Which yellow did you use, my 10 year old grandson is working on stripping a BK11 as I am typing this. I showed him this picture and he really liked the yellow. So now I guess I’ll have to buy a set of micarta slabs for his next project, he has been trying different cord wraps but isn’t happy with any of the ones he’s tried and he wants to do it on his own with no help. His mother is deployed in Kuwait right now and I’m just trying to keep him busy.After giving away three of my Cam Neckers, I was left with four more that I just finished.

Thank you, this we will try. Thank you very much. Chuckchuck4570 , Rit DyeMore Synthetic Daffodil Yellow.
It looks like a mustard color out of the bottle. I add it to the water with a splash of white vinegar. Bring the water up to the smoking point and keep it there for 25 minutes.

How was that done? A round file + sandpaper?

The first step is protect the edge. I just used a business card folded around the blade and taped. Then I use a Dremel with the little Drum Sander . Have a wet rag for cooling

Almost done . Blade had some rust at some point 
I like it had to hurry rains a coming
Forgot to mention that some Lapping of the Micarta is a must in order for the scales to fit. It's hard to tell in the pic but the sandpaper is soaked the scales wet too to avoid DUST

Also a little needs to be removed if you want the logo to show all the way
All done . Wait I changed the hardware

Does it still provide good first finger protection?

It does
But its not as safe as it was with the guard. I think it's plenty safe for me the way I'll use it .
