What kind of colored alox would you like to see produced?

[ColoSwiss]

There are numerous alox variations of orange and green.

Trying to come up with a color that hasn't been used. Maybe a rusty brown or dark violet.

[toolguy]

White with red shield would look very cool.

[moonweasel]

Why always a solid colour? Take a leaf out of the old school paintball book, and maybe a fade or splash pattern. A bit more towards the extreme end, but you get the idea.

[Storky]

Khaki or matt sandy brown.

Red Alox SAKs are timeless 

But a matt tan or coyote Alox with black shield

I've tried to summarise the replies so far.  These are the counts of colours positively mentioned.  Note this is not a true count of votes since some people metioned a lot of colours and others just one or two, so consider it indicative only.  However if one person mentioned two close variants of the same colour (e.g. my own burgundy or brick red) I've only counted it once.  I apologise if I've missed any.

Blues: 8 (periwinkle, medium blue + red shield, Turquoise, Blue with an orange shield, light blue with old cross, light blue, electric blue, blue)

Reds: 7 (red or standard red x 5, Carmine Red, burgundy or brick red)

Browns: 4 (Khaki or matt sandy brown, autumnal orange/brown, rusty brown, matt tan or coyote + black shield)

Greens: 4 (forest green + red shield, Apocalypse Green, green with a yellow shield, bright green)

Greys: 4 (Petrol Grey, titanium grey, Grey + red cross, darker gray)

Purples: 4 (Purple, purple/violet, deep purple, dark violet)

Bright or zombie colours in general: 3

Mixed colours: 3 (Red/blue, yellow/black, fade or splash pattern)

Silver: 3 (Iridescent silver, Moonlight Silver, Plain silver + old cross)

White: 3 (Snow White, white, White with red shield)

Black: 2 (Black + red shield x 2)

Pink: 2 (Fuchsia, pink/rose)

Yellow: 2 (Lemon Yellow, neon yellow)

Orange: 1

there appear to be a t least a few Marlinspikes/ sacking needles left, because there are limited runs that happen every now and then. Would love to see a decent size run of one of those so I can pick up a knife I wouldn't feel guilty about using for rope work

[ducttapetech]

All Black TiNi.

Thanks! I'm currently working on some mockups of different colors/shades. Something bright blue definitely looks great. Stay tuned!

[BerkshireHunter]

TBH I'm not interested in colors if they cost way more.

Colors I would like:
- light blue
- grey (titanium grey), classy without being boring black
- something really well visible, like neon yellow (like in a neon-marker) or stayglow. <= for this I would pay extra

Neon yellow, stayglow or gold would be cool. Neon green with black shield?

And
I thought I read that one couldn't anodize something white? But it would be nice.

[EDCRunr]

My vote would be brown with a red shield!

[lowtech]

Has Octarine been mentioned?! 

Seriously, I don´t carry or collect Alox really but black always is a good choice, I think. But bright colours, as mentioned, are nice - They really make teh Alox scales look yummy.

I don't know if it is possible (and there are other methods than anodizing). But with something like this they would truly outshine the competition .

It would also be very easy to find when dropped even at night (or during the day), shine a bit UV/blue light around and it will glow.

[shibafu]

Apparently so, but it seems there is a process called Kepla-coat that produces a durable white coating.  That looks like it could be pretty great, if it's not prohibitively expensive.

Syph does make white

[firiki]

Isn't that The Stormtrooper?

[Etherealicer]

IIRC then Syph called the BO Spartans with white cellidor scales Stormtroopers... cut I could be wrong.

[Toolslinger]

How about any colour, as long as it comes with scissors...

Seriously, more variants on tools. I could care less about the fancy colours.

[raistlin65]

I know this isn't what you asked. But I would like to see some special edition Pioneers and Farmers with G10 scales. Something along the lines of the TKC custom scales for Becker and ESEE. Of course, then you couldn't really call them Alox any more.

[raistlin65]

Yes! A Pioneer with another layer added with scissors. Then we could have the great wars over which is better: Pioneer with scissors or Farmer

[Captain Howdy]

Copper or tan pioneer, plain shield (not red), and while your at it bring back the hollow rivet. 

[crackout]

Oh, that's easy.

Black 84mm ribbed with old shield in red.

Here's a quick mockup:

[Aloha]

This thread make me  .  I like all the suggestions and especially the splash idea  .  The sad part tho is the higher price these will most likely be sold at  .  Just flood the market with colored Alox already   

[parman53]

Black beauty ... hands down

It's sakwiki pic, of course

I like the hole through knife so you can run a lanyard through it. I have a 108 Vic like that and it's my favorite because of it.

[Syph007]

Havent they done every color already?

[AimlessWanderer]

Havent they done every color already?

That's why they're thinking of putting scissors in, so they can cycle through them all again 

[SAKdpvdw]

Lots of great selection.  To me, the shield has to stay red and white whatever the scale color.  That being said, I like orange, maybe a deeper burnt orange, as well as some off
Mother unique Greyson that others have mentioned.  Also a white one would look killer.

[shenkie]

Just a quick update everyone: We are trying to make Light blue Alox with orange shield happen!

Nice!

Can I still put in a vote for Danish Blue with red shield? 

[s1xty7]

As someone who has a love of the colors light blue and orange (Gulf Oil SAK?), just show me where the buy button is.  I wonder if my wife would notice 100 of the same knife showing up one day?
