Does anyone know how I can quickly darken some burlap micarta? Bought a knife that's a lot brighter than I thought and I'd like to subdue it a bit
 
mineral oil. I believe some stains will be okay too but that's going to be a bit more testing to get what you want
 
I used rit brown dye on an Ontario rat 5 that had light tan micarta scales. It came out a very nice medium dark brown. It was quite simple and turned out exactly like I wanted.
