I would prefer any darker colour (please not light gray G10 like the 20cp PM2).

How about lightning strike CF, with a GB style black clip?

Truth is, I'd probably buy it whatever the colour.

Navy or perhaps a dark tan.

I would prefer some colour other than black, but I will take anything so long as it is not titanium or CF as though would make the knife far too expensive for me.

Good timing Chuck. Thanx. We're discussing that now. I think there is also some discussion about making it a forum knife. Eric's handling the projedct.

Sage green or desert tan. Or a nice shade of brown.

in order of preference:

1- the upcoming fluted titanium
2- carbon fiber of any sort
3- the dark grey G10 that appears to be coming on the new Jester sprint

(aside from any of these I have to go with the general mood of most others in this thread and hope for any sort of darker, muted color...I'm not a big fan of the flamboyant scales)


all that being said, I would have no problem with a classy "boring" black.

A subdued deep red or navy blue.

Are Sal and Eric actually considering S110V?

I don't think it makes sence to be black, when the regular S35vn is black.

Just my opinion.

That would be very cool. a deep red sounds good to me, be it in G10, CF or FRN.

I don't say this often but please no!
A forum knife for me (and I bet I'm not the only one...) would be a pure collectors piece, and S110V would be such a waste on a paper weight. :(
Now just a sprint with S110V woudln't leave my pocket. :D

Voted for black. I've yet to see another color of CF that doesn't look gaudy, and aside from the polished red on the Sprint Persian, none of the other colors of G-10 Spyderco has used have appealed to me.

WHAT?

I was reading through this thinking it was just another wantie thread that'll never go anywhere. S110v? YOWZA. I voted boring black because it'd be acceptable to everyone, although to be fair I bet peel ply CF would be even more palatable. ;) Honestly though you could make the Native 5 (a knife I'm already not entirely in love with because I'm not such a fan of the mid-lock) in frothy vomit Pepto-Bismol pink and I'd still buy it just to get the S110V. :D


*edit*
I just had a brilliant idea. Lets do it in lightning strike CF and unicorn ivory. :p

Now your talking. Thanks for this Sal!

for the vote; I would be happy with anything, but prefer something other than black. I honestly would want a dark green or even foliage green.
Or maybe it would be good to do a light color so we can dye to out choice. a green shade or red would be my first choices.
