People who do cloth dying I think call it using a “mordant” it sets the color. Don’t think it would matter on g10 or with Rit, but do not know. Can’t hurt g10 though. Color looks pretty good so far!Ooo, that looks nice! Kind of similar to Spyderco's S110V blurple but without the purple undertones.
A cold vinegar rinse or soak might help to set the dye once you have it to the color you want. Nicely done.

Would love to see the finish on your 0804; could you please PM me some images?
I lost my second PM2 recently, I know where I left it I just did get back to it in time before someone grabbed it. I called my knife dealing buddy to see if he had PM2 and traded straight across for a new Native I had still in the box.
The only problem was it has digi camo scales and had been carried very lightly. I have carried the PM2 daily for the last 3 to 4 yrs so I don't care about a little pocket wear. I used Idye Poly in crimson red in a simmering pot for only 3 minutes and it got darker than what I was after, this stuff looks like it will dye faster than Rit and deeper maybe too! I do like the outcome even being dark its a improvement over the camo.

That looks nice, i heard about the idye poly once before but no proof of how well it works, now I know what to buy next time i want to dye g10. Having done all this, is there any way to lighten or remove colors on g10? Not that I'm going to, just to have it as info for future reference.
