The bevel is even, it's just throwing a shadow. Still needs buffed but it's usable now.
 
Pretty cool. The tip looks great, as does that spot above the serrations where it almost looks like a chunk is missing. I like user Enduras better than new ones, especially when they have been worked over like this.

I like user blades with character that are hair popping sharp!
 
Nice. What tools did you use?
I used a low speed 1 x 30 belt sander 80-600 grit, Edge Pro Professional to 3000 diamond tape, leather strop loaded with HandAmerican green CrO, bare horse butt strop, DMT rat-tail diamond files for the serrations, Shapton 3000 water stone flat pull-stroke for deburring back of serrations, Tuf-Glide on pivot.
 
Well done. I have enacted similar repairs but I almost always come back within a week and flatten the spine back down to a less rounded tip.
 
That looks awesome! Very nice job. I love seeing user blades, especially when they're beat to hell like that one.
