Just curious. Everything I have that is alox is silver and I've never warmed up to the silver. I really like the way the red alox fades after years of carry. I was just wondering if there was a durable paint that could be applied that is close to what victorinox uses so that after years of carry, it would wear down and only be left in the ribs? Just wondering if anyone has done this with all the other mods I've seen done on a sak, this seems like it would be easy.
