Very cool, thank you for finding the FRN dying videos. My take away from it; do not put too much dye in the pot, and, I would check the FRN scales every fifteen seconds to make sure I get the shade of color I have in mind. Remember that if the scales turn out darker than you wanted, you are stuck with them, there is no going back. So, take the extra step of checking the scales regularly to get your intended color.
Monitor, monitor, monitor! Don’t drop them in the pot, leave them there and hope for the best.
The white handles appear to take dye very well. As good as the tan FRN handles but with truer color.
Check out what this guy did, made a great red, white and blue Honey Badger and did some work on the blade too.
I haven’t bought a knife because he told me so but I like to watch his videos.
He especially likes Oosa made (USAmade) knives, the cheapest crap from China for MallNinjas
Even his teaser video where his “neighbor” is turning on loud music is a must see.
Mora knives are great deals (although their full tang knives are a bit pricey when you’re used to their other less expensive models) and they are great performers. Mine always came amazingly sharp from the factory and are easy to touch up. I must have a dozen of them in all shapes and sizes.
Added a little color to some of my titanium knives. The clip on the kershaw leek I made out of a titanium sheet with lots of grinding for shape, sanding and diamond paste polishing.
the honey badger was a little gritty when closing, but dissassembled easily, you only need 1 Torx for pivot despite there being a double sided Torx pivot, the shaft is D shaped thankfully(T8 for pivot T6 for body and clip screws) and cleaned up nicely.
I’d looked at the TS21, but that flipper tab sort of annoys me. Looks a bit “hot” like it would be a poker in the pocket. Are the edges of it chamfered? Btw, nice work on those clips! :+1:
Its slightly rounded, I dont notice it all in my pocket.

Here’s the Woodpecker if someone is interested.

For less than $50 bucks with titanium handles and a D2 blade on ball bearings the TS21 is hard to beat.
Very well made from what I have observed with the machining.
