Good looking knife, but not sure how it will work out in the field. Send it to me and I will let you know after the 2014 season. LOL

I've use that too. Lately I've been using the Alumalite dyes and like you say it only takes a drop or two.

Awesome knife, wish it was mine.
If you keep your hair short and your mouth shut, things tend to run a lot smoother.
