For those that may be curious, to get the mint green to the K390 blue, I used 4 cups of water, 6 teaspoons of Rit Dyemore Sapphire Blue, and 1/2 teaspoon of Dyemore Graphite. While I'm not sure if it really does anything on plastics, I also followed up the dying with the Rit color fixative.

I’ve had luck with the recipes on their website. Pick a shade you like and dial back the recipe by volume. You can pick the objects you are dying and get an appropriate volume recipe. I most recently used “sunglasses” and the amount was great for endura scales in a glass mason jar.

Hello guys, new to the forum. I've been a "knife guy" for a good long while, but for some reason had never owned a Spyderco until recently. I mean, I knew they were a "thing", and having been into knives, had seen many references to them. But for reasons unbeknownst to me, I just never saw what ...
