Looks like things are heating up!

I'll have to decide what to do in case if a tie....

For that, I'd say silk. There are some ties made of wool, too, but silk looks best.

I thought about doing one of each what then that doesn't seem fair to whoever would get the other half.

Meh, they are your scales. Make what you wish, and whoever gets the other half will have your twin SAK

Orange looks friendly and is unusual on SAKs, so I would pick the orange scales.

Didn't vote....
And i know this is not going to help at all, but basic factory stock red is the only color for a cellidor SAK for me...  :pommel:

I have a dilemma, If I vote for the Orange and Glowie I am voting against the small chance I could get them myself.
But I definitely think they are the best.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to be satisfied with one of the others. Orange gets my vote.

Black: boring

Orange: not bright enough

Yellow:  too common.

Purple is the color of royalty. Purple  is fun and different.  I vote purple.

I went with black, I like to think of my Compact less as a "work-horse", and more of a "social" knife.  You know, one to have on hand to open a beer, wine, or to help if there's a nail emergency and  trimming/filing is necessary.  The black would be right at home in a formal occasion.  If there ever is such a thing again!

Well, I am calling it!

Results are as follows:

Purple with white cross
5 (11.6%)

Yellow with red cross
15 (34.9%)

Black with glow in the dark cross
7 (16.3%)

Orange with glow in the dark cross
16 (37.2%)

Looks like Orange just beat out Yellow by a very slim margin, with Purple bringing up the rear!

To be honest, if I had a Thunder Purple XE6, I'd have put the purple scales on the Compact and enjoyed my all Purple EDC!  But, I didn't, and now it is time for someone else to get the other three pairs!

It looks like our three random winners are:

Nix

PfrSantos

And...

Jackpine!

Incoming PM guys!

Thanks to everyone for helping me choose- pics to come soon!

Thanks, Def!

My new scales arrived today and were installed on an older Fieldmaster. Brilliant.






I didn't realize they were Plus scales. Love having the pen on board now!    :tu:
