I would vote no if it helped keep our prices down.

I think it is great to offer options. And if Dan can provide orange glow handles to those who like that feature for easy to find without affecting our pricing, I can appreciate that reasoning.

***** But, personally, if I want my knife easy to find, I like how the SAR guys do it. [color:"yellow"] [/color] Still gives you ability to find a dropped knife without making your knife look ugly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

They sell nylon cord and webbing in BRIGHT glow colors and even with Glow material now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Just put a grommet in a piece of bright webbing and attach with cord lanyard or similar. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Plus, for easier to find knives, a SATIN blade helps a LOT!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Personally, I think orange and similar Rainbow Skittles colors are WAY too ugly for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> Black is the ONLY Res-C color I like. Period.

I will have to just hunt for my knives if I drop in the leaves. Or use a bright lanyard, cord, webbing, tag, etc. of some sort.

Honestly, I dont' even personally like my lanyards in those colors. But, I think it is a WAY better option than owning an ugly knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I have actually dropped and had a hard time finding knives on multiple occassions.

Luckily, so far, I have always found. Had a close call with my Black M2 Benchmade 710. It is all black when closed and hard to find. I dropped it at night and couldn't find till the next day and took 5 people looking for about 30 minutes to find - and that was just in my brother-in-law's back yard - about 1/2 acre. We had been clearing blown over trees from last years hurricane. Luckily, I knew it had been dropped somewhere in his yard.

I was getting very sick about it till we found.

But, I will still stick with colors I like. And I like natural colors.

And as much as I consider myself practical, sometimes aesthetics are relevant to my choices. I like and collect knives for many reasons. Simple pure tool function is a high appreciation. But, something about ugly colors ruins a tool for me - even if there is a practical justification for the color.

Rainbow skittles colors and a bunch of the new G10/micarta colors Jerry is introducing are aweful to me.

I like natural colored micarta and G10 handles: blacks, browns, greens, tans, and similar. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

And SATIN blades every time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
