How should I cut this 8/8????

[JCitron]

So I tried my luck on ebay and failed. I picked up a 8/8 Rebeson that had some chipping figuring at worst I'd lose 1/8 or so, well the chips all have cracks. The upside is it was only 14 bucks down the tube. So here is where I'm at, do I remove the 3/8ths or so and have a 5/8ths blade with skewed geometry. Or should I try removing the back part of the blade and have a short 8/8ths? All suggestions and criticisms welcome.

Just in case it wasn't obvious, the black line is what I'm thinking of doing. I plan on using a dremel, do you grind the thing into shape or should I use a cutting disk to remove the majority of it and then grind it into shape?




Update: I added a red line to the pic that shows the crack.
