I don't know how you resurrected tis thread. Normally you can't re start a thread over a year old. Wouldn't you be able to grind it square?

The thought had crossed my mind to grind it, but I don't have the means or experience, and certainly not the time. If you've done something like this before, is it quick and easy and what tools do I need? And how to keep the grind nice and straight along the face edge?

If you are describing some sort of rhombus then I would re-grind the tip of the blade square with the sides. A pic would help. Is it a 1/4" blade?
If you don't have a bench grinder then it is all probably moot. In which case I agree with Cliff

TT yes it's a definite and very obvious rhombus (rhomboidal!) shaped cross section. The blade is 1/2" wide with some hefty thickness to it. Alas I don't have a bench grinder, though I do know someone who works with metal now that I think about it, so will see what they could do.
Cheers,
Simon

Why bother to make something that it isn't? If the chisel has anything of a skew to it, why not make a skew out of it? I have 2 pairs of 1/2" x 20* skews for wood carving that had other past lives.
Doesn't matter if the cross section is a hernia. Shape it as you need it. Or, at least, use the metal to practice making something that you might need to make in future.
