BK Scale Questions

[The Warrior]

Are there ever going to be colored scales available for the BK line? I think OD scales would be sweet. Also, has anyone here ever dyed their Micarta scales to an olive drab color? Any photos? How did you do it? Thanks.

Here's a great tutorial from my side of the pond.

He does it with denim, but it will work with any fabric and any color you want.

have fun!

Yeah, I've seen those tutorials before. Have thought about going that route, but was wondering if dying Micarta may be an easier route. I think it would be cool if Becker BK&T would release olive drab grivory scales.

Supposedly they are in the works. Fingers crossed.

Man I hope so. I think the BK&T line up should have more accessories.

I think JV3 dyed his Esee scales black.

These Micarta scales look good in OD: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...holder-in-sheath?highlight=olive+drab+micarta

Start with great blades, add all kinds of different scale materials and colors. It's a pretty damn good idea. Just ask Bark River.

Yeah, they do have a lot of stuff. I like having different options.

I bet you could sell blaze orange grivory as fast as you could make them.

Yeah, the bright colors are nice, but I'm an olive drab freak, lol.

Use rit dye....

 

[The Warrior]

I have read that before. Probably will.

Can't make up my mind if I wanna get the Micarta or not.

I don't know about dyeing the scales, but that is one bad ass avatar.:thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks. I always have liked the Indian stuff. Love going arrowhead hunting, although I haven't done it for years.
