Regrinding Griptilian tanto into drop point????any ideas??????

[boki_zca]

I love griptilian , cant stand tanto blade but steel and knife are really good!How can I regrind it and to what shape????? I have belt sander and some experience and plan to thin down the blade !Im thinking about grinding it similar to Yojimbo 2 or to some kind of drop point....dont mind the shorter blade as the knife is used instead of utility knife!

use a lot of water to keep that metal cool!

Philwar did something similar to his Recon 1 Tanto. Try his thread.

I hate tanto blades,but love the grip! Its really not difficult to make the conversion.Not perfect,but made a great user.

why not just put the knife up on the exchange and see if you can trade it for a drop point griptillian? or sell it and buy a drop point griptillian

just take out the secondary tip, and create a continuous edge, (Jap Tanto) get the benefits of the tanto tip but still make it slice more easily
