The blues...

#1

Post by JRinFL »

Is anyone else really enjoying the new blue colors coming from Spyderco? I especially like the blue on the K390s and the SPY27s. Both look so much better in person than in the catalog pictures.

I applaud the ever expanding range of colors in Spyderco’s palette. :spyder:

Blue isn't one of my favorite colors but I really like the Spy27 blue. It reminds me a lot of the original ZDP blue (is it the same?).

While blue isn't one of my favorite colors by a bit, I do seem to have a growing number of blue Spydercos, including a blue ZDP-189 Stretch (though I don't have any SPY27's to compare), blue UKPK in S110V, blue BentoBox Delica 4 in M390, and a couple of blue Dragonflys - one the turquoise blue with S30V and the other the K390 blue.

I say I don't prefer blue, but... lol...

I do like the K390 blue, and the Stretch ZDP189 blue most out of the growing number of blue Spydies I have. It was for the blade steel(s) that I got all of them, not for the handle color, lol...

BLUE? my K390 is light green.
In general I like blue of all kinds, and lots of other colors. (fancy that- check my username) I have a light blue Tenacious, bought along with a green one. The green was more popular so they made more of them, now my budget blue knife is more rare. I once owned a light blue PM2 but traded it away. I have a dark blue Manix2 LW in S110V and a PM2 in blurple.

The K390 blue is tied with Maxamet grey for my favorite FRN color. I definitely plan on getting more.

Some people are color blind and do not see colors normally. That affects their perceptions of color. Also, some cultures have traditionally not had a name for the color blue and will call it light black or some other color.

I love the blue colors coming from Spyderco. Blue is my favorite over all, but I like most colors. I wish they would give us more earth tone blues.

My father would have said the same.:) It’s definitely a hue that some will see as green. For most of us it is blue.

Ha, I almost said something similar. I have many blue knives considering it’s not often my first choice. I guess maybe I am partial to blue...hmm.

I'd prefer almost anything to standard black. That said, almost all of mine are black, and it doesn't bother me at all.
