Worst dye job of the year award?

Just dye it, you'll be nicely surprised by the change. Stag? Well OK if it's great antler and if it has a shield...but myself I'd leave that alone, this is more unusual once you get the colour improved.It’s starting to grow on me, I guess it’s unique. I was just bummed after seeing such nice examples posted recently.
Coupla winners there Tom!Variation! Weak photography & both nice but older brother chose right one...red/black in person.

Yes, actually. Bone really doesn't like a quick change of temperature. And the change shouldn't necessarily be extreme, just quick.That would be a very sad thing! Luckily this one seems fine. I wonder if anyone has had that happen?

Quite possibly. I think a slip might actually help in such situation. As they say, one shouldn't unpack electronic devices brought out the cold into the warm place if they are in some sort of package, so there won't be any condensate inside the device. Maybe same applies to knives in slips? Though slips are open on one side, so I am not really sure.I move my camera slowly into the house after being out in the cold.
First to a cold ish room then gradualy into a warmer room.
Perhaps that would be best for these knives?
Man, Steve, you got a gem!
