Congratulations! You seem to be building a nice collection. Are you still holding on to Glock field knife?

Fallkniven A1 is a beast too and looks pretty intimidating to 'non-knife' community.

@zombie Yes, I am still holding on to my Glock 78, managed to blunt the tip though (dropped it on the floor) Image
Now looking for ways to bring the tip back to its original shape :(

That must have hurt!! Has the tip bent to the side or completely broken off?

Yeah it hurt a lot... As for the tip, a minor portion is bent and also I am missing a portion of the steel :(

Straighten what is bent. Then salvage the tip by reprofiling on a water stone/carbide stone. Since it is broken and fixed, you wont mind putting it to real use :D

Thank you, but at this moment, I only have a pull through field sharpener. Will that help or should I look for the above stones?

You will find the carbide combination stone in any hardware store. They are dirt cheap and will work just fine to get that tip back in shape.
Dont think pull through sharpeners will help. But not sure of this since i have zero experience with pull through sharpeners of any kind...
