What color scales should I use?
on: August 19, 2021, 10:36:16 PM
I am embarrassed to say that some time ago I misplaced my beloved yellow Compact, and it has taken me a while to replace it.  Now I have a replacement Compact, and, more importantly an opportunity to use these 3D printed scales sent me a while ago to test.

But, as you can see, I have a few choices- do I go with yellow again?  Purple to really stand out?  Orange for high visibility?  Or black so I can open wine like a ninja?

I'm throwing myself at your mercy- pick a color for my new EDC Compact, and, when the dust settles, I'll pick three of you who voted and each of those people will get one of the unchosen sets!

How's that for a fun contest?

BTW, get in fast, as this is only going to run for 3 days because I REALLY wanting to start carrying this knife ASAP!   :ahhh

Well I say go with the purple and make a Barney Compact. Bound to stand out so you don't lose this compact, and yellow didn't help last time.
