Got bored and decided to try and dye my dragonfly.

after about 5 minutes

10 minutes

it came out a different color then expected, but happy with the final color.

[kenthenoob]

very nice dye job

[im a ninja]

i like the color after 5 minutes. Still looks nice.

[jonle714]

did anything besides the handles get dyed? wouldn't it be easier to take it apart and just do the handles?

[wild style]

doo doo dragonfly, i like it.

[kenthenoob]

i believe the dragonfly is constructed with pins so you can't take it apart.

[greasypeanut]

does the dye ever rub off? or ....can the indigo from ur jeans stain that knife?

[rome1]

yes it can...and does...It's actually out in my car but it's all indigo stained.I can snap some pics tomorrow.

I had it hanging from the chip clip so mostly only the handle was submerged, I don't think that was even necessary, the dye wiped right off the metal pieces.

When it was white it was pretty stained, I scrubbed it pretty good before dying it.

@soonami isn't that a bit much to carry? if that were my edc, i'd probably carry the skeletool over the gerber. the gerber also isn't very appealing i do like that lighter and keyhook though

[soonami]

I'm been thinking about hooking the keys on with the light and dropping the Gerber, but I don't want to keep all that stuff in my back left pocket next to the torch. Loose keys are just too noisy, and having them on the hook or biner makes them easy to access.

I like the Gerber because it is super light and really sharp. I find that I like have a separate blade a lot of the times when I'm cutting fruit, opening boxes, etc and I don't want to unhook the keys from the caribiner on the Skeletool.

Waiting for my shit Multi-Tool from dealextreme to pull of a wild style key holder.

[branespload]

doodoo pic, and i left out a lot of stuff to fit my main pocket carry in the picture

but i also had my headporter fanny pack w/ extra zebra pencil, an eraser, and my ochem notes. and i didnt post my shure case and the extension cord, but the point is clear i guess.

i didnt wanna post a pocket dump cuz my shiet is in some transition state right now, i gotta get gear to complement my leafstorm

pocket dump from today

i got this as a comment from a reader on my edc tumblr, how do i respond!? i tried to explain to him that i dont like the hype associated w/ atwood but its 7am and i dont think i did a good job:

"Hey man, I really like your site and I'm going to keep a close eye on your updates. But I have to ask, why all the Atwood hate? I know they're kind of expensive, and they don't all have a hundred-and-one uses, but they're beautiful, and made by hand by a real craftsmen! Maybe it's just an aesthetics thing for me, but I'd rather have two attractive tools than one that can do a lot, and look fugly."

[geneticdrifter]

uh oh brane...i think you just opened up a can of worms. do you really want to bring the hype debate here? (With out shitting up your thread anymore..i mean) your blog is very nice, btw. must spread.

and yo, is headporter stuff worth the bucks they charge? are their items that durable?

[35percent]

@brane - I don't like the atwood tools because to me they are not 'tools' or at least not good ones. If I need to take out a nail, I'll her my cats paw, crowbar, or hammer (all of which i have in my car ). It's also a matter of size vs utility. I'd rather not carry it because it doesn't fit into my EDC, and I find the usefulness lacking. But that's just my opinion.

[mlproject]

i've bought two atwood tools and i gotta agree: they're beautifully made, but i couldn't do shit with them other than really small repairs. the knives would probably be the best usage wise imho, but with the metwrench i got, i couldn't get any leverage to really tighten anything.

[wild style]

I'd be lying if I said I use my prybaby for more than opening beers. That little feller sure is pretty looking though.
