Kydex Color Help! (solved)

[Owen K.]

Just finished this knife and sheath and realized, I f'd up. The color and pattern clashes when they are togeather. Seperate they are both very nice. Is there any way to dye this kydex black or blacker? Or do I just have to suck it up and remake the sheath and waste the material? Thanks for any and all help!

What about a handle swap? I think that sheath would look cool with walnut, mesquite, or other brown wood.

I agree It'd look good, but that's way more work than making a sheath. I used a dremel to contour the handles because I'm a pleb.

I think it looks fine. But then, I am not an art major.

I like it , looks good If it fits really well I’d leave it

I personally think the knife and sheath look great separately but do clash together. If it is for yourself it shouldn’t matter, but there are some paints that adhere to kydex.

Yep, I sucked it up and made another one in black. Turns out the Kryptec one fits a mora robust almost perfectly! Time not wasted. Thanks all for your help! I might update with a pic, if I remember
