I recently drop my endura on the point of the blade and messed up the sharpness of the point.
What is the best way to fix it up?
THX for any in put.
Dropped on tip...
Great idea, though even a Krein addict like me will admit it is overkill. A few sharpenings, or 1 Spyderco sharpening on a belt sander should fix it. The only knife I ever damaged the tip on was my Caly Jr ZDP with a Krein regrind. Like a dummy I left the clip on the knife when carrying it deep pocket, and when I pulled my wallet out the clip caught on the wallet and the knife came right out of my pocket, and it fell and when it hit the floor it bounced up and slightly opened, and the tip hit the tile. It only took a tiny bit of tip off, and 1 sharpening by Tom Krein when it was getting it's Krein Regrind stamp on it had the tip as needle like as ever. I have never broken off a tip in regular use yet, and since most of my knives (after selling off lesser used knives I have about an equal number of Krein regrinds to factory knives) have thinner to much thinner tips than my Millies and Para I don't get why most people complain about the tipon those knives. Aside from hitting hidden metal when cutting I really can't think of a situation where I would snap off a Millie or Para tip, and so many people berate them for having fragile tips. As long as you aren't prying with those tips they are very durable, yet very good at piercing. They are about a perfect tip for good piercing on a very tough blade, IMO.duff72 wrote:krein ffg regrind :D

If you have some DMT diamond stones, use 'em. If not, I suggest picking some up. The Diafolds are relatively inexpensive, and some are double sided. I suggest an X-Coarse, and a Coarse/Fine. They should be around $20.00 each on the Bay.

You don't know how painful it is to see your buddy lay a piece of cardboard flat on the concrete garage floor, grab your black Dodo off the workbench, then proceed to slice the cardboard into several pieces. I had to turn away (I couldn't bear to watch) and afterwords he had a look like "what? what's the problem?" Some people just don't understand.

If I saw someone doing that with one of my Spydies, I would immediately become . . . not happy, and they would not be using said Spydie. This is also why my Spydies generally stay in my bedroom or in my pocket.Jay_Ev wrote:You don't know how painful it is to see your buddy lay a piece of cardboard flat on the concrete garage floor, grab your black Dodo off the workbench, then proceed to slice the cardboard into several pieces.

Remember that whenever you have tip damage, it is better to grind down the spine more than grind back the edge. If you keep grinding the edge back, eventually it will not be fully covered by the handle when closed. Grinding the spine down helps keep the edge in its intended spot.
