The dye I used calls for HOT. I ended up boiling water and going from there. It took
the dye the fastest and I just pulled the knife out occasionally throughout the 30 min
to check the color and make sure it wasn't going too dark.

Anyhow what do they know huh? :) She also grabbed my all black stainless Byrd Meadowlark and said now that's a kn...

Holy cow! When you guys start talking this kind of talk your way beyond me. :) I have a Lansky system which I use to put bevels back on my blades then usually from there I'm good for awhile with just stropping or a Sharpmaker. I don't think my eyes would really pick up on a bevel difference out of a...

Titanium has a really cool look to it I think. It's pretty much the color of
what is pictured. A bit of a dull off grey color.
Here is another pic of someone else's knives that have been stripped.

D1omedes, Sorry really can't answer that because I just started this little project the other day. Perhaps someone with more experience can say for sure. I would suspect that it might fade a bit with age but will not run. This stuff absorbs into the frn and I don't get any color rubbing off or comin...

Thank guys. Yellow scales to red... Boil water, add scarlet red fabric dye, and leave in for however long you determine to get the desired tint. I left it in for 30 minutes swishing it around often and pulled the knife in and out of the water just to check how well it was absorbing into the frn. Whi...

I have both and I have to tighten up the screws occasionally when they loosen. The pinned one of course you don't and only with one have I ever put it on the anvil and gave it a bit of a tap with a punch and it worked great, and the reason it loosened was totally my own fault/abuse. Personally I'll ...
