Song Sung BLUE: Blue-handled Traditional Knives

Thanks Driften. Yes, repeated coverings of black leather dye. Wiped away after just a few seconds until it was darkened to the degree I wanted. Then a 2 hour tea soak. I think it is a vast improvement on the original shade...

(which closely resembled this pic I borrowed from the web).

I think it made a big improvement! It added the needed depth and contrast to the color. Good Job

Absolutely gorgeous shade of blue my friend!
 
That came out great James. I really like the single blade Case Sowbelly's and you added a very nice personal flavor. :thumbup:
 
Thanks guys! Sometimes I can't leave well enough alone (like many of you). I find it especially fun when a modification is an actual improvement. :) Case sowbellys are awesome knives so I just had to try making this one better. I like the richer color and I'm pleased you all like it too.
 
Hey Guys...

Got a new knife in the mail today, funny coincidence I come across this thread on the same morning... Made a video and took some pics.

Whoa yeah. think I just saw my next knife. Ive got the royal blue rit dye sitting under the sink. Would it be possible to start a detailed thread on your dyeing technique-perhaps in the maintainance sub forum?
It is deffo a vast improvement.

This is one I just came across. A SFO for a dealer in Ky. I have fallen in love with it. I still don't understand Canal street closing. This is a very well made knife. I came across this thread yesterday, and drooled all over my key board. Some very nice knives here.

Forgive the old picture but I don't think I've posted in this topic before. One of my favorite stockman.
 
First time I noticed this thread. I had more blue than I realized. A couple aren't called blue, but they look blue to me.

Here is my latest Blue! Its a Case Select Mediterranean Blue Peanut.... and its all Sarah's fault in praising that case color..... She was right! I really love the blue on this knife. it came our really nice. I also like how the select does not have polished blades. The pull is a little heaver then I like. More then my mini copperhead and about the same as my saw back gent. In any case it really was worth picking this one up.
