We are now pleased to offer the option of black corners in place of the classic brass/gold color corners, on both the Deluxe Black Folder and the Standard Black Folder. At a cost of +$1.50/folder the black corners allow for a more subtle and monochrome look, if desired. A scratch, however, will show more readily on black than on gold, and some people keep their folders for more than 20 years. Nonetheless, a touch-up with a Sharpie® black marker would also fix a scratch on black reasonably well. The choice is yours.
