True, but Lime Green just doesn't evoke the same macho image as Toxic Green, even if it looks the same.
Are you carrying a USN catcherman or are you just happy to see me? :P
Jokes about macho USN knives aside lighter colors tend to be more polarizing. If you build a knife in black, navy blue, forest green, etc some people will love it and the rest could probably learn to live with it because they want the steel. If you do up a knife in lets say lemon yellow some people will LOVE it and won't be able to live without it, but others will think its so revolting they won't buy it even if they love the steel. While I'm not thrilled with forest green, I'd buy that knife because I like the steel. Make sense?
Just as an actual example show me a S90V para2 for less than 200$ thats in stock somewhere? Can't find one? Not surprised. Now look at the gray para2 in CTS-20CP, which by all accounts is a slightly better steel. Those buggers are still all over the place, and while all the well priced ones are gone, the price gougers still have 'em. I'd bet in no small part its because the color was polarizing. That light gray was just too bright, if they'd done it in a shade of deep gunmetal I'd bet you'd have a lot harder time finding one available now.
