So, awhile back I got a EOD Robotics Breacher Bar with the intention of using it as a cheap knife blank. When I got a hold of it I ended changing my mind. I decided to leave it how it was and just sharpen it up.
What I did was take some fine grit sand paper, a file and three sharpening stones ranging from rough to fine to the blade. Eight hours later, I coated it with a high-tech polycarbonate finish...okay, it was only a can of krylon. Next I wrapped the handle with 550 cord. I'll get to work on the sheath soon, Kydex should work.
The idea was to give it a zero grind and leave the tip chisel cut. This way you can still use it as a prybar (another reason for the krylon, Im not gonna worry about messing up my high dollar finish) and you can use it cut stuff.
