Show Your True Colors - (SAKS ONLY)

[redsparrow]

In another thread it was pointed out that "real" Swiss Army knives are red. Generally speaking I'd have to agree, but there are exceptions. SAKs come in many colors and patterns, the Classic has an amazing variety available today. Let's see those, the exceptions to red. Could be school colors, team colors or just a color you like, an animal pattern, scenic pictures, souvenir knife, company logos... Post your SAKS of any pattern and any color but red. What do you have?

Here's a start.
Maize and Blue both Pioneers

I like that blue! Nice knife, thanks for showing it.
Congratulations on your 30 years together! (No small feat.)

All so cool and 14K gold really is a great color!

The scantily clothed woman on this one pretty much made me buy it. If SAK or dealers made more exclusives/limited editions with more sexy ladies on them I'd buy more of them. I'm getting two more of these as backup's (both probably engraved) because it has REALLY grown on me. Honestly never liked SAKs much. Tools always felt much more breakable than tools on my leathermans, and probably are. But, I've edc'd this for couple months. I've used everything except the toothpick plenty. I have been using the can opener nearly daily( since only can opener I have and used for over a year now have been on multitools) and I'm happily surprised it hasn't broken since pretty thin and fairly sharp and useable still. SAKs are much more durable than I ever thought and this particular model has really made me a believer in swiss army knives.

Are we talking 91mm and below? As we know the 08 soldiers issue is green & black.
I'm confused
Anyway

Good posting Mitch13.
For this thread's purpose, a SAK is a SAK from 58mm to 111mm. Wenger, Victorinox, Alox or Cellidor, even Nylon , whatever you have is welcome. Just wanted to see the variety of SAK scales that are out there.

When it comes to Alox, I’m a big fan of orange.



But I also wish knives with blue nylon scales were more common.

Just so I can’t be accused of not being open minded, I’ll humor ya

Here’s a couple of my silver Alox knives, a Lumberjack and a Micro Farmer, along with a little black classic SD, a Hunter and the US Combat(basically a blacked out Soldier). Now if you’re wondering about that other Classic SD, it’s not really red, it would prefer to self identify as blue

They came on that knife (a Waiter) from the factory. I can’t remember where I got it, but I do remember I jumped on it when I saw it.
