Thank you! Alas, I can't take any credit. Spyderco did a special run of these Delicas, and I think the blade looks wicked!

I would definitely like to see this profile on the Endura, Military or Resilience :thumbup:

ETA: I knew I had seen this somewhere before. One of our own (Jake Lucas) reground his Millie to a similar profile.

oh I really like the looks of that blade. Nice work!
 
I did a similar fix (reverse tanto) on a mule that lost its tip. Came out ok. That blade shape is pretty sweet. I used a Dremel cutting disk bc I don't have a grinder and the s110v steel dented my cheap file and may have slightly cooked the tip. Be careful you don't overheat it while grinding.

I went with more of a sheepsfoot style blade, and it turned out ok. I would've like to use a belt sander, but all I have on hand is a cheap, beat up bench grinder with stone wheels. Decided to do some file work on the spine, too. Didn't turn out so great because after I started, I realized just how worn my files were.

Let me know what ya think! And please feel free to share any delicas you've modded yourself!
 
I like how it turned out. It looks similar to the sheepsfoot BMgrip with the spydie hole.

On the plus side, you should be able to defeat a staple.
