It's the same one, it just went from stabby to slashy during grinding. It still has a "ghost" of the angular tanto tip before I ground it down, but it's not so easy to see in a static photo and a gray knife. There are so many details to knives that jump out when they're in motion and the light can play off of the facets and metals. Probably the most difficult of subjects I've ever had to photograph, and I don't envy the pros who are tasked with depicting these almost uncaptureable blade details.
