Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Hi Folks,
Sal asked for a Poll on scale colors for the new upcoming Chaparral LW. He said he did not want to do black, so I left it out of the poll. Please describe the color you would like to see. Brown, for example, can be UPS brown or dark chocolate. You can choose 3 and can change your mind and revote, later.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
I actually like the darker colors on knife scales, so I would like to see a dark charcoal (a tad darker than the ULW K390), deep indigo blue, or a very dark burgundy/oxblood.
What would you guys like?

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Toxic green sounds fun. Otherwise, blue sounds good.
Time for another :spyder:!

I chose dark blue. It was a hard decision. This is my most looked forward to knife

My favorite is Delica brown
Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
I said gray earlier, but I totally forgot about toxic green...it's time for a new bright color, IMO there are too many browns and blues and other such colors at the moment..I vote toxic green.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
I voted other because I'd prefer a dark green to toxic, but now that I'm looking closer to the options, burgundy might be a nice second choice if dark green isn't possible. Do we know if it'll be the regular bidirectional texture FRN yet?
Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Voted dark blue as well! I felt that dark blue is a suitable color for a "gentleman's" folder.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
I think for a gents folder, a more understated color (a charcoal gray, dark blue, or burgundy) would go well.
Safety Orange or Toxic Green would be kind of fun, but I think for this one I'd personally rather have a more subtle color.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
A light "saddle tan" shade of brown would be my first choice. A coppery brown would be my second. Dark blue, a bit darker than the '03 BF Spyderhawk and SF Native 3, or a dark but bright green, like Benjamin Moore True Green, would be next.
Call it by it's other name, lime green, and it might make a nice ladies folder.murphjd25 wrote:You guys are right, toxic green doesn't really scream gents folder..hmm...I'd love one in micarta hehe

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
A nice shade of red- like the Never Summer Native would look lovely
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

Why would I want to be in a suit with my Chap and pull out some ghetto colored blade?

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
I didn't vote because I want dark green and it wasn't an option. I definitely DO NOT want toxic green.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
Translucent "smoke" gray would be awesome. I also like the idea of a dark British racing green. A bright "safety" red could be fun as well.

I voted for dark blue but I'd be up for any of these. Any shade of red would be great too.abbazaba wrote:Translucent "smoke" gray would be awesome. I also like the idea of a dark British racing green. A bright "safety" red could be fun as well.

Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
I also think a dark grey would be nice.
Re: Color Poll for the Chaparral Light Weight
In all honesty, I was hoping for a Blackout Chaparral. The Chap is for discretion and dress-up events, and the last thing I want is something bright sticking out of my slacks.
I chose dark blue and gray of those listed, but black FRN/blade/clip is my hope.
