Saved it?
I had this on a certain auction site and it did not sell.
I was upset because I knew it could be saved in the right hands.
I figured "What the heck... I will give it a go"
Here are the results, please let me know what you think of my TRY at this....

Well done & thought out. The toe shape saved the most steel.

+1 on all above. a great save - especially as you sound as if you were not confident going into it.

FIRST time actually grinding and reshaping a blade with such extensive damage.
Good thing I have read SO MUCH about how to do this on here!
I have to Thank Everyone who has written tutorials and their experiences with similar situations.
A BIG THANKS to ALL those who share their knowledge with us so freely!Siguy likes this.
