I used Fiebings leather Dye, USMC Black. I did my BK2 as well. We'll have to see how it lasts, there was a little color transfer, but after letting it dry and rubbing it with some alcohol, there was less and the color stayed.
 
That looks like it came out great! I love black micarta but I don't think too many people do. :)

Let us know how it holds up.
 
It looks great. It actually looks darker than the black micarta I have from Saint Cutlery.
 
Thanks, I'll see if I can get some decent pics of the 11 and 2 in the outdoors and better light.
 
Your going to want to apply a top coat of some sort over leather dye or you will get some transfer. The pro oil dye will get it as black as you can get.
