I recently traded knives with jdub and landed this fine Case XX 6375. It's been so every lightly used and very carefully sharpened, but the blades are factory full with the exception of the sheepsfoot. It had been slightly tipped. The jigging is so good it's almost as if someone tipped this blade not long after getting it then put it up.
So, since it wasn't pristine I thought I'd fix it. I didn't want to shorten the blade as much as would be needed to make it factory square, so I decided to sharpen it out on the old belt sander. A little sharpening, taking the sharp point off the chip, and voila! I still haven't done the final sharpening yet, but here is the fixed tip before and after.
Excuse the not so great pics. Expand the before pic and it's more visible.
