Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Aging stag..................

I have a new set of stag grips that I would like to age so they look like vintage grips rather than like a new penny. I have heard that soaking in tea will help, any other suggestions? Also heard about using Minwax Golden Oak stain to restore color to sun bleached weathered antlers. What have you used?

Potassium permanganate is the best thing to use. You mix some in water to saturation and paint the stag or soak it. Test some,if you leave it long enough ,it will be absolutely black.
