There's gold in dim der hills!

Saw this on an email from a knife dealer in my state. OMG, it's...it's...it's this.

Is this actually a thing now?

Been a thing on flea market and gas station knives for at least 10 years, if they're just now catching up with the flea market junk this thing must be pretty bad.

 

[Dogdrawz]

New to me. Guess it's cuz I don't knife shop at gas stations. I draw the line at snacks & gas.

Protech has made some Rose Gold Blade finishes that look alright.

 

[Cscotttsss]

Yuck, too bad because I like Browning as a company.

 

[Dogdrawz]

Checked out ProTech, not bad. It's looks like burnt bronze. Tiz acceptable.

 

[dirc]

can't stand anything bronze/gold shaded...
it's hard enough even with dlc or titanium nitride grey coatings

the only thing which browning has done recently that was interesting - hemp micarta, which seems like it should be great but I haven't got one yet

 

[Alberta Ed]

POS.

Kershaw does both a Leek and a Chive in gold now too... but at least they aren’t as quite an obnoxious shade of gold. Not my thing, but I guess they gotta try to keep things fresh.

Still, in my eyes, not as bad as the rainbow stuff that was big for a while...

But hey, style is subjective. Just because I don’t like them, doesn’t mean they won’t sell.

So if S really hits the fan, you can smoke your knife.

My rainbow Leek was a gift from my son, so of course, I treasure it.

Straight from Fleabay...

Lot of 2 Gerber Paralite 5Cr13MoV Rose Gold and Champagne Folding Pocket Knives.

It's not the price...oh no, it's the marketing terms 5Cr13Mov, Gold & Champagne that really turn me on to the purchase.

 

[Dogdrawz]

LMAO...

I gifted one to my wife, after she saw a picture of one somewhere. It arrived, and is as gaudy as you'd expect but A. she loves it and carries it and B. I am comfortable in that it's actually a well-made little knife.

 

[The Aflac Duck]

I’m pretty sure it’s just a titanium nitride coating.

 

[22-rimfire]

I like to look at stuff like that, but I would never buy one. I like plain polished or stone wash finishes. No paint.

 

[gazz98]

Well, ya might as well dive right into the pool ....

 

[Dogdrawz]

^^^ love this...
...but how about...

I can't actually say too much, since my wife carries a P238 in pimpalicious purple, that I bought for her. Like the rainbow Leek, it's a quality piece, but it's definitely not to my personal taste...

Guys, I've got a Böker Magnum Goldfinger, don't tell me you think that is a POS as well?
