well not a bugout, but my first try at Rit dye, I also re profiled the tip. This started as a REI blue handle, I tried for green kinda of a cool color I ended up with.

My second attempt with Rit dye love it so much I listed my g-10 Rouge scales to sell.

I posted these last week, but apparently the post got lost. Here is how mine turned out:

Teal is a really cool color. What color RIT did you use?

this one remember the handles were REI blue.

Got my black beauty at work with me today. But of course that’s every other day too. Can’t seem to bring myself to carry anything else. This thing is perfect.

Ah. A dark yellow would have given a truer green if it worked. I tried sunshine yellow on my 810-1401, and the effect was a nice green, but it didn't seem to set like other RIT dye. It ended up rubbing off, which was a first for me.

Mini grip/940. They both use the same studs. Same exact size as the blue that comes standard. Call benchmade and they will send you a set free of charge.

Thanks for the info guys !

BM has my bugout at the moment. I called a while ago and requested silver studs to be put on while there. If not done no biggie I’ll call and order a set.

Well its back in my hands. Here is the final pics of how everything turned out. Thanks to everyone who helped !

vinager (1/2cup) in its place the acidic properties help penatrate the material. If you want black you may have to add dark green to the black mix. I always add a table spoon of salt just seems to set the dye better.

The only two liquid rit dyes I have come across is regular and one for synthetic fabric. I saw no difference from either one in the applications I have done. Here is one from the other rit dye for sythetic fabric.
