When I got into sharp things about a year ago, foliage green was really kicking off (proud EDC'er of a soon to be discontinued foliage green fully serrated endura). Digicamo has had a good run especially with the Spyderco Military and some special scales on the XM-18's.
Black on black has certainly been a staple for numerous years.
Recently it has been all about orange, BRIGHT orange (again seen on the military and countless others) Also, orange seems to be a popular aftermarket mod color. So what's next?
Yellow? Blue? Or will the makers return to other materials such as titanium and carbon fiber which have always looked sweet.
What do you all say?
 
I have noticed a few who take the FRN handles off of the trainers and switch them with the scales on endura's and delica's.
Anyone else?
 
My new Bark River Bravo Necker is bright, fire-engine red. :thumbup: With black and red linen micarta scales.
 
Orange is great, let's keep that going for a bit longer.

Next, white that stays clean looking.
 
i definitely prefer bright mono-colored materials the most. yellow, orange, and red, sometimes blue. i also like straight black. but i was never interested in metal, cf, multi layer g10, or shades of green/tan/brown etc etc. to each his own
 
As much as I love bright colours I have always preferred muted tones. Black, ash grey, desert tan foliage green etc. on my users. I had a few pinks that I sold off cause I couldn't bring myself to carry them... The orange millitary is the only one I have right now that is in a bright colour. Oddly more and more I've been eyeing those bright key lime bones on Case knives. I'm sure the purists will scoff at those but I'm still tossing the idea around as it will be my first traditional...
 
I like burnt orange and yellow. If you drop your knife in the woods at least you have a ghost of a chance of finding it....

Cobalt blue would be nice too.
 
I still like the muted tones also. Grey, black, desert tan, etc.
I'd like to see more grey colored grips. Not flashy, but that's what I like.
 
The Kershaw Chive and Leek in that rainbow effect was the prettiest knife I think I've ever seen. I tend to go with a muted green or brown on my personal stuff but I'd like to see some neon green come out. The orange and red just doesnt appeal to me but lime green?..yea I'd go for that! Good thoughts fellas.
