Fixing a chip to the tip of a blade?

[xRUSTYx]

Hey Guys,

 

Finally getting around to this (now that I have a picture).  Absolutely love my TGO Protech Runts I got several months back, to the point that I daily carry one of them.  The very first day I got it, I accidentally chipped the tip of the one I carry.  Not sure how it even happened, as I was looking at them one minute, and the next day I noticed I had chipped it.

 

Would a knifesmith <-- not even sure if that is a legitimate person -- be able to fix this?  Or would I simply just need to sharpen it down over and over until gone?

 

 

Thanks y'all!

I could sharpen that and fix it

Sharpen it but don't grind it to match if its a working tool.  Just sharpen it as it is and over time and use, it should even up.  Grinding down the rest of the blade just to get it all straight is too destructive unless its a showpiece or something.

Leave the grind at the bevel that is already there and sharpen it. It probably will round out a bit unless you send it out to Seeattle Edge

I fixed a friends Punisher TR4 by stropping it and then sharpening it, by the look of yours it seems to be in better shape then the one I did

Buy yourself a Billy Club strop

That is the one I have you could completely remove the chip just using that


If you want it done professionally and are worried about doing it yourself I would send it to Protech and have them fix it,

But you will love the Billy Club strop and after fixing your blade, use just the strop to keep your knives sharp, this is what I do to all my carry knives, when I rotate a carry knife I strop it with all three sides of the club using the different compounds, wipe it down and put it away

This keeps all of my knives as sharp as they left the Protech factory Edited November 15, 2015 by willis68

Thanks for the link, willis. I'm going to order one for myself and maybe one for someone else as well.

 

Guess it's time to learn how to care for my investments.

Once you get it, look on YouTube,

I think he still provides the instruction papers with the link to the video
