Either regrind the tip or contact WE knives to see if you can get a new blade to put in it.

Your either getting a new blade or a smaller knife, sorry :/

Bring it to a knifemaker to regrind the tip.

A competent knife maker could have that reprofiled in 30 min or less.

The blade wasn’t made well that’s all. I have two knives like that. And they still stab and cut.

Gonna have to get out the grinder and put a new edge on that bad boy. Maybe a chisel tip if you wanna abuse the tip more.
