Surprised at how unpopular black is. It's my go to, with green being an occasional carry.

Re: Poll: Favorite FRN/FRCP color
Orange for a lot of things, blue for knives, so I voted orange and blue. I'd especially love denim blues, or a return of the Stretch blue.
Re: Poll: Favorite FRN/FRCP color
Blue and grey are my favorites. Really love the grey on the Maxamet Native 5.

How about a knife in Vantablack. If not familiar with it a quick google will show you some cool stuff. Not sure if it would work for this application but would be kinda cool as a collectors piece.
BTW I voted blue in poll. I do like a variety of colors. I have a purple Endura but really like the Blurple color. Orange is nice for hiking camping knives.
Re: Poll: Favorite FRN/FRCP color
I voted blue and green. From old ZDP Stretch blue to smurf Delica blue, I like them all. BRG to Delica green, all good. The toxic green is practical for finding the knife on a pier, but a bit loud otherwise.

My Native 5 S110V looks just perfect, so that's my choice. Second is black. Third is a nice visible yellow... say, how about goldenrod?

Re: Poll: Favorite FRN/FRCP color
I think that goldenrod looks good. I like most colors.
I actively avoid black. I have black knives but I wish they weren't. It isn't enough to get me to pass on a knife I want but it is a factor in my decisions. I would rather carry a pink knife than a black one. :eek:

Not too sure on goldenrod Darby, but I'd rather a pink knife over a black one any day!bearfacedkiller wrote:I think that goldenrod looks good. I like most colors.

Re: Poll: Favorite FRN/FRCP color
If my wife leaves her pink Native5LW laying around I'll throw it in my pocket for a day. It just means I like boobs. Seriously though, my mother is and my grandmother was a breast cancer survivor. I have kind of embraced the pink thing. :) I am very grateful that Spyderco makes pink knives and donates proceeds from them.
I think part of my aversion to black is that I do not have a tactical bone in my body. That is what I see when I see black knives. I am much more of a country boy so camo on the other hand makes me happy. Not in the Military sense but rather because I have been a hunter and outdoorsman all my life. I need a zome Delica. They look camo.

Re: Poll: Favorite FRN/FRCP color
Desaturated colors are nice, such as the foliage green models and original zdp allotment that evil d posted, and the bluegreen micro dyad was a great bluegreen that didnt get its 15 minutes. Too many 'obvious' colors in the line up imnsho, so i tend to prefer the shades of grey and black that are offered lately. But who cares right? It's like blade centering, its not funtional then to **** with it, other than for visibility issues.
