That's what I would like to se and buy- tan bladed and tan handled scrappers of all shapes and sizes.
A tan scrapper 6, a tan bowie, a tan street scrapper.....
Maybe even some black and tan for variety.

Sure! ..I'll take it!

Tan Father? The George Hamilton model?

I don't really like the tan myself, but it's nice to have some variety. I'd rather see OD than tan.

Yeah! OD! or camo pattern maybe..

Yeah, that'd be cool too. Everyone seemed to love the OD RW. I think it'd go over really well.

You can have any couler you want as long as it is black!
Henry Ford

As long as it is SR-77 it could be Blue and Black...I actuallt like that color combo...(FBM)

Not really... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

From HERE:

No one really knows if Henry Ford ever said that the buying public could have Model T Fords "in any color, so long as it's black", but it is commonly attributed to him. While this saying is true for the model years after 1913, earlier cars were available in Brewster Green, Red, Blue and Gray. In fact, in the first year, Model T Fords were not available in Black at all, but only in Gray, Red and Brewster Green.

seeing some of the popular kydex colors: black, olive drab, chocolate brown, camo.. i think it'd be kinda neat to have a blade/handle combo that would complement some of those!

OD and black would be a cool combination, but tan would still rule!

Can anybody comment on how the Tan handles on CTs & BRs hold up to discoloration?
It would seem to me their light color would get grungy-looking real fast.

ie i have a light-colored shift knob that takes on the pigment of my leather gloves!
i guess it's not very anti-hygroscopic? (i forget the word)

They do get grungy looking VERY quickly, but clean easily....so it is all about maintance.

Worth knowing GF! I remember reading (official) blurb to the effect that dirt just fell off res-C due to it's totally non-absorbent qualities! Just as well it scrubs up easy..

My satin battlerat handle still looks like it is brand new. however, gravel is correct here, it is all about maintenance. i tend to take very good care of my stuff, regardless of what it is. My 1989 Mustang,for example, which I bought new, still looks new.

As you’ve probably seen from my pics, my BR has seen plenty of use, and the handle looks fine. It will get dirt on it, but it’s easy to clean. I use the same thing to clean the handle that I do to clean the blade. I got one of those plastic handled rectangle $1 sink scrubbers from the cleaning section at Walmart. Not the larger rougher textured one, the smaller finer texture one. Then I use hot water and dish soap. Here’s another tip. I bought one of the small travel shampoo bottles from the pharmacy department to fill with dishsoap to keep with my knife cleaning/maintance stuff.

And the word you’re thinking of is “hydroscopic”. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

ahh... thanks guys.. that's good to know.

i noticed the Micarta on my HRLM will also get darkish/black in places.. and it comes off easy with soap, hot water & toothbrush..

That's why I like my black res-C, zero maintainance to keep it pretty!

Camo Res-C would be awesome! Picture this in camo.

I like the black too. But, how about gray or green?

Bubba.. hmm.. i've seen camo blades w/ different shades..
But i don't think i've ever seen multi-color handles before..

It would be.... Incredible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I am not much into Camo. But, I think gray and green,as well as tan, would look awesome.

it's funny.. i see folks agonizing over what color combos to get on their new Badger Attack TACs over on Bladeforums..

in a way.. i'm kinda glad ScrapYard & Swamp doesn't give too many choices.. cuz it makes The choice all the more easier!

I like colors.
