I like your sense of humor Rex and the time you took to show us all these steps.It looks great.
I especially liked the marshmallow remark.
"Of course I never knew I was doing it the hard way until after I was done.",sounds like me.
You've became a star in one post.

Thank you for all the kind words.
As for my next one I think it'll be this one:
I don't think I'll use wood but I'll re-do it in bone. Not a big fan of wood handled knives. It was nice of Kurt to scribe his name on the handle.

I had all of the same questions before I started but figured the only way to know for sure is just try it.

Of all of the knives you have done have you dyed any muskrat man?
I dyed many handles, more than I can recall. Wit hthe dyes I use it's imperitive that the bone is thoroughly DE-greased. but as they say, there's more than one way to skin a cat

Rex, those new handles look better than the original!
I have a friend who has been a knife mechanic for over 40 years. He told me he puts bone scales in an old Crock Pot with leather dye. He turns it on for a few hours, then turns it off and lets it sit a day. He does this off and on for a few days.
I haven't tried it yet, but I will post results when I do.
Thanks for sharing the failures as well as the success, and again, great job on a beautiful knife!

Re: Next Up - W. H. Morley & Sons camp knife?
Injecting the bone scales with oil is a very bad idea.
It will keep the bone from absorbing dye readily and it softens the bone. Sorry....
