Resiprene C coloring

[Angelus1781]

Odd question:


How do you color this handle material? I've seen black, and tan. Anyone seen any other colors?

I don't know what this is. What knives have you seen it on?

Resiprene C= "rubber like" handle material used on all Swamprat knives, as well as the previous Busse Basic line. Very good stuff, much harder than kraton, but still soft enough and naturally grippy enough that they're way more comfortable and slip resistant. No idea how it's colored though. If I ventured a guess, it's dyed while in liquid form, prior to molding the handles, with whatever dye that they use nowadays in injection molded plastics.
