s30v red micarta 119

[jbmonkey]

got email from one of the buck vendors. also drop point 5160 112s.....but not sure i dig on the red micarta handle. have to think about that one. what do y'all think? got to have or pass?

I got that email and was tempted but I prefer burgundy micarta. Make one of those and I'm in for a couple.

Red is not my favorite color either.Heck,I would have even preferred orange micarta to red.

I've sent back two drop point blades because they were terribly off-center.To be fair they were both 110 models.I hope there isn't the same issue with the 112's.

burgundy.....yeah that would be sharp.

sportingspecialist....shame on those 110s. yeah red just isnt for me i think. makes me think of training knives.

I am passing on the red micarta but thought the same thing when I say them that I would grab one or possibly two if it was burgundy micarta.

I like the micarta handles alot but not a big fan of the red.

Ditto

I don't mind the red, but I strongly prefer burgundy or deep red, like a garnet. Oxblood is nice, too.

I'm not a big fan of the red micarta but might consider one. I looked at them a bit last night need to mill it around in my head for a bit then decide if I can't live without one.

Not bad. At first glance doesn't look much different than other reddish handles. I think I prefer Indigo or Charcoal handles. Nice metal though.
Wish someone would commission a micarta 112 in s30v.

I've red on some product reviews that the "red" is nowhere near as bright as the stock pic in the listings.
Closer to a deep/dark red to burgundy color.
Anyone actually get one of these? maybe post a real pic?

Here are the only pictures I have of mine immediately at hand... just ignore the other knife.

I cant ignore the other knife. Tell me more about it.

 

[Nostimos]

Thanks for the pics.
It does seem to be darker than the stock pics in the listings.

Getting one of these is on my short list of things to do.

I'm also having trouble ignoring the other knife! Custom work?

It is attractive in person. Black carbon fiber handle and a bead blasted blade. Found on the bay without box or info. I would love to know more myself.

I like the red. I think they should do a run of the 117 Small Special with the same red micarta.

:thumbup: I think in sets, I'd buy the whole 100 series.
