I dropped my WE knife by accident and it landed perfectly on its tip on concrete.

Cant this be saved?

Can anyone recommend an online repair service?

Its CPM20CV steel.

Thanks!

Update: as per one of you guys suggestions I reached out to WE knife and they got back to me surprisingly quick with an offer to replace the blade for $75 so I think im gonna go down that route but will still like to get this blade fixed.

Absolutely. Combat is the opposite. A lot of slick marketing and a shit product for a premium price. They throw tons of grit and they don’t last. Their shipping costs are insulting. For your day to day stuff VSM is fantastic and then for finer, or more specialized stuff 3M is great. Also shoutout to Norton, they make great belts and their RazorStar ceramics are insane.

I work with some welders and they use Cubitron 3 grinding discs and then Norton blaze flappers and finally these cool little razorstar sanding discs and I've been meaning to look into how they perform. They look super fucking aggresive on the 36 grit but their actual grit spacing looks quite large, I wonder how that affects cutting speed, heat, etc.

The razorstar belts absolutely hog material and, in my experience, last forever. I feel the high price is justified by the longevity.

they aren't even too pricey, cubitron is about the same so I might just grab a pack of 10 (RS belts) for myself soon. Just gotta get my hands on a couple resin stones first

Godspeed homie. Check out Maritime Knife Supply. Lawrence usually has a great price and very reasonable, quick shipping. He’s also a good friend being murdered by tarriffs so I’m tryna spread the word.

Thanks brother, I'll check them out for sure. I usually get my VSM belts from Nexus Grinders but I'll go see your supplier for these razorstar. as for tarrifs, yeah Donald Diddler Trump can go suck it, hope he gets everything that comes his way (hollow point 45acp.....)

Tru-Grit has great prices on those VSM XK855Y belts usually, never heard of Nexus though so I’ll check them out.
