dont care for them really, i only have one. i wish it had different handle colors but whaddya do.
 
I wish more knives came with orange handles... I like the looks of them, and as others have mentioned, they'd be a cinch to find if misplaced or dropped in the woods.
 
I voted NO without fully considering the question.

But I should have voted YES on account of these orange beauties:

My point, "orange" doesn't necessarily equate to plastic.
 
^^^ Hey, that fixed blade is gorgeous! ^^^^

I like orange handles for 3 reasons:

1. Easier to spot if you drop it in vegetation
2. Looks more like a tool, less like a weapon
3. Adds variety to my mostly 'tactical/black' collection

In my teenage mall ninja days, I only wanted knives with black handles and blades. Because I was afraid bright or reflective colors might reveal my position to the enemy. Then I grew up and realized I had no enemies! :cool:

So the result is most my knives are very black, and I like the spot of color my orange knives add!

Yellow works as well so I lump orange and yellow together.

Me too, although, that's because I have a hard time telling the difference.
I like my orange/yellow handle knives. I work outside, in the dark, it makes them easier to find if I set them down or drop them. Apparently they're a lot less scary that way too. :confused:
 
I like 'em. I've got one orange handled knife with another in the mail. I'm just tired of black handle scales so I'm trying to limit the amount of knives I have with them.:thumbup:
 
I like color so I said yes. Lately Blue and Orange have been carried second and third to Red, which will always win out in color.
 
I have only one knife with an orange handle, but I like that color. Not only because I'm Dutch, but those bright colored handles are ideal for outdoor use. If you drop it, it is easy to find.

Only orange handled knife I have is the RAT pack knife and it's nice. I don't necessarily prefer orange over other colors, but I don't mind orange. It's a nice change from gray/black handles though.
 
I said no.
While I like the look, they just show dirt and marks too fast for me.
Plus I have been favoring subtlety with my knives lately, less flash, low ride clips.
 
Yep. But they do show dirt. A good way to go is Orange & Black G10 done the way Busse does it. Then the dirt doesn't show quite as much.
 
There is something about a camo knife that just screams "DROP ME!" Then, when you do drop them, they suddenly go quiet. Orange screams "HERE I AM!" As a hunter, when a lot of cutting may be done after dark by the light of a precariously held flashlight, I appreciate that.
 
I really dislike all bright colors...on anything.

I won't even wear it unless its green, brown, black, grey or a dark navy:o
 
I used to hate bright colors like orange when I was younger, but it's realy grown on me lately. And orange is very much "in" right now. Not just with knife handles, but also with things like clothes and cars too.:thumbup: I'm diggin it right now!:)

Pluss it's nice to have some variety with knives. ...Gets kind of boring when everything is just black or brown.
 
It looks cool on a XM-18.
But then even a crap brown scale would look good on one:DThese knifes rule!
