Anybody have an orange g10 Spitfire?

I struck out using search. And Google. And Bing. We all know the pics on Buck's website are not always representative. Anybody have a pic of an orange G10 Spitfire?

Thanks. I saw that. I think its just a pic from Buck's website. I would like to see a pic of an actual one in the flesh if anybody has one. If I decide to order a custom it will either have green or orange G10. I saw some pics of a green one Makael posted, but haven't found an orange. Not a big deal in any event. I'll either go green or order orange on spec. Or just think about

Ok, I just wanted to be certain and will keep an eye out on the Net.

I know I would like the OD green...so I ordered the orange
Find out if I like it in 8 weeks or so

Satin blade? Your last pic looks to be a good rendition of what to expect. Quite lovely.

Thanks!
Yeah I went with the satin. The black blade actually looked spectacular in the rendition. I don't have anything against coated blades. Given my typical use, I doubt I would notice a difference in performance, but all other things equal, I tend to go for uncoated blades. Off the top of my head, I can only think of two knives I have with coated blades.
I'll take pics in a couple of months

All good things come to those that wait........patiently? Waiting on a custom 119, so I am right there with ya.

Will it have orange G10 and a satin blade?

 

[matthewtstock]

It will not. However, an orange handled, satin bladed, 119 sounds like a good idea for November BOTM.

I ordered a S30V satin blade, no fuller, with a Blue Wood handle. Ordered 01/17/21. Hopefully, I am about half way through my wait.

Should have mentioned that I did order the s35vn steel.

If it didnt have that hump on the blade I'd a ordered one when they first came out. I really like the handle shape but just cant get ove thr hump, i have no doubt it is very functional, but... A hole like the vantage would be good.

Admittedly, its not the most aesthetically pleasing. I do like the jimping on it. Good place to rest the thumb.

Not fond of thumb rises either. I wonder if a 285 Bantam blade would fit that handle?

The Canadian version got rid of the hole, but kept the hump. Guess you could file it down.

kinda like that. I dont mind the humps, but yep cut down would also look good.

 

[st8yd]

That would work but it would cut into the BUCK stamp.
