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.

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.

Hear me out.... how about some variation of red, white and blue, possibly in a Zome fashion.

Burgundy would be perfect. Dark blue after that.

Please Sal.

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.

Dark blue, dark red(not burgundy - it's ugly), or tomato red (bright red with an orange hint).
- best wishes, Jazz.

Still hoping your marigold makes it to a production knife

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.

This sounds great to me - I also think a pale blue or seafoam green would be striking.

I still think black should be the default release. Then other colors can be made available.

A gent’s knife for the gent at the end of the working week and is in blue jeans over the weekend.
