I'm not a collector, all my knives are tools and will be carried and used. The Microtech is thinner, lighter and easier to carry and operate one handed than my Benchmade or Zero Tolerance knives. It seems to be the best suited for carry in scrubs and hospital use.That's funny. And you Microtech collectors are funny as he'll to me about models and colors and whatnot.
While I personally could give a crap less about the color, it's important to remember that approximately 90% of my co-workers are women, and little things like that matter. If something is cute, pretty, or fashionable, then it's not nearly as threatening. If I pull out my knife in front of a co-worker, and it matches my scrubs, it goes from "oh my God, he has a knife!" to "Ahh, that's cute, I want one too." You can laugh if you want; if it's stupid, but it works...it's not stupid.
