Fave EDC in Blue Green and Orange ?

[6.5BR]

Looking for pics of knives with blue, orange, or green handles - natural or synthetic. Fixed or folders.

Include make/model, any other details if you don't mind.

Getting ideas for my next purchase. Thanks in advance.

Anyone want to share?

This is my Bradford Guardian3, M390 blade with black/blue G10 handles and a Nimbus blade finish. It's the only brightly-coloured handled knife I have. I picked out the handles, grind, and finish myself, and they look smashing if I do say so myself.

A few in blue... all a little customized:



Benchmade Griptillian 551 with blue G10 scales from Deathofallthings and the clip from a 710-1401

Benchmade Ritter Griptillian with carbon fiber and blue Ctek scales (also from DOAT) and a titanium deep carry clip. My picture didn't turn out so great, so you really can't see the blue Ctek very well at all.

Benchmade 950 Rift. The scales started as black and gray G10. I dyed them blue and black using Rit fabric dye. Also has a ti deep carry clip

if you do a quick search or look through the first few pages of general knife discussion there is an entire thread dedicated to orange knives.

I'm not really sure what your price range is, but if you're willing to hunt down some rarer models, I'm actually a fan of blue-handled knives.

First choice is hands-down the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 with blue G-10 and M390 steel. The blue is pretty bright - some people don't like it and it's often jokingly referred to as "smurf blue" - but I think it's a great color on a great EDC knife. Unfortunately, they were a limited run that's not currently available and you'll have to deal with secondary market pricing on them. Not a lot of fun.

Pics:

You'll notice there's also a dark forest green PM2 in those pics, another limited run, but maybe a bit easier to find at a somewhat reasonable price than the blue (CTS-204P steel in the green). And there was an orange version, as well (CTS-XHP steel) - I don't own one of them (though I would like to).


The PM2 is easily my top choice, but there's also a version of the Spyderco Domino out in CTS-204P steel with the same "smurf blue" G10 as the PM2. I just picked one of those up, and it seems quite nice - if you like flippers might be worth a look. Only a cruddy pic on this one, sorry:

If you like traditional folders, Great Eastern Cutlery has made some really nice patterns with blue camel bone, usually available through KnivesShipFree (in fact, I think I got an email from them today or yesterday about a new model in, and that's one of the options). The stain patterns on all of them are different and Derrick does a great job of taking individual shots of each one - you can pick how much white/blue color balance and what pattern you want yourself. I like a darker blue, and I like the #48 pattern - so I picked up one of these Hawthornes a while back:

Other blue/green/orange models worth noting:

Spyderco Delica and Endura come in blue, green, orange, and dark green - wonderful, lightweight modern lockbacks
Benchmade 940 comes in green - I don't like the blade shape myself but very lightweight for a 3.4" blade; a lot of people love it as an EDC
Benchmade 552 & 558 - Ritter Griptilians, available from knifeworks with M390 blades and orange scales
Benchmade 710-1401 and 810-1401 - also KW, also M390, layered blue/black scales.
Benchmade 665 APB, new Benchmade model and lock for this year, layered blue/black scales

And then of course you could get a model you like in a different color and have one of the craftsmen on here make you come scales in the color and material you want.


Hope that's enough to at least give you a few options to start looking!

Some of my favorite green knives are my toxic green carbon fiber Franken-Blur, Ritter Mini-Grip w/ swimming-pool green WilkinsGrips, Delica4 FFG, PM2 sprint run w/ CTS-204P blade, and SAK Yeoman w/ emerald green scales. Favorite blue knives are my 0392 (blue hardware) and blue Skylines (BFC and blackwashed ones). I don't really have a favorite orange knife -- maybe my orange Zing or Mini-Grip (although I just traded the latter away).

Here's a thread of orange knives: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/783140-Pictures-of-Orange-Knives

Quick search didn't find any similar ones for blue or green.

Here are some of mine...

Just finished Reviewing the lengthy ORANGE knife pics - 41 pg post from not long ago. See a few I like, but also great ideas on blue and green models here. Some models look better to my eyes in certain colors. Nice pics n posts guys. Thanks much.

You can get a Spyderco Lava with blue G10, they're fantastic EDC knives and are the only sub 2" bladed folder I've seen that allows for a full hand grip.

I really like the lionsteel knives. They come in many colors.
