Okay... well I have this friend that bought an orange sprint run Dodo and dyed it black! :eek:
I have no idea why you would dye a knife that was a sprint run specifically for the color, black. Blue, purple, red, any colors are available, but he dyed it black because he didn't like how the orange showed dirt.... :rolleyes:

Anyways, the knife is now in my hands and I've been wondering... is there a way to remove the dye? I don't care if it comes out a darker orange or anything... but I want that black gone.

So is it possible? I've searched here and online and haven't found any information on it.

Thanks for your help.

I found this. :D Not sure if it would work on G10 or not... worth a shot?

Hahaha it's for clothes though. Maybe it could be made to work. Hmmm. Bleach maybe??? Ouf.
 
RIT dye remover will work on G10. I attempted to dye my grey Para-2 several times and that particular G10 just won't take hardly any coloring. I did get it to take a God-awful Sea-Foam green:

This guy is back to Grey, so I know it can be undone. Black however, is pretty dark, so I don't know what the results will be.
 
If nothing else works...try glass bead blasting them @ 60 psi...that WILL work...trust me:D (if this isn't possible for you for any reason, send me just the scales and I'll do it for you...I have done this with 2 other orange sprint run Spydies and they came out fine. I have pics of it if you want)
