Favorite Orange Knife (Traditionals Only)

I've been ignoring this thread for 5 months because I couldn't think of any orange knives I could contribute. But while folding clothes in the laundry room this morning, I had an epiphany! I realized I had more orange knives than I could shake a stick at, if I use a "liberal" definition of what counts as orange color.

I'll start with a couple of Case knives that the manufacturer says have pocket worn harvest orange bone covers - nobody can argue with that, right?

Next is an oriental Camillus muskrat I found at Menard's over 10 years ago. I think almost everyone would agree that the handle inserts (vinyl?, acrylic?, waxed paper?) have orange highlights lurking throughout the black.

Now I'll move on to more subjective versions of orange.
This canoe used to often show up on knife dealers' sites listed as an XYZ canoe (no idea why) with brown bone covers. In many lighting situations, I'd say this canoe has orange bone handle.

My last example for this post is a Rough Ryder Tobacco Road canoe. Dealer's description says the covers are smooth tobacco bone; I have several RRs with this bone and the color varies quite a bit, from a rich darkish brown to a pale yellow. This particular canoe lands in the orangey section of that color continuum IMHO.

that material reminds me of carbon fibre with colour woven in to it. That might be it
