I'm seeing a lot of Orange again, maybe more than last time I saw it.
I'd like to know if you could get any color scale/handle now what would it be?

I'm hoping with these replies, "if you ask for it, they will build it!"
and everybody will be happy. (many :D )

ORANGE for me ;)
 
Well everyone is saying burgandy is the new flame orange :)

Truthfully I think gray and black always work for knive handles.
 
RED!---Handled, Leu kozuka, Busse GW, Barkie Woodland Spl. and a Gedraitis custom folder. Yup!
 
Orange is all over the place lately. Very nice for a change, seeing Blaze as the new tactical. :D
 
depends what im using it for. my edc's are both black blades with a back and a red/black acidwash ano handles be cause they dont stand out too much. if i was doing more hard core outdoors type stuff or involved in emergency services i would want a bright orange/limegreen/some other crazy color to be able to see it if i drop it at night/low light/etc.

im to indecisive to chose just one color, so i guess ill have to find a type of knife i like that has AL handles and then send them out to get a bunch of different colors done and just rotate... leeks are cheap enough to make this realistic... eventually

I've been seeing more bright liners sandwiched in the scales, which I think are shweeeet! but it's more of an added detail than a real practical use.

More red request than I thought would come, nice. Pink! only Zsa Zsa would borrow that! :p
 
I remember when I first started it was black, then camo, then orange, multi-colors, sage the rage, then more natural looking scales, now back to bright!
 
i have a few knives in orange g-10.. they're great while in the woods...:thumbup:

i prefer wood scales overall... osage, cocobollo and ironwood just to name a few....

as for other stuff... i really like green micarta scales... you can't beat em'.. green and black combo is also really cool...
 
I'm not sure any color is hotter right now than any other. :rolleyes:

I prefer the color mix of real wood first (Bocote, Cocobolo, Ironwood, etc.), then the fossilized ivories and teeth, next probably the stabilized burls, and finally black, olive, tan, ivory or other earth colors in the various Micartas or G10.

Yup, everyday is halloween for me too bro.

I just finished a dagger and I used red para under black para cord. Looks pretty cool I guess (I ran outta nice wood). This knife is funky anyway, for kicks I polished the blade then put a big heart sticker on each side blued the blade and then peeled off the stickers. Looks neat.

Anyway I made my wife a kitchen knife and used some redwood limb that I collected a long time ago and stained it red. Looks really cool. My favorite so far.

Chartruese (spelling??) would be cool too.
 
I want my next knife's handle to be plain black, bright orange, or bright yellow. I like earthy tones for almost everything, but they rarely excite me on a knife handle.
