Re-shape blade tip

[italophil]

On some of the my SAK main blades the tip is worn down, like in the attached picture comparing two 108mm blades.
What is the best way you use to restore a tip on the blade without changing the shape of the whole edge?

I carefully use a Dremel, with a parting disk, removing the least metal I can yet still maintain the blade shape/profile. Sometimes one has to grind back both the cutting edge, *and* the drop down to the point, sometimes just one is OK. Depends on how it looks to you.
You'll have to perform a major blade resharpening afterwards: IMO best done with something like a Lansky, that can remove larger amounts of metal and keep to a set sharpening angle.

I usually use a medium grit sharpening stone
