I could just kick my ass for neglecting to shoot before pictures of this knife. It was a real nice repair job - almost 1/2" of the tip was gone and the edge was wrecked. The owner requested that I, "thin and resharpen the knife back to it's original glory". The poor guy was a victim, he didn't even own the damage, others did it. Anyway, it sure would have made for great before pictures, too bad I'm in too much of a hurry today.
