Was hoping for the ZDP. I don't mind serrated knives but yellow is probably the only color I don't care for. Other than that it seems great.

raasnioFrom what I've seen, the yellow FRN is really easy to dye, so you can change the color of the handles. There are some interesting fading patterns done also. Here's a googled image.

Not into serrated edges myself, but if I do get one, I'll probaby fade purple to yellow for my lakers!!

StickFighterI've got the H1 Ladybug. It's not an EDC because I cut things other than rope, but I don't hesitate to grab it for opening boxes or anything where I don't want to accidentally cut the contents.
It's also good for trimming plants.

NewHassI would love to have the blade shape if it wasn't serrated (easier to sharpen). Really into the karambit style knife, but serration just kills it for me

StickFighterH1 doesn't perform its it's not serrated. The metal is just too soft otherwise.

StickFighterGreen would be fantastic. I will have to figure out how to dye the handle properly.

NewHassNot familiar with H1, but it makes sense since the metal is more blended for stain/rust resistance than hardness. I'm not saying that it's a bad knife, especially for the type of environment it is was designed for (i.e. more corrosive environment). It was designed for a specific environment and probably performs its job well (can't say for sure since I don't own one). But I'm more of an EDC carry type. I like the karambit style, but if I had a choice, it would be a non-serrated with a harder metal for more edge retention. Just my preference, but I won't find out what knife I got until Monday.

StickFighterH1 is extremely soft - people have complained to Spyderco for years about it the plain edge Salt version in H1. That's why the new Carribean uses LC200N - that's almost as rust proof, but it holds an edge better than 154CM.
The serrations are the only way to make H1 work well - and as long as you keep in mind its role, you're good. But the Hawkbill H1 isn't meant for general cutting, IMO.
