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.puffulufogous wrote:what's funny about my OD endura is that I meant to make it orange.
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.

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". :Dpuffulufogous wrote:Just wanted to say hi to everyone out there. I have just gotten into knives in the past year and have gravitated towards spydercos for obvious reasons. I came here mainly to ask some questions about using the sharpmaker and try and find some older models that caught my eye.
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.
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.

How did you get the scales off to dye it?puffulufogous wrote:rg02,
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
