I bought this knife to attach it to my MTB frame and carry it around for dog safety, but the handle is very bright and might get too much unwanted attention. The handle is plastic (PPE) I want to dye it but I don't know what to use I don't want to make it sticky or messy any recommendations? Btw I'm open to other solutions if you wanna help.
My plan is to drill 2 holes in the sheath and screw these bolt velcro strap
Picrel comes in black and a host of other colors and will make for a better grip too
That's a very good idea, does it cure well?
It's cheaper than a mora so if I happens to lose it it will be no biggie and came in orange only listen I can carry a utility knife one but I just want to do it in a discrete fashion that's all
The handle is already pretty thick so idk
Does it cure well?
That's even worse than orange, it will look like a prison shank
Because is cheaper and I might lose it and fyi haltafors is an established swedish foundry as well so they are good too, a guy near where I ride was mauled by three rottweilers I will try to gtfo but in case I can't prefer have a knife at hand than nothing

>It's cheaper than a mora
Mora are like 20 dollars. I think you riding around with a shitty utility knife with a tape wrapped handle so it looks like a shiv will be less discreet than you just riding around with a tiny crappy utility knife. If your want a knife for protection just get a folding or spring assist knife
>and came in orange
Post the listing then
that looks like a mora clone, which come in 100 different handle colors. Also, who gives a shit if you have a utility knife?
>MTB
I’m guessing this stands for mountain bike??
I imagine there are areas and scenarios where they would definitely care. Op could be a felon. Could be European. I’m not going to bother to look it up but it wouldn’t surprise me if a province in Canada would have a problem.
Also depends greatly where Op is riding said bike. Is it on a trail maintained by a liberal city? Is it on a university campus somewhere?
>just be eaten bro
Don’t own a vicious, unleaded dog and it won’t get stabbed.
>Don’t own a vicious, unleaded dog
Thankfully all my dogs run on leaded fuel.
>run on leaded fuel.
Such is the plight of solid lifters.
The lifters run in oil. Leaded fuel is for old school valve seats.
t. old guy
When leaded fuel was all that was available, oil contained zinc to protect the cam and solid lifters.
Since unleaded gas has become common, oil blends have dropped or severely reduced zinc content.
So, leaded gas equates to a time when solid lifters were a thing.

Go ahead, run with that goalpost, run, I say.

Shit, i really am here forever aren't I?
So are your anonymous friends!
black paracord wrap or ordinary paint
Rit “dyemore” can be used for dying synthetic fabrics (plastics).

Would probably work on your knife and be more permanent than paint.
Electrical tape
Self-fusing, or hockey stick tape, or bicycle drop handlebar tape...
Why would buy a knockoff mora, they are only ten bucks
Also dont stab doggos.
FRICKING FIGURE IT OUT MAN
Im a cyclist, bikegay, whatever.
You are going about this wrong.
My first point is that you vs dog, if you choose knife you're gonna get wrekt by the dog.
Air horns, pepper spray and tazer are all legal, far more effective and yeah, b***hy but hey, were the gays out there riding bikes.
But honestly, if an aggressive dog is coming for you drop the knife and get your bike between you and the dog.
Knife vs dog is dumb.
Pocket knife in jersey is way more subtle and effective if you want a blade. But like, id just strap an air horn to your downtube.
Pedestrians, dogs, frickin everybody gets it.
The idea of someone standing there in lycra and roadie shoes holding that knife against a pit bull about to rip their dick off is laughable
Dont be that guy op
>pepper spray and tazer are all legal
Stopped reading there because that’s not true. This is highly dependent on area. Tazers are illegal as shit in many states.
I looked it up.
Its literally only rhode island, which i will never go to.
You are a simple, reactionary idiot.
Ok moron.
States where use is outright banned.
>Hawaii, Rhode Island
States where it’s illegal to carry in public without a permit
>Delaware, Illinois, New Mexico, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
If you know anything about how concealed carry permits work (guaranteed you don’t), a state that is may issue is basically no permit issued for the average citizen. I’m not going to bother to look up which ones are may issue. You’re free to find more false information.
States where it’s illegal to carry outside home.
>conneticut
Some states also ban concealed carry. If you want to open carry a self defense weapon, be my guest.

Thats an awful lotta words to say you could most everywhere but rhode island aaaand hawaii i guess. I dont know anything about hawaii only looked it up quick
Op is talking open carrying knife as dog protection
I live in a freedom state
Knife as dog protection is still dumb
Whats your kick with thread derailing hissy fits over semantics and unrelated technicalities?
Yeah I know but I'm a dumbass I can't be trusted with an air horn or pepper spray because I'm gonna use them on cagie homosexuals more than dogs getting in trouble I don't need; the knife it's just an extrema ratio if I happens to be in a pickle with a dog biting my ankle preventing me to get away
I bought that knife for 8€ dude
Address how you are going to do anything but piss the dog off with a knife.
Your not gonna be able to slice thick hide. A pissed off dog has alot more dangerous parts to it than a human with a knife
Thats the moronic part
I'm not gonna slice I'm gonna stab the little shit in the neck or ribcage
>Address how you are going to do anything but piss the dog off with a knife.
You could have fun with his eyes, mouth, and nose while he's killing you.
and ears. ears could be a cool access port to his tiny brain. Granted pit bulls seem to be stupider than a fruit fly, if someone was probing the inside of my skull via my eyes and ears I might think about getting the hell away.
You're moronic
Oh is that how everyone shoulda just dealt with police dogs? Ooooh.
Dumbass
Is this what happens if I go down the wrong alley in Detroit?
Most dogs are less than 50kg, protect your neck, and be prepared to take a bite somewhere less important. Some dogs do have thick loose wrinkly skin that's very good at protecting from stabs and bites, you may well be better of just picking the c**t up and smashing him.
>dog safety
I like it better when only Americans post here
Ok cletus
I bet you like it better when only Romanians post here
Kid’s knife looks like the same blade.
Heat shrink tubing? There’s grippy black type but I can’t be shopping for you.
>dog safety
Just buy some pepper spray like a normal person.
>bought knife specifically for descrete self defense
>picked the brightest fricking hi-vis color
