I'm one of those getting pretty tired of black. On some knives it looks best, I guess, but I find myself liking almost any knife with some color to it.
I say go for the same bright red as the Snap-Its on AG Russell. I think it is hard to think of that color and weapon. Tool may be a reach, but that color -- to me -- suggests fun.

My choise from the Next Spyderco Forum Knife Thread,
So my choice in summary:
CALYPSO Jr., PLAIN Edge, Dark GREEN with White mother of pearl inlay.
If the choice goes to any other color, I'm still in, if the configuration is Calypso Jr. Plainedge.
I still think that this is the Next Generation of spyderco for EDC.

Hmmm, earlier in another thread I thought a Calypso Jr in Blue would be nice, but now I agree with a earlier suggestion here. A Calypso Jr. in dark blue or dark green would be great. A plain blade only, and nothing else. It would be a every day user and I dont want it to be too fancy that I wouldnt want to use it.
That looks pretty good, Chinook! I like the color of the handle, although any color would probably look cool.
Would Spyderco have to make a new mold for the inlayed handle though? If so, just a plain, colored handle might be a better bet. It would be more cost effective and have a better chance of actually getting made.

Blimey, a bloke goes away skiing for a week and look what happens <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. I guess I've lost my "troublemaker tag" <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.
One of the original prototypes of the Calypso Jr. was in burgundy FRN and it looked fabulous. I've been lobbying for it ever since but had given up as sales of the knife didn't seem to warrant a special run. However it would be an excellent choice (IMNSHO) for a forum knife. I'm not sure if an inlay would be possible but some laser wtching on the blade would be nice. I don't have James' original photo (do you Chinook?) but here is one I cropped from another scan.

Don't worry that the world might end tomorrow, in Australia it's tomorrow already.
