ReColoring a Camillus (KABAR) WW2 Blade

[jimh0220]

So I stripped the worn black original finish from my Camillus WW2 USN fixed blade. Was black originately, it's now silver, and I'm now thinking about taking it back to a colored blade. Any to do this well so it will last?

Original was parkerized. Many gun repair shops should be able to do it.
