The other "orange" thread prompted me to post these pics. The Ka-Bar was just given to me by my father. It was his go to knife for deer and bird hunting for many years until I gave him a folder 20 years ago. I don't know where he got it but I'd imagine it was 2nd hand. He just turned 80 in December and is unloading some gear. I always thought it was a super cool knife.... The other is my Gene Wiseman folder that has been in the EDC rotation since I got it maybe 10 years ago and it's been a great knife. Always liked orange scales....... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/3uff0YR.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/fJgwWnD.jpg) And one of the cool logo on the sheath..... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/M38X77K.jpg)

Great combo.
If that old knife could tell stories.

I've never seen the orange handle on a knife that old before.
That sheath is awesome.

When I buy factory folders, I get orange if available. Last month I got an SOG SEAL XR Flipper Knife 3.9" Black TiNi S35VN Clip Point Blade, Black GRN Handles - XR Lock It only comes in black. So I put a square inch piece of fluorescent pink duct tape on each side, so I can find it if I drop it. That sticky tape adition is reversible, as is the modification to closing I made with an Aluminum liner. But the mod to the flipper lever is not going back. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/118820.jpg) To keep the blade from locking closed after I modified the flipper lever [causing an unintended consequence], I made a partial liner that adjusts that closing so the lock cannot lock the blade folded.

So this morning I'm slicing veggies for an omelet and all of a sudden it dawns on me........more orange! The Victorinox paring knife is a favorite of mine and many here I know. Some old timers might remember the ash tray from the 70's........................  ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/dAAuvag.jpg)

Very nice pair of knives. The KaBar sure is something special. Don't presently own any orange knives and while admiring everyones beauties I know I have to remedy that.
