I use the same Black I use when dyeing leather black, Fiebings Professional Oil Die. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
They look really good like that. I was wondering if you would disclose a little more about the dyeing process?
Do you do it with the handle slabs on the blade, and if so, does it leave the paint on the blade alone? I have a white Waki with "black" micarta slabs, I'd love to have the slabs actually be black, instead of the gray-green they are now.
