Old buck knive restore

[longbowhunter2]

So this old buck knife was given to me. Some one but some else had butchered it by grinding it with a bench grinder.
The 440 stainless steel tough and hard.
I am restoring and/or repairing It.
It is still in progress. When I got it
It looked like s___t.
I am resurfacing it by hand and Stone. To make it flat. Then I will touch it up with a Dremel. Then will do a final polish. Making it a reusable tool. And I will Add it to my collection.

I purchased my old knife second hand and it worn to start.
Over sharpened. I have a new buck
Knife like the old one except new.

You did a heck of a job restoring it so far LB! Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product..its a shame they took a grinder to it but you're doing that buck knife some justice.
