I have an old Western model 062 folding hunter. The blades are worn by about 10% and are now thicker than I would like for efficient sharpening. I happen to love the design of this knife, especially the use of a California clip blade instead of the so called skinner on other folding hunters.

Question. How would one go about putting a hollow grind on the blade to get it back to a reasonable thickness? Remember in response that this is (drum roll and slight echo) "A QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE" quote Esleirbag.
 
Use a grinder and grind in a hollow, check on rec.knives for Johnston's homemade hollow grinder.
