You should dye a spare scale and then cut it in half to see how deep the color goes into the G10
HOLY CRAP! A face to go with the voice! 👍 This is something I never thought I'd see here. The face of a REAL knife nut!
Mike Uman agree
Mike Uman I just grew the face 2 weeks ago. So....
@@LuvThemKnives Hmmm...not bad. 😎
Those All came out Great Thank You so Much for another quality video showing everyone HOW TO DO IT. I learned from you and Jimislash. Thank You so Much for doing another dye video looks SO GOOD!
Always fun to customize knives with dye!!! The FRN gets so fussy with longer times. Those Bestech knives took the color wonderfully! Thanks for sharing!
Always cool to see the man behind the voice. I just got my 1st Honeybadger large in D2, definitely looking at doing a dye job in the near future. I like how the blue one turned out for you. Thanks for the dye tips!
First time I saw your face. Gonna have to watch later. Got a livestream to attend.
This was a cool vid. I really thought they all came out great and were unique. But the Palidins were really sweet. I might try the dying out myself now someone showed us how. Thanks !!!!
I dyed some 'Green' = (un dyed in their natural state) Micarta knife scales for some Becker knives using an empty Jam jar, the jar is plenty tall enough for knife or pistol scales and does not use a large amount of Rit dye, I used dental floss instead of wire. I also did not continue to boil the dye solution while the Micarta scales were submerged, I brought the bottled water to a boil, added it to the jar, poured in what I thought was a decent amount of dye, stirred the solution with a popsicle stick and submerged the scales into the solution for 25 minutes. The Micarta took to the Brown Rit dye quite nice! I was unaware that G10 could be dyed in a similar way, thanks for the video, well done Sir!
I dig the red Honey Badger! Nice work man.
dye scale not so secret. Only 5 minutes at a time, rinse, evaluate color. Then if darker is desired, due again for 5 more minutes, and so on. You are right, after 15 minutes, they do not take up much more dye. Only other tip, and this may make be shocking, but usually you do not need to disassemble the knife at all! Just have a compressor to blow out all the water when done and use a little WD-40 once (the WD stands for water displacer) This is a great video and it is fun to do. (I have never tried bleech to lighten, may need to on a few someday) BTW, for some knives, a little dye job makes them more valuable to other collectors for sale or trade if it looks good. I tried painting metal and even micrata scales a few times, usually badly dissapointed. One exception, I painted a black micarta hinderer scale it gold, it looked terrible, then I sanded it and it became amazing and I sold the scale! Have fun.
Nice job. I like the dark blue on the honey badger. Love the blue on the paladin.
I like the way G10 takes the dye.
Looks awesome! Great content, got me subscribed!
Great video! Dying scales is very interesting! Great work!
Awesome video. I might have to try this one day!!!! That Ruike also kinda looks like a Spyderco Tropin copy..
Wow, cool man! Thank you for your interesting reviews!
Thanks for the video and keep the great videos coming. Really enjoyed this video and the clock. Hope your having a great week my friend.
The bestech that turned out maroon looks really nice!
When you have so many knives and you forget their name...😆
I'm going to try this on Easter too.
Enjoyed the video....I liked the Honey Badger that came out the chocolate/red color!
Damn LTK those colors are popping!!!!
Purchased extra jade scales for my TRM Atom and going to do a dye job on them.
Wow really amazing video!!! :D
I need to dye my orange CH in g10 to see whats up !!! Thx for the video man! Im going to try 3 minutes, 6, 10... To see the tones it goes.
Awesome brother good stuff bruh
Ok then, looks simple enough. Oh darn, with all of my super dark g-10 and frn, I guess I'll have to get another knife to try this out. What a shame.
Hey, LTK, have you tried your hand at heat anodizing? I gave it my first go on a TwoSun clip a couple nights ago with fair results.
Thanks for the instructional.
I love knife mod videos. I see knives mods I hit 👍 like. Nice to see a face for my favorite comedian knife expert 👍👍
So how did the bleaching turn out? I got dark dark green G10 scales and wanted to try to lighten ‘em, so could use your advice there, thanks.
Love the Burgundy and the red on the Paladin, Oh ya!
I like em all! Unique! Thank you for the tutorial on dyeing. I am going to dye my tan g10 rar 2 scales.🔪🖤🗡
I always wondered about the clock. Cool story.
That red paladin turned out sweet.
One of your funniest videos, imho😄
Wow, totally blown away when I saw your face. Almost thought I was watching the wrong video 😂. I would love to give dieing knife scales but all of my knives that are G10 are either already a red or green or just to dark to do anything with. Thanks for the video.
Paul Hughes I’ve actually seen a guy that dyed orange or green scales with success but not me. I’m really going to stick with beige or light brown.
I am trying to figure out how to dye the orange G10 Hogue\Ritter dark red. Good video!
Rit wine dye. smile.amazon.com/dp/B000P0RLPW
How deep does the dye penetrate? If the handle gets slightly scuffed, will the original color be right there underneath?
Have you ever used the purple all purpose? I have purple all purpose and royal purple synthetic. I am afraid the royal purple might be too dark on the tan backlash.. But, not sure if the purple all purpose will take.
Great video thank you
Rit dye remover? I don't have any experience with it but seen they make it. Does any of the colors ever bleed or show on your hands? I dyed 2 knives and I used Rem oil to lube them and had a couple spots on a paper towel where the excess oil dripped out
Harley Smoker Once the scales are dry I’ve not had any color bleeding off.
Most inspiring video I've seen on dying scales is one where the guy takes a couple of tbsp of liquid dye, pours it in a cup, then adds boiling water. He then take his knife-to-dye, grabbing it by the blade and sticks the scale side of the knife into the cup, gets the shade of color he wants, puts it in a second glass of water, then rinses the knife under running water, dries it and voila! His justification for not taking the folder apart - stainless steel doesn't dye. Makes total sense to me.
hey ltk, nice to put a face to the voice, it's not "i thought you would be taller", but your voice makes you sound "younger"- (i think there's a compliment in there somewhere!)-keep up the good work bud.........
The reason for the detergent is to add surface active agents, aka surfactants, which essentially reduce water surface tension and enable the dye to penetrate the scales more effectively. Just out of curiosity what temperature are you at? I think I’m going to try this out on my Bestech Kendo, like the way it accents the grain in the G-10.
Pedro Peralta I’m at 106 degrees in Tucson Lol !
Pedro Peralta I brought the dye solution to a low boil and left it there or just below that. So I kept the burners on 2 or 3 on the burner setting.
Can you make a video on dying Micarta scales please. I want to dye a set of Becker bk16 Micarta scales but I've never done it before
ONETIME OUTDOORS Dj I haven’t done it either but I’ll give it a try.
@@LuvThemKnives okay I appreciate it if you want I'll even send you my scales to do it with LOL
You sound so young I'm looking to dye my Defcon karambit scales it's metal can I dye it the same way.
Great experiments.That FRN is a sponge!
Thanks for the show LTK!
Great job.
She must have been out shopping, for you to get away with messing up the kitchen like this.
👍🔪🍺😀
Steve Kluver You’re absolutely right. Dyeing the scales was cheap. Giving her enough money to go shopping for that long cost way more ! Lol
Did you sell ether of the honey badgers?
Nothing like cooking some knife scales
Can you dye micarda scales if so can you make a video on that
Ah at last the man behind the voice. Did you manage to bleach any of the darker scales and did it work? 🤘🏻😛🤘🏻
Paul Hodkinson Didn’t work for me but probably didn’t do it correctly.
Hey ltk do u got that plum real steel??? Is it for sale?
dom bond Already sold it last week.
Can grivory be dyed different colors? I see minimal information online.
It would also be cool to see the bleach process, or at least the results of bleaching the scales.
Phil Sinex I tried to bleach the dark blue frn scales and nothing happened.
@@LuvThemKnives Maybe try hydrogen peroxide? And thanks for the great video!
Joshua Canzoneri I’m already a blonde !! Lol
@@LuvThemKnives lol! I was actually going to recommend beauty supply bleach and peroxide for the higher concentrations! Hahah
I didn't see it, but can you dye micarta, for example Oknife Beagle or Sitivien ST110??? Just wondering??? I'm going through a lot right now and loose concentration quickly.
You can dye micarta but you need to start with a light neutral color. I find it to be a bit more difficult to get consistent results.
@@LuvThemKnives Thank you...
@@LuvThemKnives I have the light micarta Beagle... It & black are the only options.
Hey there. Great video as always. So...RIT (and other brands) makes some dye color remover products. Not sure if it actually "removes" or bleaches or whatever. Anyone have experience with these dye removers on G10 or FRN? I'd like to experiment, but not necessarily have to sell the ones I don't like.
FRN isn't really porous I think like G-10 or Micarta is I know the gun community does dying of rifle stocks and plastic mags and...don't quote me but I think the gun parts fade with use and those are like FRN.
And the clock doesn't bug me,most aren't use to them anymore but I grew up around them.
My favourite is the deep blue honeybadger you dislike :)
Do you use vinegar in the water?
kyle v Sometimes I have. Other times not. I haven’t noticed any difference
Watched whole vid to see you didn’t do the sky blue, another vid?
Ryan R Another Video but I’ll definitely be doing it
Im definetly gona dye some shit now!
Did you?
Is the blue honey badger for sale?
Fortressdude Yes it is. It’s got a red and the blue backspacer with it. Just email me to buy it.
Would I be able to dye my od green in white?
formula4creation Green can’t go to white. Sorry
@@LuvThemKnives ahh alright thanks for the reply and the video
WoW! The face behind the voice, now you lost the mystic factor but so be it we all have to show our face sooner or later. Cheers!
Well the g10 on my eafengrow must be fake because all day and it wont take the all purpose black 🤔
19:00 ur welcome lol
And I was starting to think that he was just 2 hands talking.
Doesn't make any sense that bestech would put mrbs on g10 and not on their ti framelocks with super steel
Chef it up
Face revealed.
White scales out now honeybadgerknives.co.za/product/frn-handle-set-white/
Cool video! First time seeing your face. You look a lot like I thought you would Haha.
Matt Finish Thank Goodness for that !! You mean like Brad Pitt I assume. Lol
@@LuvThemKnives Oh of course!
Danke. Forza Ferrari🇮🇹👌
✌🤟🤙👍
