How has the 204P been treating you? These were such a great combo.

It has been great, so far, of course. It has not left my pocket (though I am mostly around the house). I use it everyday. KW might come out with another run of these, they sold so fast. They are planning some other Spyderco knives in this combo, too.

I like those type of colors too Doc. But I'm kind of weird in a sense because I'm one of the few people here that also like the "Nuclear" colors too. It sure makes them easy to find if you misplace them.

I remember when they were making the Golden CO NATIVE with a tan color. I always thought that was nice as well. White is one that I really don't like however because they just get dirty looking too easy.

I like bright orange, yellow, and the new green on the Salts. That makes the knives easy to find. However, for most carry knives, I like earth tones: shades of green (olive drab, FDE olive, sage, forest green, foliage green), blue (country blue, colonial blue, cadet blue, etc.), orange (burnt, persimmon, fall foliage), flat dark earth, brown (especially really dark chocolate), gray, etc.

I feel like the catalog needs more shades of brown and tan, maybe some olive colors.

Yea, tan. Lots of tan.

Yea, I would be interested in the same config with the Endura.

Tan/FDE scales + black DLC/TiCN blades should sell pretty well.

Nice watch too :)

Thanks!. It is old. You can see the hour markers are brown. I had to replace the hands and had some work done because of a leaky battery. It is around 26 years old, or so.

I’m with you, Doc. Foliage green on the G10 dragonfly is my favorite so far. And my earth brown pm2. Here’s hoping for more KW forest green releases.

Not to hijack but here is my 14 y/o SMP:

Doc, I agree. Forest green is my favorite spydie color, although I like the g10 color a little better than the frn translation. I do love the fun unique colors like purple and teal, but earthy tones in general are great.

I could go along with that. However I would also like to see a wider selection of the nuclear colors i.e. orange, Yellow, bright nuclear green, Teal ect, The Earth Tone colors add a bit of class to the selection>> the nuclear colors are "worker friendly" and easy to find if misplaced.

Spyderco used to "color code" certain models. The first Spyderhawk models that came out had the full Spyderedge in black and the plain Edge Spyderhawk in blue. I actually also liked the color coding that they were doing at that time.

I got mine in the early to maybe mid 1990's. I am guessing around 1993 or so, 94 at the latest. So it is 26 or 27 years old. I had a R...x but it was a piece of junk and would lose 8 hours just mowing the lawn. So, I took it back and got this Seamaster and it is my favorite watch, period. I need to replace the face, but that costs a lot of money. I'll do it one day.


Back to topic, more earth tones in the catalog as regular production items would be great.

I want a K390 Urban reissue with dark earthy blue scales. I am selfish because I love my Urban K390 but I don't carry it much anymore because I am afraid of losing it and I have no back up. So, this would solve my problem.

Something like this blue earth:

Grey, charcoal, and cool grey, please and thank you.

Good choice for an example Doc. That forest green is a green done right. Green is an odd color for me, I really like certain shades (forest, emerald) but really dislike others (OD, Jade).

Earth tones I think are a good compromise between inoffensive but boring (black and grey) and brightly colored but polarizing (toxic green, electric blue, salt yellow).
