Just curious what everyone thinks the new color trend is? For firearms it was the black rifle, then wood camo, then digital/acu, olive drab, and desert tan.

For knives what is it

And this is for scales/handles. I guess blade color will be another poll later
 
Voted orange, just because it's got "Safety" connotations associated. And I see a lot of orange knives. It just seems like more of a trend than any other, including the zombie thing.
 
Definitely orange, and I hate it because that's the color I like to find knives in. I have a little mini collection of orange knives (so far only a Paramilitary 2 sprint, Kershaw Skyline, and ZT 0551 w/ orange Hindere Frag scale, but I'm always looking for more).
 
I would have to say orange too. I use to think it was silly when people posted knives with orange handles and remembered thinking how ugly they looked. The whole orange thing slowly grew on me and now I'm really loving the color.
 
Many people associate colors from their youth. Green was the color used by the Air Force back in 1959 and for some reason the color reminds me of that color used on base (even though my dad was a Navy pilot). It also came to the point where a green witch scared the hell out of my brother for a Halloween party. So when I saw the green I had to have it!
 
I also like orange, also have a watch and wallet same color. I like it so i can find it easier when i forget where i put it. Is that the reasoning for knives though? or is it to get away from the "threatening/tactical" aspect.
 
Orange for sure. Always liked orange, but seeing knives with orange scales made it blow up. I only have one orange knife ATM, but I plan on getting more. I did grab a Seiko Orange Monster as part of my orange craze though, love that watch!

I enjoy the colors but everything I get that isn't black or some kind of metal finish takes a nice RIT bath.
 
But I have considered calling up a maker for some neon green scales to go on my black PM2 though.
 
I like earth tones myself. My KA-BAR with the leather handle is the perfect color scheme for it. My Buck 119 is also nice in its factory finish, but that's mostly related to a desire not to rub off the protective finish unnecessarily.
 
I don't like it at all, really, but I'd say that the current color trend is the toxic green/zombie color scheme. Orange knives are "old news" and that wave hit a couple years back. I consider that to be mainstream now, and so no longer "trendy." I just wish blue would gain the same momentum.
 
Toxic green for sure..I have a custom that I sent back to the maker to be changed. Some knife "pimpers" really ruined it for me

Orange will always be cool, in my book
