Green salt handles
Green salt handles
I've seen some yellow salt handles dyed green. what dye are you guys using for that? I have an idea in mind for my next knife that's going to require some green scales.
Re: Green salt handles
Why do you have to go and make me curious? Also, I wonder what the new green Salts’ll look like. Nice and visible, I hope, yet a nice shade.
- best wishes, Jazz.
Re: Green salt handles
What new green salts? :confused:
Re: Green salt handles
I found this in this thread. It's "Neon Green" Rit Dye being used.
I think the plan is to have toxic green scales for many of the LC200N SALT Knives.

Re: Green salt handles
What shade of green are you looking for? I have used the Rit brand dark green powder fabric dye on my yellow Pac Salt and yellow Dfly Salt and they both turned out well, almost as dark as the british racing green seen on the Zdp-189 varieties. I used the Rit brand Kelley green powder fabric dye on my Caribbean. The g-10 is a bit denser and wasn't as vibrant as I would have liked. I also used the Tulip brand lime green liquid fabric dye on the frn scales of my Enuff Salt. Also not as vibrant as I would have liked but definitely more lime than the original yellow scales.
Re: Green salt handles
Sounds great to me because I'm one guy who actually likes the nuclear colored handles. If you drop one of them or misplace it that nuclear color sure makes them a lot easier to find. And I've just gotten use to the looks of those nuclear/flourescent handles and they don't offend me at all. I kind of wish they would make some G-10 handles with the nuclear, glow in the dark type colored handles. :cool:
Re: Green salt handles
I'd like something a little more muted than toxic / neon green. I'm planning to dye some scales a foliage green / forest green / OD green or as close as I can get, then swap a black blade and hardware into them.SaltSerious wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 4:18 pmWhat shade of green are you looking for?

I love the combo of green scales and black or patina blade and I figured it wouldn't be too hard to do with my favorite knife.

Knives Plus does a lot of custom Rit Dye jobs. You may check them out for some inspiration?

Re: Green salt handles
I’d love some OD green. Delica wharnie, wharnie Manbug, Pacific Salt SE black blade.

Re: Green salt handles
Interesting. I could be into nuclear / flo lime green. I use flo lime fletching in my arrows, though it’s not a great choice for spring. Pink, orange or blue are great for the woods.
I’d still like to see a black blade with orange, yellow, or flo lime scales. SE of course!

Re: Green salt handles
Personally I don’t know why John Deere doesn’t team up with Spyderco and give us a John Deere yellow and a John Deere green knife. A Delica would do just fine but something in aSalt 2 would be awesome

Re: Green salt handles
To achieve that color combo your looking for, I would try the Kelley Green as the base and incorporate a shade of brown or tan according to your desired outcome. It has been my experience that the powdered fabric dyes work better.Vivi wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 5:00 pmI'd like something a little more muted than toxic / neon green.

Re: Green salt handles
I think this would look great. They could definitely start a gardening/farming line in those colors with H1 and LC200N steels. VG-10 maybe.

Re: Green salt handles
I hope Spyderco also releases all black options as well for the LC200N.
