Buying a lot of black blades lately (with pics)

Yeah, I was tempted to mock the all black tactical thing, too, but then I noticed that I had myself been purchasing a number of black bladed knives. My gateway knife? The Zero Tolerance 0300 blackwash. Wait. Maybe it was the black Zero Tolerance 0777 M390. Initially, I thought a black knife blade only marginally better than say a pink one. But, I found I really liked the contrast between the black blade and the mirror polished cutting edge. No idea why, just one of those weird things you find out later in life. Then I found that blackwashed 0300. That things looks awesome! Not because I'm going to disembowel a terrorist at a preschool (we don't get any terrorists up here in Engineering, they tend to work on the floor. :) ), but because it has the look of a long-use patina. Sort of. That and the 0300 is a magnificent knife!

well, if i ever get a black blade, it'll probably be the zt 200. i just can't fit that monster into my regular schedule. i don't even carry the militaries that often, and they're my favorites. also, i do not as yet have a foolproof way to sharpen a recurve neatly without scratching the rest of the blade.

Actually deer do not see the color orange, it appears as a shade of gray to them so in effect you are in camo as far as the deer are concerned.

Exactly my point, you could hunt in a clown suit and it wouldn't make a difference to the deer.
