Gridning a tip on a finished comercial knife

[SKYWLKR]

can any body sugest the best way to get a point on THIS blade? its a Kershaw rescue BLUR. it has a round tip but I would like to have a point on it. trading blades would be good but i have no luck but I do want to keep the glass break tool so I think blade modification would be the best choice.

here is the blade.

Thanks for any help.

Looks like the false edge will be the deciding factor here. To leave it unaltered I'd raise the tip to get the point.
What were you thinking about doing?

Might be easier to buy a kersaw that had a tip already.

Your other problem is that after grinding the blade won't be black anymore. You could polish the rest of the blade and take off all the black, that way it would look good. Like Mr. Goode said, a new one might be easier.

If it is the typical Kershaw 420 SS, or AUS 6, just keep it for a butter knife and get something with a good steel blade and a point.

Personally I'd grind off the false edge and work down from the spine to make a drop point, though if shgeo is right about the steel then he has a very good point.

Well the knife was free so I'm not buying another, and the blade is silver not the blac,k sorry for the diff pic.

it's the same knife but no black coating and the grip is red anodized and black grip tape.

the steel is 440A.
