orange or digi-camo

Orange for me at the moment.

But that digi-camo is starting to catch my eye.
 
The orange looks good when it's clean and definitely has a practical use. I just wonder how most folks would react to it as an EDC knife. If you're just going to use it for hunting, hiking, camping, etc. orange might be the ticket.
If you're looking for a nice/different looking EDC I vote digi-camo.

Orange is easy to find when dropped, but it also attracts attention when maybe you don't want to,,,,

The digicam is the opposite,,,

It all depends on your intended use of the Military,,,

This is a great point. I LOVE orange knives. I do not yet have the orange military. I do have an orange ESEE and will be getting another. In the case of the Military, while I do want an orange one, I think the orange color is going to call attention to the fact that you've got the clip knife. Now if you are outdoors, who cares and that is going to be an asset if you drop the thing in the snow or in the woods. Frankly, with a fixed knife there is no way to deflect attention so orange is not such an issue. But with the Military you may want to carry it around town, maybe in a fairly civilized state park or something and I would expect that color to be somewhat of a hinderance. Now obviously you could just un-clip it and drop it all the way down in your pocket but I lost a nice knife that way.

The knife coming in the mail is the digi-camo para 1. I really like that. I fully expect to get an orange Mili as well some day so you are not going to go wrong with either.

What I am really wanting to see is an ACU-grey G-10 scaled version of either of these knives.
 
I'm going with the orange the order is already in. Thanks for all the comments and pics. The digi cam will just have to wait a little longer
 
In addition to my camo flavor, I have 2 orange flavors. One to use, and the other just to keep in reserve. I have noticed that among folks who are heavy users of the orange handled Military, it tends to get dirty and nasty looking. But I bet it could be cleaned up real easy with a toothbrush.
 
Don't own the camo, but love the orange. It's something different and looks clean to me. I also have the Ti and CF Milies.
 
Have 'em and like 'em both but the Digi wins by a hair.

Mainly because as mentioned by a few already the orange tends to get dirty and then looks like crap. I always try and clean mine after use and leave them as clean as possible but sometimes my orange handles smudge and are tough to get clean.
