Mini-Grip: do colored handles fade?

[James Y]

I'm considering getting a BM 555 mini-grip, either with a yellow or blue handle. Does the color in the handles fade or naturally discolor over time, or hold up well? Also, do they show dirt really easily?
Thanks.
Jim

I've had a yellow handle model for about 12 months now.Dirt is no problem, all sorts of muck just washes off. A fine knife and practical user etc. As for the colour, the yellow is a bit bright for my taste, I have tried fading it in a very sunny window but so far NOTHING.It's very handy when dropped though, you can't miss it

No fade whatsoever. They don't hold dirt and they stay bright. I've had the green mini for several years now. Don't worry, be happy

My yellow Ritter RSK Mini 558 gets the most carry, followed by my blue 556.

Never noticed any color fade at all.

I've owned a green Mini-grip for at least 3-4 years. No fading issues whatsoever. No worries.

Thanks, everyone. I plan to get a yellow 555HG, mainly because I have a bunch of black-handled knives and want a one-hander with an easy-to-spot color for something different.
