Going with a pocket worn Case 6375CV stockman, and a TB61028 W DAM teardrop, that does not get as much pocket time as it deserves.

Thanks guys! I more or less followed the steps laid out in one of the threads on here named “dyeing bone” I believe. I used RIT dark green dye for natural materials, but I’ve seen the synthetic work just the same. I filled a sauce pan with enough water to cover the knife standin on its spine. I pulled the blades out n taped em. Im not sure if that was necessary or not. I put the whole bottle of die in with a bit of salt n a few drops of dawn dish soap. I was not scientific with how much of either I put in. Brought it to a simmer, mixed it lightly n left it sittin til I got the saturation of color I was lookin for. Turned off the heat n let it cool a couple then pulled it out n let it air cool. Rinsed it thoroughly, polished n oiled up the blades n joints. I found the walk to be a lil bit sluggish at first but I flushed with water a couple times n re oiled a few times really workin the blades n the next mornin the walk n talk was back to how it was outta the tube. I am really satisfied with how it came out.

I've seen a couple of really nice ones dyed red but this is the first green one. It looks great. These things must take dye really well. Can I ask what you used?
