What went Wrong???
When Life gives you Lemons make some Lemonade!!!!
This is a rookie mistake...I should have not been prying with the tip of my Bow River. Snapped right off...I absolutely know better because my very first Spyderco was a DLC Tenacious an did the same thing trying to remove a shower molding. This time it was a bucket of frozen bate fish for Crawfishing...
First time doing an amateur grind job.
I kind of like it!!!!

I think I'd take it all the way down to a nice leaf shape.

Re: What went Wrong???
First off, great job on the restoration. That knife looks sick!
Second, I think it's time to get yourself one of these bad boys. It's saved me in many similar situations.

Re: What went Wrong???
It does look pretty cool, good job
Re: What went Wrong???
I like it the way it is. Very Seax like.
Re: What went Wrong???
Yes, I'd also prefer the pointier tip of that leaf and eventually go for it - but just from the looks (and not a practical point of view) the blade shape the op created is cooler imo

Re: What went Wrong???
Looks very nice. D's suggestion is also good. I'd try to make it look like a santoku.

THAT is a good point, maybe leave it blunt

Definitely turned out looking great. Very nice work. However, I think I do also really like the blade shape Evil D posted
