Sharpening a swedge that currently has no edge
$2 an inch
Check your local laws before sending your knife for this service, in many states doing this makes the knife a dirk or dagger and is illegal. This can be done on bowie, ka-bar, or any other blade that has a swedge.
Sharpening Serrated Edge
$5 per inch
Serrations are hand sharpened back to a sharp edge.
Removing knife Serrations
$2 per inch
If your knife has fine serrations you don't like they can be removed.
Regrinding a new point or shortening a blade
$15
If you have a knife with a broken or rounded tip a new point can be ground on. This is just the cost of regrinding the point, ground spot may or may not match the rest of the blade's finish. This is for single edged blades, if you need this done to double edged blades it can be done but will be repaired differently. This is also a great option to shorten a blade if your favorite knife is too long to legally carry where you live.

Adding blade choil, finger choil or ferro rod notch
