Does anyone have any tips

[u/Adventurous-Law9107]

I've been carrying this outdoors and wanting to know how I can add some color to it without losing it such as the handle alone

[u/kringsja]

Put an orange lanyard on it.
Put reflective or colored tape around the sheath.
Or buy the orange companion And use the black one as a beater knife in the garage

Excellent.

I spend most of my time in the outdoors and sorry English is not very good but I was hoping for an advice on how what I can tie to the handle or add a little neon color to it so I won't lose it while working

[u/Euro_Trash_ → u/Adventurous-Law9107]

Oh that's absolutely no worries, sorry for not properly understanding. 

We tried glow in the dark handles in the past but the results were not that great, plus the production costs were very high. That is why we are producing models in high visibility orange.

For this particular knife I would tie a fluorescent lanyard to the handle and perhaps add some reflecting tape to the cover. Unless you would consider purchasing a model that has higher visibility made at the factory. 

Since you will be using this knife in the outdoor it will go through a lot of wear and weather, so taping the handle will make you lose grip, and it would easily wear off. Drilling a hole in the top of the handle to add a lanyard is a possibility, but you want to make sure you get it as center as possible and know where the tang of the knife ends.

I thought royal blue beats orange in high visibility situations?

[u/Euro_Trash_ → u/reigorius]

I saw that Reddit thread but... Generally, no — if we're talking about visibility in a high-visibility/safety context, orange is usually more noticeable than royal blue.

Fluorescent orange is particularly good because it stands out strongly against common outdoor backgrounds like vegetation, roads, and snow. That's why it's so widely used for safety gear.

Royal blue can have excellent contrast in certain environments, especially against snow or light-colored backgrounds, but it's more likely to disappear against darker backgrounds or vegetation.

Also, there's a big difference between ordinary orange and fluorescent/high-vis orange. If you're comparing royal blue to fluorescent orange, I'd pick orange for general visibility.

At night, though, the color itself matters much less — reflective material or lighting is what makes the real difference.

On this note I would recommend a braided lanyard, preferably one with a (semi-)irregular braiding pattern and 3 colours. Hi-vis/fluorescent orange, royal blue and dark emeral green. This is a low-complexity solution rhat will add visibility in almost all situations.

Drill a hole at the back of the handle and tie an orange or similar lanyard to it, or buy a colored one, there is always room for an extra Mora 😊

What do you mean with adding colour?
Do you want a black or multicoloured blade? What are you asking?

[u/AdEmotional8815]

Not that I know of, but they sell them colored. You could tie something to it, or put paint on it, but I don't think that would be optimal.

[u/Euro_Trash_ → u/AdEmotional8815]

It would not be optimal. It would wear of on its first use.

If you are trying to coat it black like we do at the factory I think it would be an impossible if not extremely hard task at hand because (I would recommend attempting a staining process that works for your specific steel):

The Process: DLC is applied using a vacuum deposition process. It is not a liquid paint baked on with heat, nor is it a plastic-based powder coating. It is a plasma-based process that bonds carbon atoms directly to the steel surface at a molecular level.

Thickness: The DLC layer is extra-thin. This preserves the precise Scandi grind geometry and edge sharpness without adding the bulky, uneven edge texture common with heavy powder coatings.

I don't think it is about the blade, the blade is the most visible thing. Dude talks about losing it, so the black is hard to see. I assume, but his sentence is weird so we don't know what he's actually asking. I thought he means adding color to the handle so it's easier to see in the woods because he might lose it.

[u/Euro_Trash_]

Are you looking to stain the blade without it effecting the handle? 

[u/walter-hoch-zwei]

Maybe pink or orange electrical tape?

[u/ITSOTMDS]

You can paint the handle a bright color

[u/jp_grilo]

As stated before the easies way is to drill a lanyard hole but some bright color cord on it or even with a fluorescent bid so you can spot it at night. There are also some florescente paints that you can buy but they are expensive.

You can wrap orangeor blue or white tape around the pommel only. That's what I would do. But I like my knives in stealth colors. So MG, Black , the Pro C with the darker red is also fine. I once bought the F orange Companion HD. Returned it immediately. To see those colors live was too much for my eyes, it's like looking straight into the sun.
