Any "Slime Green" Traditionals?

This might seem like a bit of an odd question, but is anyone aware of any traditional folders with something approaching "slime green" covers? One popular online Case vendor has a few exclusive "Alpine Green Synthetic" patterns, but it's not quite the green I'm looking for. I also believe one of the Chinese brands (might have been Rough Rider) offered some "zombie green" editions at one point, but I'm not quite sure and can't locate much online.

I might also be interested in something less bright green if it was a glow-in-the-dark material, which I think may have been offered by one of the smaller US manufactures in the past, though I don't know which one - possibly GEC?

Thanks in advance!
 
GEC makes knives in nifebrite sometimes, which is a glow in the dark material that looks white to slime green in daylight, I'd say.
 
Case at one point not too long ago made some pocket knives in "Toxxin Green" Kirinite. Not currently in production but gives you something to Google for to see if any are still for sale here and there.
 
Victorinox has done a few.

I've got a CASE Mini Trapper in a very virulent green algae colour jigged bone, I think it was called Sour Apple, looks all the worse for being in natural material too ;):D

You can always but a white bone knife with brass pins&liners and watch the verdigris fester:eek::cool:
 
Rough Rider Zombie Nick series.
I know there is a (large 4 inch closed) Sunfish, Canoe, and full size Trapper left in the series. I am not sure if there are still any others.
The (large) Sunfish that 5K Qs 5K Qs pictured above, rides quite nice in the pocket, by the way.
Even in light weight suit slacks, it does it "print" in your pocket.

It is also a great knife. (Yes, I have one) I highly recommend it. :)

I don't have one, but maybe the Rough Rider "MOON GLOW" series would come close? (At least when charged up)
 
There's a Rough Rider series boasting the name Luck of the Irish, rather than Emerald it looks pretty vile green to my eye, plus the kitschy ornamentation and whole leprechaun theme ;):eek:

Can't say I like the hue of the bottom knife;) but love that pattern, sunk-joints and Spear/ Pruner, very cool. What model is it and is it one or two springs? Got to find a less bright one :D

Thanks, Will

These look pretty good. Wish they still made some of the other patterns, though. Do you happen to know if the trapper is closer to what Case would call a Mini Trapper, or a standard full-sized one?

That Zombie Nick trapper is a full-sized 4 1/8" closed. (Looks like it's out of stock at the big TN knife store that owns Rough Ryder, but the trapper and large toenail were both available at a couple of my other go-to RR dealers.)

Thanks for these photos! What are the official names for these? I'm thinking one might be Lime Green, and one looks like Green Apple, and of course there's the John Deer.

Yes, you're correct - first two are lime green.
