What types of colors of FRN do you prefer? I like more earth tones. I like a dusky blue, dark flat earth, coyote, olive drab, flat earth olive, earthy orange, gray, etc.

However, some like bright colors, and that is fine. I do like bright blue. But many people prefer simple black.

Earth tones on non-Salts and bright neon on Salts. DLC blades always.

Need more earth tone scales with DLC blades. Olive Drab and Foliage Green both a great with DLC.

I would like White FRN with DLC as well on some models.

And Neon with DLC on Salts like the USN exclusives.

Of the FRN I have I like ZDP-189 British Racing Green and Salt Series Yellow. :)

S110v Dark Blue, ZDP 189 British Racing Green, and the VToku2 Blue are my current favorites. Maxamet gray is nice too. I'd really like to see some more translucent FRCP.

I'm fine with black, although most any dark (especially earth tone) color is good too. I also like the Salt yellow.

I don't care for orange.

I answered yes....or I would've if that was one of the choices. I was going to choose bright colors but I also like some earth tones and I even like basic black.

Yes! This please. I'm really liking my translucent blue Manix LW. Need some new translucent colors. Forest Green, Burgundy, Smoke, Crystal Clear, etc.

Black is always good but I like darker/muted colors in general so I voted earth tones. I really like the old pale blue they originally used for ZDP before the British Racing Green.

Like the bright orange on the H1 spyderhawk, the dark blue on the bbs pe lil matriarch, and the light blue/grey (almost lavender) on the super blue caly jr.

I really like FRCP better. The scales on my Manix LW are nicer than the FRN to me. Having said that the British racing green on the ZDP 189 knives is a good color.

If you gave me five choices I'd pick:


black
black
black
black
OD green

There isn't any other color I'd rather have. I'll dye most anything else.

I prefer bright FRN colors. I have yellow, blue, orange, green. BRG and black I also have, but not by choice; they’re just okay. Even have a red trainer. All except the yellow and blue are Delicas!

I like bright colors because they tend to make a knife less intimidating to non knife people. Bright colors also make it easier to find a knife that you've laid down and perhaps misplaced.

I voted bright colors, but earth tones & darker colors are good too. Anything is better than black.

Yes a clear smoke would be awesome and clear green, purple. Oh the great translucent colors.

White FRN would be my #1 choice.
If you don't like it, there is no easier color to dye.

Grey and Tan for me.

I do like translucent and the brighter colors would look best. However, I was only thinking of the solid colors and FRN is not clear. That would be FRCP and for another poll.

I like all three of those color types and in no way can I say I like one of the color types better than the others.

Don't think you can really ever go wrong with basic black and think it is most appropriate for the base offering.

FRN can be translucent.
