Is this underhanded?

akadave,
Looks like your the one spoiling for a fight. I am a crap talker of the highest order when I want to be but I'd be just as happy to see this thread die, so have it at I'm done feeding this argument.

Dave did me a great favor the other day, he was not trying to. I think he just likes to pick.

Why do you not send me that Gerber with a $5 bill, I will put a new point on it and use the bill to return it.

A.G.,
Thanks for the offer but when the mood strikes me I'm probably going to make a stab at reshaping it on my bench grinder, might even try and put on edge on the back side of the point. Worse that can happen is I don't like the results and it goes in hibernation for another year.

Do not let it get so hot that it changes color
 
No recent experience with blades on a grinder but burned (and ruined the temper) on more than a few blades working in a meat shop.
 
OK, feel free to laugh as I like to think I have a sense of humor and can take a joke, but I didn't want y'all to think I stirred all this sh@t just to scumbag out in the end. Had a few free seconds today and like I said I was going to try a regrind myself and I did. Ended up with servicible bayonet style point that is so ugly only a mother could love it, also took some off the back side to make for a thinner point. As I said it's ugly but at least's it pointed and was a fun experiment with a blade that cost me nothing.

it actually looks pretty good. i'd grind a little more off the top so that the spine slopes straighter, just for aesthetics.
 
Looks functional and almost a spearpoint-like. Good job! Now do you like it better then even when you received it??
