Survey: Ideal Dodo scales?

[Chiro75]

Just out of curiosity, if you could change your Dodo to have different scales, what would you want? Currently there is Smurf Blue and Black G-10 that is textured. With such an original blade and handle shape, this seems like the ultimate production knife for people who think outside the box, so in the ideal world, how do you see your Dodo? Would you want:

1) Another color of G-10?

2) Micarta scales? If so, what kind and color of Micarta (I think brown/natural canvas would be cool!)

3) Wood to class it up a bit? If so, what kind of wood?

3) Do you like the texturing or would you prefer smooth finish?

This is just a cool knife in general and I saw a post about pink scales for it, so it got me thinking!

Carbon fiber would be my ideal.

I also think yellow G10 with DLC black blade would be cool as a short sprint.

Titanium scales and a black blade sounds good to me.

I like the current textured G10 very much. (I even like the "smurf blue"!) For providing a secure grip on a small knife combined with high strength, it is hard to beat. Although I like the look and appearance of titanium, I'm not really a fan of metal scales on smaller knives , just because I don't feel like it gives me quite as much to grab onto. On something the size of an ATR or Large Sebenza, I love titanium, though.

As far as variations go, I wouldn't mind seeing a pink G10 "sprint run" as mentioned in the other thread, or, any of the following:

- Olive drab G10 with a black blade

- Carbon fiber scales that are somehow slightly texturized to improve grip. Perhaps they could be glass bead blasted?

- Tan "desert" G10 or Micarta

Stainless steel bolsters with snakewood scales.

I like mine just as it is. It's not the perfect folder and it's not meant to be, it's a very specialized product for consumers who want that kind of performance in that kind of package. It's a politically correct tactical folder.

My point is I don't see how you could change the design and still have the same knife as it's so specialized.

I would keep it as it is.

I'm for pink handles on anything. Gives me an excuse to buy one for my wife.

For myself, carbon fiber looks cool on anything.
I also wish that when folks came out with blue handles, it would be a blue that blends in with the color of denim. Sort of light camoflage when carrying in well-worn jeans.

In my opinion these would be great...

Black blade with CF or black blade with yellow G-10
