I have a nice Italian hunter fixed blade with the green Micarta grip panels. Unfortunately, its a very dull almost light olive color and I wanted to change it. After a complete lite sanding of the scales, I used my black leather dye and the results were amazing. Came out very smooth, even all over and really seemed to penetrate.
However, I want to shine it up a bit and thought I'd ask you all what would be the best way to wax or polish this. It is now a black dusky appearance, very dull and I want to shine it up some--
Ideas? Suggestions? thanks in advance --John
 
No, Unfortunately I don't. I did put a layer of edge coat on it and that really made a change. It looks good now as is but I think just a coat of the leather wax will work
So that is the next step and then hand buff witth a soft rag --
