What Color would you like?
on: April 01, 2008, 02:03:49 AM
I understand many manufacturers and companies read our stuff here ( )
So I'm asking you all; if you could have any handle/scale color now, what would it be?
I'm hoping they will see this and give us want we want ;)

I like "ORANGE" for it's visibility. For knives, MTs, and any outdoor tool.

Orange, yellow or a bright blue would be of interest to me.  I like high visibility stuff for camping and kayaking.

The orange-black combination is indeed a good look. 8)


Seems like Gerber did a combo like that years ago.

In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Depends on what it's for. EDC a polished surface would be nice, but ourdoor I'd like high reflective yellow, like the type of paint used on those highway side markers.

I'd like neon green unless there is a brighter color that would show up better if it was left laying on the ground.

natural scales are sure perdy! I agree (and expensive!)

but it seems the man made stuff is getting better and better, as expected.
the only color I've seen on regular sized MTs are black and camo and I wonder why?
both very low visibility, as in, "where is it?!"

To be honest, I like standard SS or BO for EDC tools, but I like the idea of having bright orange or yellow for rescue type tools.

I miss having wood and bone scales like on the older knives .
I agree completely. It gave them a bit more character than most new ones. I realize they're expensive and thick (handles), but I'd sure love to see them again. :cry: By the way, has anyone seen CRKT's new knife scale material in person? It suposed to be something like bowling ball material- man made but light, strong, and prety. Looks nice in the pictures anyway. :)

I would have to go with orange.  I am an orange kind of Guy.  Since I was a young boy I wanted anything orange.

I will post a pic if I get the chance but a company in NY sells coatings for firearms in Orange(hunter orange), Neon Pink, Birght Red, etc...  I wonder if the same kit would work on MT's?  I might have to go out and buy a cheap leatherman and buy a kit and let yall know.
