Zytel BK14 handles

[TheGoldenWalrus]

Here's the result-

Used Rit Scarlet, approx 1/4 of the bottle of liquid dye and a cup of water,
Soaked for 1 hour reheating solution every 20 minutes.

Came out as a rust color, which suits me fine as it tones down the blazin orange that wasn't necessarily my cup O tea.

thanks, now i know what to use . i was orriginally intending to try to get brown, but then realized it would probably end up looking like a turd with a blade comming out of it or somthing, but this rust color looks just as "rustic" as brown normally does.

Thanks,
Scott.

Thanks man, I'm glad someone else thinks that it came out OK!!

Credit where credit is due though, the fine folks on this sub forum deserve all due regards for infecting a fellow with the Becker Mod Bug.

They totally change the feel of the knife. It goes from being an everyday utility knife to an everyday everything knife. It can handle bushcrafting, hunting, survival, barbed wire slicing, along with a whole bunch of other uses. It's much more comfortable to hold in your hand with the scales and it also gives it more "umph" to hold on to. Would highly recommend them.

I put the zytel scales on my BK-14 and I had the same feeling you described.
