Hi folks, is it possible to rit dye orange g10.
I'm looking to go to either a light grey or denim blue Jean colour.

Do you think that's possible or will a safety orange base just be too bright?

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers
Rab.
 
The underlying color of the G10 will affect your final color. Grey and Blue just aren't possible with orange G10. Sorry. What you can do is darken it:Rift dark orange -1.jpg
 
Ok thanks, I thought this might be the case.
I might buy a cheap ganzo to experiment on.
I'd prefer to not dye it black so might try an OD green or even a brown instead now.
Cheers
 
Just for perspective, i dyed a Emerson roadhouses that was desert tan. I wanted it to be brown. I used brown rit dye. It came out a dark grey and in sunlight it had a purplish grey look.
 
Ah cool, maybe if I go with green I might get brown then??
The team over at rit dye said they'd get back to me with some suggestions.

I'll post back with the results in the future
 
The rule of thumb is that you can go darker but not lighter. The same darkness probably won't turn out right but you could probably get a different color with the RIT dye. You could probably get a darker grey with a purple RIT dye but blue will be a real challenge, even a dark blue. Black would be really easy though.

What knife is if for? You might have better luck swapping scales.
