Modded the Esky, and failed.

[MrKnifekid]

Alright, first up, I put a cool cord wrap on it.

Then I stripped the blade and put a forced patina on it. (stuck it in a pear overnight)

alright, here's me fail. I took it to the grinder and tried to put a different edge angle on it. I did not like the 15 degree edge angle. I am more of a fan of the 20 degree. As I was grinding the edge, My hand slipped and i ripped out a huge chunk of blade. I was mad at the grinder so I punched the wheel. Just kidding. Here's the damage.

the knife.

thanks fo' lookin'.

Just make it serrated now and it will look like you did it on purpose

 

[Psyop]

Dosnt look ruined probably will sharpen out. Maybe go vase shopping to make you feel better.

 

[bradlox]

you could try to re do it with a belt sander instead of a grinder .

 

[Guyon]

That'll steel right out.

DO YOU THINK I'M CRAZY!!??

oh, wait, I am.

 

[slapper]

I've always been a fan of recurve.

 

[MrKnifekid]

It's not that big of a chunk, maybe .5 inch.

 

[clich]

Could always make it a true full flat grind

 

[LECTER]

Maybe go vase shopping to make you feel better.

lol!

If you want to send it to me, I'll fix it for you and convex it.

 

[willis]

Ragnars website says that on the lower priced moras the edge frequently has spots along the edge where the temper is burned out during grinding.He says these areas should be honed until the affected steel is gone.I think psyop was right, and it will sharpen right out.

How much would it cost me for this? PM or e-mail me please.
