Hi guys,

I've never really been into folders with handles other than neutral or subdued colors, but recently I've seen a few orange-handled ones that look interesting.

For those that already like varied-colored handles, what are your favorite orange-handled folders?

I'd like to get one that has at least a 3.5 inch blade and a pocket clip that can be reversed for left-handed carry. (Really wish it was standard practice to make all clips reversible.)

Love the looks of the Bucklite Max but sadly, no reversible clip.

Any ideas welcome. Thanks guys.

I just said I wish mine wasn't serrated because I got it as a gift, and it was serrated. I'm certain I'd love it more if it was plain edge.
It utilizes n680, which is a very rust resistant steel, and it holds an edge a little longer than 440c. It sharpens up to a wonderful edge, too.
 
If they ever get them back in stock I definitely want and orange Strider PT CC, its the GPKnives exclusive and even they dont know when they will get more :( Other than that I love my orange Delica and Skyline.
 
How about a Spyderco Endura 4? It has a orange FRN handle and the clip position has lots of flexibility (right/left handed, tip-up/tip-down). The blade is 3.75 inches and the closed length is 5 inches.orange endura.jpg
 
Thanks for the history on the Okapi. I don't own an authentic one but I love the reasonably-priced CS ones as beater knives, for sure.

No, the kudu is actually an Okapi style knife. Yea, same lock.

My fav orange is the ESEE Zancudo.
