thanks for the suggestions.

hey, I have a BK7, still no DE though. Guess I'm just not cool enough yet. LOL, I tried wearing a Buck nighthawk upside down on a vest when they first came out lo many years ago. Not the most comfortable position to wear it and the BK7 is even bigger than that.

I do have a frame with it, but I wo't be using it. tire cover is a good idea but I haven't seen any that comes in a hi-vis color.

I've thought about the paint / dye situation and I've come to the same conclusion with Nicodemus/ironraven. A raincover in a good color is probably a better choice over all.

I will probably still paint/dye the shoulder strap though. they look to be canvas or the like so the paint should stay.

Thanks.
