Anybody know of any yellow-handle knives? I just recently picked up a Case Sodbuster Jr. with the ol' yeller handles, but I want more yellow. I've seen the Griptilian and an EKA Compact in yellow, as well as that fancy Laguiole from Forge de Laguiole, but I'm curious what other yellow handled knives you guys might know of.
 
Case has just about any model in the yellow handle as well as other good companies like Queen ,but I use to have a small collection of different model Camillus knives from their Yello-Jacket series that I sold when the value was still reasonbly priced. Now The USA ones can get pricey when in great shape,but worth getting ,if you can find them.
 
Here's the yellow laguiole in case anybody wants to see what it looks like.

I really like the mini-grips with yellow handles, tried to pick one up last year, but store I ordered it from lost it somewhere :(
 
i love the yellow mini grips. i cant decide if i want yellow or orange! im sure ill end up with both
 
Case has a whole line of yellow knives in addition to the Sodbuster Jr. you already have. Be sure to get yourself one of those EKA Compact knives. Only $12 from Ragweed Forge. I have one but it is blue. Also Victorinox has Dayglow knives that are a bright yellow and glow in the dark.

Ooh, glow in the dark. I'll have to look into that. I think my next purchase will probably end up being that EKA. Looks small and functional. I like that.
 
My Sak Rambler (Vic Classic with a bottle opener and phillips screwdriver) is Stayglow yellow.

Actually a very cool looking color in person, it's a neon yellow, but you can see the greenish-clear tint of the glow in the dark material as well. The thing glows BRIGHT, too. I've been meaning to pick up another SAK in the same color.

And I love my Mini Ritter Grip in yellow! IMO, it matches the stonewashed finish really nicely.
 
About the EKA. The plastic handle is very hollow inside. Makes the knife light but dirtsensitive. Nothing for environment where kleaning the knife under running water is hard to make. Good steel and bladegeometry. Best EKA slipjoint that size is the EKA 100. All stainless and flat, very easy to put on own scales, mabye yellow micarta.

The Mini Grip has rather more brightly coloured handles than say the CASE work range(sort of mid yelow custard colour and very Trad!)But the Mini Grip is very easy to find in the workshop or garden because of the colour.I have one and think highly of it,but opt for thumb stud model not the hole.

Others to consider: The yello Jakets have been mentioned and I have a very pretty lockback in that, don't like blade etches usually but that wasp on the blade is wonderful.

GEC do range of Banana bone handled Traditionals

Bark River has a Rescue Yellow handle option.

Rough Rider has an EXCELLENT series called Old Yellow with a very nice union shield,I have a Gunstock, Sodbuster and Doctor in that series.There are others such as Toothpick,Sowbelly,Stockmans,Trappers etc All very nicely made and cheap to buy,they look and feel very decent.

German Eye and Moore Maker also offer some yellow handles.

Yellow is an excellent handle choice!
 
Check out A.G. Russell for some yellow slippies. He has Queen producing a yellow delrin trapper, and is also beginning a series of knives under his name called the "Working Man's" knives with yellow bone.
 
If you want an RSK Grip or Mini-Grip, they come in yellow as well. They carry a higher price what with the S30v and the Doug Ritter stamp, but it's still not too much($110 for the Mini and I think $120 for the other).
 
Here's one I had been looking for for a long time. It was gifted to me at the Blade Show. It's a '75 Case Stockman....checkout the half serrated clip blade.....
