I used a big canning jar pot with lifter and put water in it and water in a pyrex loaf pan. Dye in loaf pan/dish rinses right out and scales lay flat with little water in pot or loaf pan.

Turned out nice. I actually have been experimenting with dying Spydercos I recently bought from BHQ. I have dyed two Spyderco Salts with the H1 blades and yellow handles. I take these with me fishing and snorkeling in the ocean so I wanted a fishy coloring. I dye only one half of the scales (length wise) in Kelly Green to make it look like a dorado (mahi). The end result is two-tone. I kept dipping half of it into the die with the knife blade half folded just holding onto the blade until I got the color I wanted and tilting the handle in the die to get the color to follow the curve of the handle. The liquid dye did not work well for me and I had to redo the first one using the powder dye. I then used a fine tip permanent blue marker for the blue dots of a lit up fish. The finished product turned out nice and really looks like a little dorado fish. My fishing buddies are envious and now they can watch your video and know how to make one for themselves. My next project is to figure out how to patina blades and I had planned to call BHQ to see if you had any suggestions but today I got your latest email and watched this video so now I can try that too. PS. Buy a sauce pan at the dollar store to use for dying to stay out of trouble with the wife. Great video showing how easy it is to do this. I would like to post a photo of my dyed knives for you but can't figure out how to do that.
