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.

You actually did a great job!! Like it a lot, congrats!

Looks nice actually. Next project you can modify the sheath haha

Yup that is the first thing I thought about when I stuck it in the sheath.

Lol

That is a great Idea. I will post a picture when completed.

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.

that would be a challenge...but sounds like it would look cool.

I'd do something like this.

This ^^. Leaf is the blade shape of highest utility

[Bub360]

It does look pretty cool, good job

[Bemo]

I like it the way it is. Very Seax like.

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

[tonijedi]

Looks very nice. D's suggestion is also good. I'd try to make it look like a santoku.

But it seems like he could use all the metal near the tip that he could get

Leave the reverse tanto…it looks fantastic!!!…Great job on the lemonade…Hindsight - PRYBAR

THAT is a good point, maybe leave it blunt

[bearrowland]

Great job!

[RustyIron]

Looks great!
I wouldn't have known the knife was "damaged."

[ZrowsN1s]

I like it.

[bladesandbeverages]

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