No. See here's my free advice, which of course is worth exactly what you're paying for it ~
While I like the way other guy's dye jobs have turned out, they lose the most attractive part. The polished white bone where they tapered it down to mate up with the bolsters is the best looking part of it all. It sets off the dye in the middle.

More free advice, and from a guy who doesn’t even own the knife but has been admiring them from many posted photos: I agree on the keeping natural bone! The dyeing has become a frenzy.

I would agree that one could go on a frenzy and dye knives that don't need it, but, in the case of the new Forum stockman, my opinion is exactly the opposite. Those dark red dye jobs on it are 10 to 1 much better looking knives to my eye. I have not seen many of them posted here that are attractive at all in their factory dyed state. To each their own. 😊
..................... and I did not buy one .......... and don't regret it.
 
Another beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! It’s a bit chilly but should warm up to the mid sixties this afternoon. Nothing but PT on the agenda for today but only upper body workout as my right groin still hurts from the ablation. With a nod to Black Friday an ebony lamb Hubertus springer Jack. Have a great weekend folks! 😀IMG_1761.jpegIMG_1760.jpeg

Going to town in a little bit to play some pool and then poker this evening. Breezy and gusty. Up to 30 mph according to my phone (All hail the mighty phone ) Sunny and almost 60F, so not bad, but not a good hair today
Due to my continued coughing, I haven't had a haircut since October, except when I took scissors to my bangs. I'm thinking of taking my beard trimmer to the rest of it 🤔 Haven't worked up the nerve yet 🫣

I hear Steak 'N Shake is going back to frying their fries in beef tallow. 😗
Back when Ray Kroc was putting all of the mom n pop burger joints out of business, he served great fries boiled in beef tallow.

I just like the smooth white bone by the bolsters.
Next time I dye a knife, I'll do like you said and order some Fiebing's dye insted of Rit or potassium permangate.

I've been barbering my ownself since the mid '90s. Get a good electric kit and have at it til it looks good. The secret is knowing when to stop.
