You could rub some mineral oil or olive oil on them. It's interesting because most people are trying to keep their Micarta grey, so you have the opposite problem.

I have a bark river knife with turquoise Micarta slabs that lightens with use (white threads start to show), rubbing any oil (typically olive oil) on the Slabs darkens them back to the rich colour they start out with.

Why not Rit dye them? It wouldn't affect the titanium, I'd imagine.

That's okay if it's a safe queen. You'll have to handle the knife. The oils in your skin will darken it over time. Just play with it, that's all.

Interesting that you say that. I prefer the look of the darker micarta on a sebenza. Who am I kidding though, I'd take either
