...Why yes, it is for me. End of discussion. I'm also getting a trainer for it so I can train a few people with the Byrd Meadowlarks I give people, I'm a fixed blade guy but have to latch onto a good folder for versatility and to give people options when they ask for my logical, legally rational input. But enough of why the Delica, here is the big dilemma.

This...

...or this?

Your links aren't working. :)

But between the pink and purple, I would have to go with purple. Its the color of ancient royalty, and it at least retains a modicum of manliness. Though not much. Honestly, you can't carry a pink knife.

:thumbup:
 
I don't get it. Are you asking for our thoughts on what color we think you should like better? :confused:

You like pink? Get pink.
You like purple? Get purple.

There you go.

But I think he just came in here to announce to us that he's getting himself a "girly colored" knife. Whoop-dee-doo :rolleyes:
 
...Yeah, that's partly it. I'd never waste time trolling a great forum like this, but I was indeed curious about how different forums would consider the two color options for a male. There's no joke about this, though, I really am buying one and am stumped between the two colors with equal preference for both. I already EDC a pink Izula and have for a year now, I'm actually comfortable with either.
 
I like the pink better. I don't carry a pink knife, but I own several. The purple is too unsaturated for my tastes. The pink really pops! :)

People ask for logical input from a dude who needs help deciding which color he likes better? :confused:


Knifestyle...You like green the best.

I think it's nasty. But it's your favorite.

Sorry, I couldn't stop laughing...Mean maybe, either way still funny :D

I have both the Pink and the Purple Delica and love them both and yes, I do carry both from time to time. The pink will get more attention.
 
For the most gender-neutral color, get a white knife. They're fairly rare, and both men and women look good carrying them. ;)

So you came here for a "manly" check???

Real man picks what he likes 'cause he don't give a crap about what anybody else thinks! Man up, dude! :thumbup:
 
The humor also is a motivator...It's not that I'm decision-disabled, I'm just in the typical position a guy would be facing two colors that he's naturally pretty indifferent to. I'm going with a bizarre color because I'm simply a bit weird, work with a large population that has been fine with a pink Izula, have had knives stolen before and it was always the 'tough' looking ones, it's easy to spot, and simply gets a laugh. Also, it does factor into self defense territory slightly with how a tool should appear to the jury...Hence the input part, I like to set an example by not going mall ninja.

Props to the better jokes so far, definitely gave me a chuckle. No man-check needed, I'm just trying to kill a slow afternoon with some forum humor about an easy to shoot topic. I really am stumped between the two. Also, the Delica is simply a great knife, in any shade.

The pink delica is more difficult to find while the purple is fairly easy to find. Buy a pink one now (if you can find one) and the purple later.
 
Pink, definitely. It looks cool, and if it makes an attacker laugh, you have an advantage. A man secure enough to carry a pink Delica is more manly than the many who would not dare to.
