What is your favorite color combination to date - or your favorite custom shop handle combination?

I like the Midnight with Black and Blue G10, and I also like the bruiser on the tanker blades. I really love that blue brain coral from the custom shop. Did they make that pattern in any other colors?

That being said, I'm quickly becoming a fan of the simplicity with Black G10 with a Satin, DC, or Comp blade. That combo is really growing on me.

I have also noticed that I am *not* a fan of the Hammered Silver Coating (or most of the hammered coatings) on a "user" because the coating is thick and tends to cause binding during normal use.

Maroon canvas and bronze FTW.

My A2 is comin dressed in midnight blue with black/blue, but as far as midnight blue teamed with other colors I've found the true black coating offers the best contrast and pop.
 
Also have some maroon canvas inbound, looks pretty sweet. Other than that the only standard handle color haven't tried is green/blackg10 and red/black g10. Half the time it looks red, and then you see it in an image elsewhere and it looks brown :confused:.
 
I guess I'm old skool these days because Chrome goes with everything :D
I have a neighbor who's ashop tech where I work who bought a SRT Dodge ram with black chrome wheels- What's he do? had them plasi-coated flat black :eek: ~ He was all stoked with the way it turned out- Me, I don't get it at all - Nice wheels on a vehicle always start with chrome for me- that's why stripping and polishing is for me, the ultimate.

I really like my Infi Rat with blk/tan and midnight blue coating - It's possibly the only one? I think it looks great! But I'm also learning by handling them that I like the canvas micarta in the hand much better than any of the G10, it just feels rock hard to me. The maroon handle on my burp is interesting, it didn't look maroon at first, but after being handled for a couple months now, it's almost a dark burgundy color, nothing like when they are fresh out of the box, very interesting! I didn't know they did this but I'm very pleased by it.
 
Hand smoothed micarta is like butter that plus factory or home done satin or comp finish :eek:. Micarta looks better on bare steel than g10 imo.

I like them stripped myself as well, just weary do do lately with the higher percentage of grinder gremlins (aka machining process marks) as of late. Sometimes if you throw enough lumens at it you can see them through/under the paint.
 
StealthCaliber StealthCaliber - that's funny because I've done that! looked under high light with a magnifying glass looking for marks. I think certain coatings it's possible but a couple I have are super rough. I haven't found anything obvious yet.
 
Have an sfno with black blade you can cleary see a squiggly line with a loop on one side :confused: . Luckily its near the spine, havent managed to beat off coating that high yet on anything.
 
That's a tough one. Honestly depends on the knife. I was a fan of tanker. I was also a big fan of Jungle Green. That would be my #1 pick for a returning coating.

Really I'm just commenting so I can say HOT DAMN THAT GLADIUS.
As far as good looking color combos, that satin/black G10 the best looking gladius I've ever seen! gimme gimme gimme!
