Spyderco, It is time for the Burgundy FRN bonanza!

[FCM415]

Awesome burnt orange? check
My old standby BRG? check
Shades of gray? check
Powder/police blue? Retired

No, not sheeple "scary" bright red....

A maroon/burgundy (that is as far from brown as possible) of year's passed would be really nice imo on the FRN Chaparral, the Ladybug-Endura lineage, and other retired sprints.

Police blue like in the old ZDP189 FRN's were the bees knees as well!

I'm gonna have to pass, never cared for that color. I would have bought my first Spyderco forum knife if the (S90V) native they were selling was any other color. If I recall, they didn't sell too well either. I suspect the color had something to do with it.

More red like on the never summer native would be welcome though!

I've never cared much about what color a knife is but burgundy is one of the few colors that would actually put me off buying a knife.

Burgundy??

Day before yesterday. I try to take care of myself...eat right, stay out of the sun, you know.

Must be me then because I think the color looks great on previous Spydercos.

Too funny! :)

According to Sal, regular Red shades are the last of the main colors to be used mainly because of the negative connotation so they serve as the training knife color. I think there's a market for people who like the color though.

Want more Brown? eck... Already have different shades of most colors already also.

How about burnt yellow for your fishing Salts

I quite like burgundy if it tends towards maroon! :)

[Slumblor]

I like the color and like the looks of the past ones. I think it would work well in the frn chap.

Burgundy, maroon... not very nice colors to me. I'm carrying my burgundy Meercat today, and I really dislike the color.

I like the red g-10 used on the Persian. I like the Native 5 Never Summer red too. I also like burgundy as long as it's not veering into maroon. More reddish, less brown for me, thanks.

I'm surprised that burgundy is such polarizing color...
I like it, but not enough to expect Spyderco to risk it... :-/

(Edit for spelling)

[Anubisman]

I really like my Never Summer Red Native. The color has grown on me.

[SpyderEdgeForever]

I would like it. Good idea. Make it in Endura handles.

[Doc Dan]

I do not like maroon at all. If the burgundy is not maroon, but actually a dark wine like it is supposed to be, then I like it if it is Micarta.

I didnt mention it because Spyderco tends to shy away from the material but burgundy dark red micarta is very nice.

[FCM415]

Whoa quite polarizing indeed. Like a love or hate as compared to love or neutral like most other colors.

I really would love a FRN Chap in a color like the burgundy Caly Jr.

[FCM415]

That never summer red a few of you mention is very much in the realm of what I want... A dark red handled Spydie line.

I know the description of that native is "bright red" but it clearly isnt. At least in the pics I just reviewed. My wife's Mini Cooper is bright red lol.
