Ok, so it may not be real time travel, but 3 hours behind me is about as close as this little knife is gonna get!
Though my collection is fairly small now, my Mini Micro Bowie by Bhakta is currently the only HI knife that I carry and use everyday, and is absolutely my favorite for that reason among others. I made a kydex sheath for it, and did some light reprofiling work on the main bevel/edge (basically a convex zero-grind) so it stays hair popping sharp. It's taken about 2 hours to get the edge to where it's at, and there's still a bit more to go. It stays attached to me from the time I wake up til the time I go to sleep, sometimes longer. I did not think I would ever part with it.
Bawanna has generously offered to do a checkering job on my beloved MMB, and it will be making the cross-country trip starting tomorrow (or maybe Tuesday). I'm both excited and anxious to part with it, but I know it will come back lookin sweeter than stolen honey. I still had to put it in the box Saturday, just to ease into the goodbye
Being the curious bugger that I am, I asked if we could try to do a little more than just a before and after thread, and include a couple shots from during the checkering process. He was all for it! So here are a couple shots of the knife, the first being most recent, and the others from after I made the sheath. I know they're not the best shots of the blade, but they do a great job showing the handle.
I can't wait to see how it turns out!!
