Reapairing a SAK Tinker Broken Tip

I finally broke the tip of my 84mm SAK Tinker. I used the blade tip to punch holes in a thick metal can instead of the awl and paid the price. Old people like me never learn.
It's an old and hard to find small version of the 91mm SAK Tinker.


Using a rotary tool I re-shaped the tip of the blade. The tip is a little bit rounded than before but nevertheless just as functional.


And after several passes through a whetstone and leather strop, it's good as new again.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
