Thanks for watching! It's not about the quality of the knife in this case - it's about the repair. The knife is actually very good quality for the price. Steel behaves like AUS8, and this broken tip is definitely not a factory defect. :)
Neat work as always, this knife was really lucky!!! The final result is so well balanced, that it is not so obvious that the initial shape and size were different. PS 1: I have to apologize. You had post a great answer at one posted query of mine, but, thanks to health problems (orthopedic ones), and consequent lack of time, it was not possible for me to write an answer or even sharpen my kitchen knives - it is even, still difficult for me to stay erect and sharpen (if I sharpen while sitting on a chair, I can't easily maintain the angle). I feel unpolite, and in coming months I'll try to catch up. PS 2: Recently, I bought 4 JENDE nanocloth strops along with their corresponding diamond emulsions. Thanks to budget restrictions I couldn't buy them all, but I intend to buy the rest grits next winter. I'll post about. Best regargds - stay healthy.
Thank you for the always excellent and informational comments! I'm very glad you are able to reply whenever you do so! Please stay healthy and continue on your sharpening journey. Everything in its time, sir!
Thanks for watching! I dipped the blade in water to cool it off. I normally don't need to dip in water, but because I was grinding a decent amount of steel off quickly, it could have easily blued and ruined the temper. Better safe than sorry :)
What do you charge for re-tipping? I have Kershaw Ken Onion Design all SS. It got put in the wash and tip broke off, some bending too. It was a very sharp point. $60 knife. Is it worth your services with shipping? Thx.
😄That is definitely one option. The only thing to watch out for when doing it is that the tip doesn't stick out above the scales when in the closed position.
@@nedflanders9045 🤣🤣Yeah, I think we all do!! I learned back in about 2005...The great thing about some of these lessons is that they only need teaching once 🤣🤣
No ordinary fellow has professional belt grinders with several grits available. Most broken tips are on knives used by regular fellows and are not shipped for repair by a pro. Think it over.
Thanks for watching. While I try to cater to all levels of sharpeners in my videos, tip repairs like this are just not 101. The information and techniques presented is useful to all, though. As the saying goes, get the right tools for the job if you don't have the belt sander or grinder. Or better yet, don't use the knife as a prybar in the first place 😀
Very nice job sir. I found your video very helpful Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Nice Work
Thank you, sir!😎👍
Excellent... Just in time for the premier 😁
Glad you could join us! We've been watching you!! :D :D :D
This pocket knife looks like a BudK special. The cost of repairing the broken tip probably cost more than the knife itself

If it's a knife you like who cares, I have very expensive knives and beaters some cheap knives can take abuse better than a microtech, Benchmade etc

Thanks for 💡. Ideas
I'm glad it was helpful!
What is the purpose of dipping the blade tip in what I assume is water?

Juuust the tiiiip!
Yeah, baby! Yeah!
Where are you located?... i tried to sharpen my cold steel broken tip... and its rounded
How much does one of these machines cost?
This is a 4x36" belt sander that is usually available for about $100-200 USD depending on the brand.
I am re tipping using the work sharp Ken Onion Edition.
Excellent! Make sure you bring the spine down so the new tip still sits inside the scales when closed!
Same happened to my Remington bouy (probably spelled wrong) knife.

Do you offer this service for basic chipped blades?
We try to sharpen almost anything this doesn't require welding :D
I broke the tip of my knife ( by accident )and I kinda made a miniature tanto point

@@JendeIndustries trust me I found out the hard way:)

How much would you charge for this instance
