“Girly” colored knives?

My Isula is pink (nobody "borrowed" it at work), gave the grand daughter a purple openiel (maybe a 6? as a first knife) when teaching her to whittle. Pics to follow later.
 
I know the mermaid one is pretty popular with the female sex, that is if you going budget and under $20.
 
I do understand what you mean about "girly" colored knives... but I guess that at the time we get to live... we should better reffer to "bright colored knives".

I, myself, am a sucker for anything colorful. So I have a Spyderco PM2 with pink G10 handles, an Ontario Rat2 in pink, a KaBar Dozier Hunter D2 in blue, Spyderco PAcific in Green, Spyderhawk in orange, another Military in Orange, a yellow minigriptillian from Benchmade...

Colorful handles take some of the edge of the tool at the eyes of non-knife people. They serve the purpose of being "cute" and also help finding them when misplaced.

My daugther (9 years old) has a Ka-Bar Dozier Hunter with Orange scales and a Mora Safe (blunt point) with green handles. She sometimes struggles with the spring on the lockback. Also, since she bites her nails, has a problem with SAKs in general, unless it is a Soldier or OHT. A recent purchase of mine that she uses, opens and closes with no problem is a Civivi Conspirator (flipper on bearings + button Lock).

While they can operate pretty much any tool, some features that we, adults, take for granted... are not for them. Such as strong springs or anything that requires strong pinching action. Some linner locks might also get tricky.

I suggest you find a knife for her that YOU like (and comes in a variety of colors) and let her choose the color.

I have a kizer swaggs which is quite good.


By the way, for work, when I am using this knife the button lock lets me easily put it away. And so I can put it back in my pocket after every cutting task. Rather than leaving it open or putting it down somewhere.

So with a bit of discipline and training it can be a safe knife.

Not my picture. Years ago, my wife witnessed a car accident with her sisters while travelling home from Lake Tahoe. Somebody asked for a knife to cut a seatbelt. My wife has a pink Victorinox Classic that I sharpened for her, so she knew it would cut the seatbelt, but the guy looked at it and laughed, and said "I mean a real knife." She was mortified. Told me the story when she came home and asked for a pink knife that wouldn't be laughed at. I got her the pink RAT 1 with black coated blade like in the picture. It eventually got stolen, so I got her another one.
 
"Girly" is just a word people often use to mean feminine. And feminine is often associated with prettiness, delicateness, or daintiness. Flowers for example, often considered analogous with femininity, make good use of these positive traits, attracting pollinators. "The times" notwithstanding, I will allow nature and reasonable analogy to shape my use of the word "girly". Two and a half years ago (wow!) I took a couple pics of my mom's collection she'd accumulated from me. And one of them I do not consider girly. But I know that if I had had pink G10 at the time she got the third knife in the picture, she would have asked for that instead of camo G10. I only wish they made pink Suretouch.

I keep one of these in the glovebox of each car, not the pink/dlc version unfortunately though 😁
 
Would these classify ?

Photos - Vintage Artus Flex knife

Recently i obtained several unused Artus Flex knives, and i'm currently experimenting a bit with one of them. All knives came complete with original box, leaflet, spare belt loops & mini-tool (to exchange them) The Rockwell hardness sticker is still on the blade. Specs: Overall...

My daughters asked me if knives come in colors for girls. So I am looking for some “girly” colored knives.
Show us - post up what your wife or daughter EDCs. I need some ideas! 😁

Microtech OTF's come in pink and purple. Heretic I believe also, I know purple for sure. Maybe a pink Heretic Manticore S?

How much do you want to spend?
