If you were going to get a knife and wanted to save some cash, I am glad that I can help you. I have liked orange for many, many years (lifetime SF Giants fan, here - rooting since 1975, so not a bandwagon fan) and I like the look of the black blade as well (just like your choice).
That knife you picked looks cool, but I would be nervous to lose it in the dirt, The added bonus of a "bright" colored knife (to me) is that it stands out against a variety of backgrounds (one friend has a fluorescent yellow knife he uses when camping).
You're welcome?

Really, I *really* tried to resist. But I've been looking for a new knife. If you didn't provide a code, I might have made it.
I got a freebie from a vendor, but it was cheap and the clip was on the wrong side and wrong end.
That orange is the new black. I really like it but finally went for something more subtle. I prefer the tanto over drop or clip points, but theirs didn't do anything for me. If I'm ever in OR again, I'll get the Barrage in orange/black and maybe yellow/black. (Tax and shipping to CA).
I only have two fixed blade knives, one my old Ka-Bar, the other an M-9. Of all my folders, only one doesn't have a serrated portion- my old 110 Buck. I still have it somewhere. If you ever have to cut nylon, like a rope or seatbelt, or a line, you'll appreciate even a tiny serrated blade portion.
So, uh, thanks. I think.
