New Roadie Colors?

#1

Post by Doc Dan »

Sal, will we get any new Roadie colors?

If so, I'd like to request Dark Olive and Coyote.

I like the earth tones.

Still a great knife. I keep giving them away. Now that this COVID-19 mess has hit, we open packages outside and disinfect everything before bringing anything into the house. The Roadie is just the ticket for opening packages and mailers.

I would love to see new colors. What I’d really love to see is new material as well. Stagg or wood would be great. Clearly it would up the price but they’d sell. The Roadie is one of my favorite knives of all time.

Dark Olive and Burgundy would be awesome! Maybe sneak in some Elmax while you’re at it :D

I'll second this request. Olive and Coyote (or Flat Dark Earth maybe) are for sure my favorite colors.

Further, I think it'd be great to consider offering a range of colors like this for more knives. The Roadie, the Delica & Endura are offered in a few striking colors each, and I'd love to see this luxury afforded to other popular FRN models. I'm not sure how much it adds to the cost to carry another SKU, and I'm not sure how many people out there really just love Black, but I for one would always rather have either an earth tone or a bright friendly color on my EDC than Black.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Thank you. I cannot ask for more than that. Dark Olive is a pretty color.

Look at some of these variations:

An olive green would be nice. A darker blue would be nice as well.

Does that complexity decrease the simplicity? Not at all.

A Patriot blue or colonial blue would be cool.


My blue roadie is much darker than pictures on dealers sites led me to believe.

Thanks Doc for initiating this topic! It’s nice to see that Sal took your request and ran with it, even though there wasn’t a ton of popularity on here. It goes to show that good ideas don’t get over looked

Thank you Sal as well!

I’ll be picking up an Olive Green one as soon as they are available.

Thanks! I can't wait! Olive Drab first, then brown. These are amazing little cutters. I keep one hanging by the door for opening packages after we disinfect them. The knife is perfect for that. I also keep one on my keyring.
