Scroll down for pics!!!

Weird knife but cool. Used and a little abused. Nothing a good sharpen and a little oil won't fix. I haven't been able to find much info. Can you guys tell me anything about it?

The Blackout followed me home as well. The Blackout needs cracked open and thoughly cleaned. I wonder what the thing in he lanyard hole is?

The main problem with the 4510 is that it was really dirty. This is after I cleaned it.

Chipped edge

The Blackout was $5 what can I say.

The 4510 was more than the Blackout. I think I am going to try to sharpen the Blackout back to normal myself. I have been getting better at sharpening.

That would not be a real nice thing to do.

Lol, why not? I didn't mean change the blade profile, I meant give it a new tip and bring it back to its former glory! Or buy a new blade straight from the source. I didn't mean try to get it for free or anything.

From what I am seeing on the blackout a system lie edge pro or wicked edge could fix the smooth part of that blade no problem, you can remove a decent amount of metal pretty quick with those to fix nicks

You can fix a tip with the wicked edge system? That's awesome! I still want to know what kershawguy meant when he said it wasn't a very nice thing to do. I gotta have a tip on my knives for sure!
 
I have a Lansky diamond system. Shouldn't take a real long time, though I find I get great results on tips by freehanding.

Don't worry. I'm sure he mistakenly thought you were going to claim warranty privilege, which it's clear you are not. I had somewhat the same problem with a rather damaged Emerson, but was able to send it to a knife maker who did wonders for it, including reconstituting a nearly worn out Ti liner lock. Replacing the blade at Emerson would've cost $90, which is still an option, but I think there's plenty left on the blade. It was mainly the liner lock I was worried about, and it's fine now. Someone said that by having it repaired I "lost" the warranty, but I never had it to begin with. I didn't even look into buying a new liner lock, although did replace all the screws and bought a new pocket clip for it.
