Started with the gray FRN and used RIT sunshine orange. I must not be very good with the color wheel as it came out OD green. I was pleasantly surprised.
Yea it came out very nice, now all you have to do is remember your steps\amounts\time to re-create it for other models.

I would like to list my spydercos in order of purchase
delica 4 ffg in blue
endura 4 ffg grey that I dyed to OD green
PM2 digicam satin

Thanks for having me guys.
Welcome to here. I like LA. Ive seen everything there from beautiful scenery to a woman taking a dump along side the road. Emergency I hope and not her "stadard operating procedure". :D

Very nice choice and selection of knives you have there. Small (sort of) and larger as well. I don't have a PM2 but have wanted one just because the knife gets such respect from folks on this forum. I've come to trust most of what is said here about knives, sharpening, etc.

I bought a grey FRN endura 4 and used the rit "sunshine orange" dye in the powder form. Initially I had hoped to make it a darker orange. This was before I found out that they were making orange a standard color for the delica and endura 4s. I am terrible at using a color wheel. You can imagine my surprise when I washed it off and it was OD green. I was pleasantly surprised :D
How did you get the scales off to dye it?
