Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
All Black would be nice!
Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Well, I said orange because orange is by far the best "color" option with black not being counted as a color and yellow because yellow is by far the second best "color" and dark blue because a classy dark color option is good to have also.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
I've switched my vote to OTHER after a little thought: I think a really PALE colour for a gent's knife (as the Chap is) works best...The pale colours denote a knife that isn't going to use for yard work and always looks less threatening in the 'gent's' environment.
Something like a white, bone or beige would look really nice....even that tan that is used for the military Native already would look really swish :)
With a suit and tie, a pale shade of FRN will work wonderfully

Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Hear me out.... how about some variation of red, white and blue, possibly in a Zome fashion.
Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Burgundy would be perfect. Dark blue after that.

I really like the denim blue scales on The Kahr Arms Delica......wish I knew the right combo of RIT dye colors to turn my regular blue one to the denim color. After that, I'd choose dark blue or a deep gray.

I wish the color that Jazz originally requested on the Wharnn D4 marigold was an option, but voted Delica Blues

TBD, that would go under the yellow option along with an explanation.

Toxic green!!
Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Never Summer Red!
Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Dark blue, dark red(not burgundy - it's ugly), or tomato red (bright red with an orange hint).
- best wishes, Jazz.

Yes, I'd still like a Delica wharnie goldenrod yellow.twinboysdad wrote: Still hoping your marigold makes it to a production knife

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
The more I think about it the more I like British Racing Green. Would that violate the handle color coding though? Is BRG reserved for ZDP-189?

The pale tan of the M4 Manix 2 sprint would look pretty great.demoncase wrote:I've switched my vote to OTHER after a little thought: I think a really PALE colour for a gent's knife (as the Chap is) works best...The pale colours denote a knife that isn't going to use for yard work and always looks less threatening in the 'gent's' environment.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
This sounds great to me - I also think a pale blue or seafoam green would be striking.demoncase wrote:I've switched my vote to OTHER after a little thought: I think a really PALE colour for a gent's knife (as the Chap is) works best...The pale colours denote a knife that isn't going to use for yard work and always looks less threatening in the 'gent's' environment.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
I still think black should be the default release. Then other colors can be made available.

This gets my vote!!! :cool: JohnReject wrote:How about denim blue with a tumbled blade, to the point where it is almost a blue/grey.
A gent’s knife for the gent at the end of the working week and is in blue jeans over the weekend.
