Congratulations on your 3K, David, and thanks for the contest.

I'll go with a 1987 Honda Accord, blue in color.

Military blade profile, about half scale, one PE, one SE.

Cool cake!

Congratulations and best wishes to you and Mrs. CoPilot!

David, I have one of the D2 Paras, date code DH (April 2008). The tang is rounded very nicely, about 1/16 in.

I guess its combos through the week and solos on the weekend:

Monday - Friday: Ladybug SE, Victorinox Soldier, and either D2 Millie or Para.
Saturday: FG FRN Delica with shorts, or the M-F combo with jeans.
Sunday: CF Caly 3 or Etched Cricket.

I'm going to add my opinion in as well I guess. My vote would be a dark blue, reserving the color BRG for ZDP knives only. I think Sal has the right idea keeping colors uniform when possible on things like trainers, or upgraded steels, like ZDP. Joe I would like the dark blue-grey of the Waves, but...

The washers on each side of the blade on my aluminum Crow seem a bit thick - .57mm per side vs. .25mm on my Para. Lockup is tight and there is no noticeable blade play, really just aesthetic. It makes the Crow just a bit thicker than it needs to be. Still, the Crow/Raven series are a great value for...

I would be curious as to whether our customers prefer the small cut-out for the lock release, as on the Raven, as opposed to the larger "glove" lock relase opening that we use on the Military and Sage? Coincidence - UPS delivered an aluminum-handled Crow as I was reading this. I have deve...

Happy Birthday, Tony! I hope it was a great one!

I'd also like to see a carbon steel Spydie. Maybe a UKPK or an Urban in a tool steel (yes, like Vascowear) or in good ol' 1095.

I went with the white Dragonfly SE, although I would be happy with the standard production PE, finally in VG-10.

I voted for the Vg-10 with FRN. For the odd color - Peanut Butter! :D

Sal, have a happy and blessed birthday! :)

While I know it won't happen, the one I would like is a Yojimbo, this time with black G-10 handles and black S30V blade, PE of course!

Happy Birthday, David! :)

Aubergine would be nice, but please, not Barney purple! :D

Raven, thank you very much for your service to the community. My prayers are with you for a speedy and complete recovery.

I voted for navy blue - what I'm visualizing is a dark, strong blue similar to the old "gloss sea blue" of U. S. naval aircraft, not the "almost-black" blue of naval uniforms.

Thanks for the review, David. I am anxiously awaiting a D2 Para ordered last Saturday. CPM-D2 is what prompted me to order my first Millie a few months ago, and it has been in my pocket ever since. Very impressive steel for both sharpness and edge holding ability. The Millie is great, but there are ...

Just went through a similar decision. I ordered a black Subcom as my first CLB; the Wharcom was a close second.
