Great story. So how does it look after you worked on it with the aligner?

I only spent enough time to get it sharp and look semi decent. Ill try to get some pics up of it. I have a few that show the wear a little better.

I'm probably the one of the only people that would NOT send it back for a replacement blade. Simply because it's a 2000 CQC-7, a replacement blade would be from 2014. I'm crazy for older Emersons and even though it's a little worn I'd keep it as is.

I really do like the look myself. Its beat up and used pretty good. Kind of how I feel some days after a long week of work.

Sure is, and you get to keep that cool year marking. I'm carrying this regrind today.

Wow thats awesome!!! Who did that for you? or did you do it yourself?
 
Here's a few quick pics of the blade wear.






Shows it a little bit better. Looks worse in person. I think it looks seasoned.

I would not mind getting a regrind done and eliminating the serrations.

I'd second that, keep the old blade that's why it means something to you. Getting an new blade defeats the purpose of this thread. Also just have a proffesional re sharpen the thing. Might need a regrind then you are good to go.

I hear you. The regrind would be awesome.

I also wouldn't re-blade it. I'd keep it for nostalgia, and buy a new 2014 CQC-7 to use.

Wish I had the cash to buy a new one.

I see that now after the last pic posted!!! amazing.
 
Gooey, show him your SOCFK-A, it's uberwicked.

As to your question, mine was reground by Tom Krein and it's dangerous sharp.
 
I can go either way on serrations. Sometimes I like them and sometimes I hate them.
 
I can honestly say I've never seen a regrind with serrations retained, but if do-able I think it would be awesome.
 
Looking at it, I think I would grab a diamond stone and have a go at it myself if I were you. Just let the primary grind be you guide and slowly, carefully stroke it in straight lines towards the edge. Maybe even tape off the flats.

You mean and eliminate the tanto and just give it some belly? If so, I have seriously considered it.

I have to agree, keep it just for sentimental value and buy a brand new one to beat the crap out of. :D

I think in going to just keep using the heck out of this thing. It had some blade play before I tore into it. Now after a good cleaning and lube, it has none. Loving this blade.
