I vote for #1, personally. It was a very cool pass around to be part of and the history is a lot of fun.You bring up a Very good point...... before and after clean up. ???
I just got the knife back yesterday after work. It looks great all things considering.
I was really worried about how some things had happened in use/testing..... but it looks really good.
I'm having a philosophical debate with myself....
Do I make it as good again as I can get?
Do I fix the "issues" as best as I can?
Do I release it as is.... it has Alot of history on it.
namely... the heel area, the micarta got damaged. The owner at that time did a really nice job of sanding down the rough, chipped area. We did this so the testing could continue and we could keep passing on to the next person...... (Do I fix this area, adjust/balance the opposite side?) If i do this I would probably sand the red/white liners and clean them up, and make them like new again? And maybe soften the handle flats, giving them more contours...... idk???
I'm up for opinions.... from New people, and those that have used/seen it.
*Nobody has complained.
maybe we need a poll....
1. Leave it as is.... Just wash, clean up, and make sure it's good and sharp! Ship. Least invasive.
2. Spa day (sharpen, sand/clean liners, thin edges even More) Leave lop sided micarta near index finger alone.... it's Pass Around Character.
3. Fix handle Completely.. give it a new look clean, sand, contour as much as I can. Change the look and feel. (but this takes away the history)
4. Take handle off, raffle winner gets to decide new look.
5. Keep this wonderful knife for myself, cancel raffle..... Hahha!
