New G-10 Color

#1

Post by catamount »

A while back Sal said he was thinking of doing another custom G-10 color.

As I recall, Navy Blue and Desert Tan were the winners in a poll.

Which do you prefer?

It's Desert Tan not Dessert. Sorry about the mispelling in the poll, I don't know how to change it :(

I voted for tan, but I would like to see some more orange as well. The tan would be to close to FG for me. I really like FG though. :D

Wow..tough choice. I really like both.

Given that I wear blue BDU's at work and blue jeans when I'm working around the house or riding horses, I'll have to go with Navy Blue.

I agree. I find the Orange G10 very appealing. I have a feeling it's reserved for the "Slippits" (UKPK,Urban)? I'd definitely like to see more. ;)

Smurf and Dodger Blue G10 is great too. Wouldn't mind a come back. :D

I'd like to see more colors in the poll. I would also like to see more specific colors.

We'd like to make more G-10. All of our G-10 is custom made (more layers for greater strength and to compensate for nested liners) so colors need to be specific.

We've got black, dark green, blue, orange and natural. Then we make custom, foliage green, digital camo.

We're ready for another color.

Is purple still out of the question? (asked very timidly, wincing, hoping he does not get smacked upside the head...)

Also, what color is "natural"?

Pantone PMS 655 is what I'd call "Navy Blue".

Here is some natural G11 that has been polished, I think they would be similar in color but am not 100%. In certain lights the G11 almost looks glow in the darkish.

Personally I think tan is too close to foliage green.

Here are the colors I would like to see in G10.

I like Orange on some knives, but not others.

What I really like in G10 is the mixed colors: Orange/Black, Blue/Black, Green/Black, and Red/Black.

Hey thanks for the pic!

Wow, imagine GITD G-10! Wouldn't that be a hoot...you'd never lose your knife at night! (And the enemy could see you coming a mile away!)

Is sliver any different than light grey?

Yes and no... I would love gray G-10.

As for silver G-10, check out the Mike Snody Benchmade 210 for the silver tweed G-10... And imagine that on a Native or Caly III.

Tan... or... not...

I chose Tan, because between a dark blue and desert tan, I'd lean toward the tan.

However, give me burgundy or dark brown and I'm sold!!!
