you can find one, the olive greens are nice as well.

Cinnamon Brown and solid green Lumberjacks. Believe both were from SwissBianco.

Very nice collection NSA!
What is the difference between the top and middle row black ones? I see both have a keyring attachment?
BTW: You are missing the non-keyring black one  :D

Holy Crap dude!!!   :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Man, that is one EPIC collection.

I made it my goal earlier in my collecting days to get one of each of the standard (ie, solid) colors of the cellidor.  I know have them all except for the SilverTech (clear translucent) and the StayGlow.  I'm still trying to make up my mind mentally if that's 'color' or a different type of scale material such as Rosewood or a special metal or horn. 

Lately I've been thinking of trying to get all the alox colors too, but part of the problem is figure out what colors are out there.  I figured around 10-15... I might be thinking a little low there.

Anyone wanna help compile a list of Alox colors?

Starting with nsa-x-files pic we have:

1. White?
2. Silver
3. Red
4. Black
5. Black (Are these blacks different shade or is it just black shield vs. white shield?)
6. Blue
7. Dark Blue?
8. Gunmetal Blue
9. Green?
10. Dark Green
11. Dark Green (Same question as before... different color or just different shield?)
12. Olive Green
13. Purple
14. Purple?  Are these different?
15. Yellow
16. Copper
17. Autumn Orange
18. Orange

19. ??  On the second row, fifth on in: Is that a different shade of green? 
20. ?? Not sure of this color's name

Now we'll add in MWDP's shades of orange:

Standard Orange (#18)
21. limited edition 2012 orange
--autumn orange (#17)
22. Swissbianco sunset orange,
--standard copper (#16),
--Swissbianco copper - Looks like this is the same color as copper, just a shield change.
