Brett,
It won't make any difference if the sheath is already dyed. All of mine are dyed before assembly and hardening. I seal the inside before stitching and then harden. When it's good and dried, I seal the outside and rub out the finish. I use a food dehydrater to do the hardening. It's safe and works well. I have forgotten (maybe one to many bourbans) and left a sheath in all night long with no bad results. Can't do that in the oven. Good luck!
