With the arrival of my orange Dodo sprint, my Orange G-10 herd has grown to seven members. I'm anxiously waiting (as many of us are!) the orange Para2 later this spring.

are the manix scales made like that by spyderco, or is it some after market stuff?
 
The only aftermarket scales in this picture are the Halpern scales on the Super Blue Mule. Amen74 is right, the orange Manix 2 is a sprint run from 2010. If I recall, it was originally a Cutlery Shoppe exclusive...

Great pic! I really like all of those models, and they look good together in orange G10.

Ok, bh... You gotta be pulling my leg. I've never heard of or seen an orange G-10 Native. Was it a dealer exclusive, forum knife, or something?

I don't think he was talking about G10. I've never seen one, but that doesn't mean it wasn't made.

I never saw it either, so we need to follow Orange Dodo footsteps and start asking Sal to make one :)
I love orange handles on my favorite knives.

I would love an orange G10 native 5. The only thing stopping me from buying a native is because I dont need another black g10 handled knife.

As much as I love orange color, I think that black or something dark is better for EDC. I hate cleaning G10 weekly.
BTW, BB guys discussing really good steels for their Forum Native
 
Well, this thread just made me buy an orange spydie. That's how I justify it...YOU people made me do it! :D

Already had the orange para2 ordered, but one more can't hurt...right?

I wouldnt argue against the fact that black makes the most sense for EDC (inconspicuous color, easy to keep clean, etc). But I have way too many black g10 handled knives. Its to the point that I wont buy it if it has black g10 handles. I cant wait for this fad to be over. Lets get some other colors or micarta.

And I love that orange native. Would be a great sprint, someone call cutlery shoppe.
 
If anyone is looking for the orange G-10 UKPKs, there are a few left on Sierra Trading Post. If you sign up for the email announcements, you get some fantastic coupons.

I prefer micarta or polished G10 to peel-ply. And if Spyderco would make Orange or dark green G10 Native and than black G10, I would skip black, but there is no such option today. N5 is the great knife and my favorite out of Golden made models, I would rather have it black than not to have it at all.
