Orange knives :-(

[tony281sc2]

I like orange. I don’t think it’s any more or less common than yellow, red or green.
Of course blue and gold are more popular because you can anodize those colors on titanium. It’s a nice break from the OD, coyote and black G10 you see everywhere

*the 0562 is gone, but I still have the rest

There are some knives where orange handle scales wouldn't look as good, unless you're colour blind and you like that tone, with brown Delrin being the line for old timey folders. I've currently got 10 orange scale knives (I've added 4 more since I took this picture and I gave away my Mini Bugout).

How about a Project X?

I can't seem to find it, but there is a thread that is probably ongoing for a couple of years where folks show off their Orange. Would be worth looking up if you really want to know as there are some spectacular pieces all the way down to utility knives. All ages, too.

I frown at orange
Im not trying to direct traffic
Austerity and dark earth tones for me

Lol you frown at a color?

Own just one orange knife. I like it. It had to be the right shade orange for me and this was.

They are easy to find in that drawer full of black charging cords.

On a knife handle, yes

Oooooo weeee, I love that Buck 110 orange automatic! Never seen an orange one before. Did you get it directly from Buck?

No, I got it from a guy that was at the factory store fathers Day weekend sale a few years ago. He lives close by the factory in Post Falls. These were a special build out for a retail dealer. I guess they had some extras.

I dislike orange adorned knives greatly. I think I own one, maybe two...



....the aftermarket scales for the Swamp Wardens were rare enough that I was happy to grab the Orange when offered.

Depending where I am travelling and what I am doing at a given time I may add orange 550 or survey cord to some of my gear in the interests of making sure it can be found.

I'm not wild about entire solid handles in blaze orange, especially in FRN, rubber, plastic, g-10 etc.

The burnt/rust orange anodized aluminum like on microtechs is a bit better.

I don't mind orange as an accent color.

Orange and green are my favorite colors. At this point my handle preference for folders is “anything other than black”. I have enough black G10 handles to last 10 lifetimes.

Orange handles are not a new thing.

I don't want all my knives in orange, but I do like it on some of them for sure. And I do like orange liners on fixed blades.

You don't want your survival depending on gear you can't find.

And sometimes it just looks good.
