Schrade 25OT with Dyed Camel Bone Handles

Post by Jeffinn »

I added two new blades that were hand polished to approximately a 600 grit finish. Then I dyed some smooth camel bone slabs with Fiebings black dye. Once it was cleaned and polished it looked pretty good.
It started out looking like this:
Original project knife

And ended up like this:
