Since ive been recently been looking at knives ive noticed something, i remember a certain knife easier by the colors (that is if i am not already familiar with the knife). Idk if its my crazy head or if anyone else is that way to. But theres certain color combos on a knife that just seem to stick and never go away. What are some interesting colors you guys have seen on knives that just stood out to you???Has a unique color ever helped you remember knife when you went looking for it???
 
There is a Spyderco BLUE G10 color that I really like, and I've had a few models in that color.
 
I like color. Black blades with blue handles, tan/FDE, and OD green. Still a big fan of black on black too.
 
I like the Spyderco Blue G10 in pictures
I don't own any though
 
I like knives with blue handles. I have a blue sprint run Tenacious, a blue Opinel #8, I recently got the Condor Mountain Knife in blue, Kershaw Crown, Svord Peasant and Mini Peasant, Mora Companion, CRKT Ripple, couple Rough Riders, my SAK Midnight Manager...all in blue. Even my custom Buck 110 has the Indigo Royalwood handle scales.
 
I have quite a few different color knives-
Blue sage 3
Dyed dark green dragonfly salt
BRG Dragonfly ZDP & manbug ZDP
Dark blue delica w/ purple backspacer
Dyed red mini-grip
Red zancudo
Translucent blue manix2 LW
Coyote rat-2
Yellow ladybug hawkbill
Blue CRKT Ripple [wife's]
Rainbow Chive [wife's]

Also have some natural / "jade" G10 and some dark red micarta for future projects.

I'd say my favorite is also the blue g10 on my sage3 however any blue knife looks good. I don't own one but I love the dark blue/ carbon fiber on the MSS LE Benchmade 707, especially with black blade. Always loved orange knives but never owned one, I'm thinking of getting the venom green/orange ESEE 4 tho and I also really want a super blue spyderco in the grey g10 or FRN they use on the SB's.

All in all I don't mine a black knife, really like black on black even, but I like choices. Colored handles are the spice of EDC, I also have multiple different colored flashlights.
 
Spyderco Carbon fiber. Is that a color?

I like it as a scale choice, both for appearance and texture. It's not slick. It's not "grippy" like G-10.
 
There are so many knives out there with black scales and silver blades after a while they all run togetherand look alike.
Color on a handle make's it stand out and catches your attention myself I like blue or orange they catch my eye more often than other colors.
 
My favorite color is blue in almost everything But for some reason in knifes my favorite one of color is my spyderco atlantic salt, in Bright Yellow.
overall I favor wood and bone scales.
 
I've grown a bit bored with black handles, so I try to get a little colour variety whenever I can. As long as it's not something too loud, I'm fine (and I even have a couple of bright yellow and orange knives).

I prefer satin finished blades, but I can live with a coated one.
