multi-colored handles

John V · #21

I vote for dark red, almost maroon, or a dark blue, something subdued but still different from black.

Thanks Sal!

YES! blue Delica's I'll buy three, 2 for me (plain + serrated) and one for my girlfriend, in the absence of a blue handled Matriarch.

For new colors, I too think a dark blue or dark red would be best.

Ferrari Red... Guess its impossible, but this colour sets everything apart.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I think the dark blue is good as well as the red color, just stay away from that teal on the Dyad Jr.- didn't like that one.

I'd like to see Enduras & Delicas in Emergency Orange,(like the Rescue model) red and blue.

Hi Sal-

I'd also agree with those who suggest orange for the Endura since lots of fire/rescue/boat types carry the Endura.

I'm also thinking maybe desert tan, forest green or a dark blue. These colors will match a lot of uniforms and are subdued yet attractive. (I'm assuming the Delica will be a lighter shade of blue like the 'Everest' Delica.)

Thanks for the chance to suggest!

The older Endura did come in olive drab for a short time.

Thanks Fozzy for backing me up on the orange handle Endura, I am a Firefighter and carry an Endura every day(along with a few others)
I know alot of guys I work with who also would like to see one with Orange handles.

Sal,
Just wondering if all this response could maybe warrant the release of some colored handles soon?<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hi Chris (CJF). When you sat soon, what does that mean to you (or other forumites)?

I reality, little can happen in less than 90 days after the "go ahead" is given. Add QC & shipping (another 15 - 30 days) and that is soon.

That's good enough for me, as long as there are plans to release multi-colored handles in the near future I'm Happy<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Ok I vote for a wide array of colors for the endura. Red,blue, olive drab. But I also would like to say that a red Native with the volcano grip would be very cool to own.

Purely from a unique standpoint, a white handled Endura with a silver clip would be cool.

Practically, orange would be great. There are certain things the sheepsfoot blade on my Rescue just can't do. And high-visibility for SAR and fire activities would make me happy.

As an aside, if I recall correctly, wasn't Ernie Emerson going to release the Commander in a series of different color handles? Desert sand, green, and black? All I see advertised these days are black. Did he ever do production, and if so did the color-handled models go bye-bye due to lack of demand?

While a rainbow of Spydies would be nifty, got to support Sal's decisions when it comes to revenue based on widescale ELU demand (even if it is black).

I would have to say that red is out. We have reserved red for trainers, except for the Ladybug. We wouldn't want to0 use that color on a "live" blade.

Sal, about this next run of blue delica's. Will this be a limited run or part of regular future runs. In other words, will I have to preorder, check the forums regularly, or don't worry as there will be suffucient opportunity to get them? Thank you in advance.
