Just tried the RIT dye method! Lookin GOOD!!! I don't think I'll be keeping this knife, but its good to know that the method works well!

very nice looking! id just be worried the color would come off onto my shorts pocket. let us know how it holds up.

I have no worries about that. Its in the pocket of my white running shorts right now. Even under running water, I can't get any color to come out.

will acetone or any other acidic solution remove it?

Looks awesome by the way, I think that was what Rukus wanted to get as a forum knife.

I've heard of people using a RIT brand dye remover to lighten a color? They used too much pink dye and came out with a hot pink. They wanted what I call Breast Cancer pink, so they lightened it with the remover. I'm not sure about these other products?

This knife looks good in black, I much prefer it to the green/teal.

Great pictures!
Can you give a little more info on the dye method?
Thanks.

Thank you!

The pivot and the screw housings are in the G10 pretty well. I just cooked them too. I boiled the G10 on low heat with a enough water to cover the pieces and a random amount of dye for 10 min. I then let it sit and stew/cool for 10 min after I shut off the heat. Thats it. I mostly just winged it. I really didn't quit believe that it'd even work. But after doing it, I'd say that if you get the G10 near the dye/water, you'd be hard pressed to NOT turn it black! Its so easy!

nice job. i like it!

Looks good.

I've been carrying a couple rit dyed spydercos for quite a while. Rit is really durable, and lasts a long time on G10 and on FRN. Don't expect that no color will ever come off though, because it will. Especially if carried loose in a pocket with other things. Little specs of color eventually wear off, but it's an easy fix. Just redye it.
