Good idea for a poll Tom. Thanks for posting those for reference David.
I voted for Tan, something similar to the OIF Native. I also like the above versions of Brown, Burgundy, Silver Tweed, and Navy Blue.
I also have to say I hate the idea of Orange, some people say that Orange is the new Foliage Green :p .

My vote goes to the navy blue. It would look awesome on a new G10 Lava.

I voted for navy blue. This is my choice out of these two, but I would prefer green like Lil T.
Still, I think that black is most universal. I wouldn't want all or majority of knives in the same color. Blue, like Dodo is nice as well. I like orange, I got UKPK, I wouldn't mind couple more in orange.

I would like to see a safety neon green. Espically on a Rescue model, or on the Salt series.

Tough choice, but I voted Navy Blue. Matching jeans is a good idea. Tan is real nice, too - or brown - tough choice!

- best wishes, Jazz.

I voted blue... the tan wouldn't be that much different the FG I think... Something completely new would be awesome.

The Silver Tweed G-10 would be pretty cool, but my absolute favorite is the translucent green/natural? G-10 that Kevin Wilkins puts on some of his folders. That would be great on a Leafstorm...or Rocklobster...or the Salt series...or...or...or :D

How about a pink Military and a digital camo Jester? Just kidding :D

Between tan and navy blue, I could go either way.

I just received my FG Manix and really like that color. It's a nice contrast to all the black G-10 :spyder: s in the collection.

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.

Wow, imagine GITD G-10! Wouldn't that be a hoot...you'd never lose your knife at night! (And the enemy could see you coming a mile away!)
There's a place called Shadetree Phenolics run by a guy named Todd who makes custom G10, he's done stuff with green, blue and orange GITD G10:

Good stuff in my opinion.

Many knife models would be well served with a plain old earth tone brown. A dark brown blends with many other colors also. Look towards nature for inspiration. Think brown bear or chocolate labrador. Brown is a nice calming color.

I voted for Navy Blue but would love to see Burgundy G10 and a Blood Red (hint of Burgundy but with a more reddish tint to it).............mind you Orange G10 suits some knife designs and there are a number of Custom Designs out there that look exceptionally good in Orange.

Most of the H1's in orange would be pretty stunning IMHO. Great visibility and safety colour.

Regards,

BRIAN
