Just wondering if y'all had done self mods to the blade of any of your knives when you were bored. Post pics if you have any of your self modded knives. Here's mine, bored at 12:00 I had two swiss army knives and made one recurved.IMAG0542.jpg
 
You're going to have a weird bevel unless you re- (flat) grind the blade I'd think. I've taken a blade to a belt grinder, but never a dremel.
 
I used a dremel on my Bear Grylls Ultimate knife. The knife was a birthday gift, so I was determined to make it useful. Took the serrations off, and gave it a slight recurve. Used a file to even the grind, then took it to my sharpening stones. It could use a little more fine-honing, but I don't really want to invest more time on it.

Never a finished knife, but yes I've taken a dremel to many of my project knives.
 
Yes, i do & yes, i have. Dremel tools are an excellent way to customize your knife/s to exactly the way you want them.
