Dying bone handles
I tried dying my handles on my 75, and I think they came out good. I just used RIT clothes dye. I used red, and brown. I mixed them until it looked like wine color I guess. I opened the blade to use as handles to dip in the hot dye. I forgot how much I let them soak ; but keep off the blades they will discolor a little bit. Then I washed with clean hot water, dried and re-oiled. I will try to attach a pic.

Well I must say it looks pretty good Ray! Will it hold OK or do you have to seal it or anything?
