    Shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.

    Looks tricky, you will end up with one heck of a smile, or a small blade. I can see why you want to save that blade, very nice.

    Good luck.

    I have seen a bunch of photos where people grind out the shoulder, kind of like extending from the tang forward. It doesn't appeal to me personally, but it's something that can be done. Search Pimp my Kropp for one example.

    Yes, re-shaping the heel area of the blade should work fine IMO. Provided you know what your doing.
    As for the Swiss cheese bevel edge of the blade, I would just hone with a lower grit hone and see if you can find clean steel

    + 1 to what Grant said. That should be your first move. Until you find that the bevel won't fall apart as you hone there is no point in reshaping the heel. Good luck with it.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
