I go back and forth with this handle material. It does kind of grow on you.

My next knife will have those on it if I have my say. I always find myself looking in dark bags or dark places for anything I need and that color will fix a lot of the problem.
By the way, THAT KNIFE IS INCREDIBLE!
 
I would not want it on all of my knives but I sure like it on the knives that I use when there is snow all over.
 
That looks great, a real practical colour !!!;):thumbup:

I have to admit though that I prefer your wood handles !!!!!:o
 
On the style of knife that I typically go for, I think it would look rather odd. I personaly do not prefer it over wood, antler or a less vibrant synthetic. But, I think it does have a place on some knives that need to be of high visibility.

I have a Kershaw Tyrade, Syderco Military, and Ritter Griptilian with orange handles. But I'd like the knife in the picture with most any colored handle. :D
 
Nice knife Scott!

A lot of the rifle hunters go for the orange, here's a couple hunters I've done.

Oooh! Nice! :thumbup:

I really like the idea of orange handles on an outdoor/survival knife to make the harder to lose in the underbrush or leaf litter. Aside from that, I have gotten to where I actually like the looks of them, too.
 
I carry an orange knife at work every 3rd day. If I set it down in the dark I want to be able to find it when the light hits it :D
 
great looking knife.. I have 3 Orange Knives. 1 Dozier k-2, 2 crotts.. For hunting they are awesome.. I was sick of always trying to find my knife after field dressing a deer..

I don't think it is a fad.. I think Orange is here to stay..
