I would like to know if anyone knows of a bladesmith that would be able to regrind the blade so that it could be used again for it's intend purpose.

In my research, I’ve noticed there are several knife maker associations around the country. Here is a list of the American Bladesmith Society’s master bladesmiths. They also have a journeyman list. I would think re-grinding. that blade is a pretty easy task for an experienced person. Good luck! https://www.americanbladesmith.org/master-bladesmiths/
