I need help, I dropped my knife and the tip is no longer a tip. What's the best way to get it back? Any advice helps.

Going to have to take some metal off that top end to meet with the bevel
Just sharpen it. It’s only a chip off the edge. This is a ten minute fix.
You only have 2 options: grind some off the slope of the blade spine, or sharpen it till it’s semi normal again. Either are valid choices. Whichever you choose if you use a grinder/sander dont forget to cool the heck out of that thing and grind lightly, otherwise you’ll ruin the temper.
Put a new edge on it
Normally I would say grind from the top down to make a new tip and meet at the edge. However, the blade is coated and has a few different geometries going on so I would say the best fix to blend it is to go from the blades edge upwards. So sharpen it until you meet the tip.
You will never get it back, it’s gone. You can file a new one though. Quick file work on the spine will do. Rip coating though.
Because this is a coated knife, the clip appears to have a swedge, and there is so little gone from the tip I would take down the current edge going back about 1/8”-1/4” and grind in a new secondary bevel (edge). It may end up a slightly steeper angle to blend with the original or you may gain just a little width in the secondary bevel in that area. Personally I would grind it at a slightly steeper angle to give you a bit tougher tip and less obvious fix.
This would take me 5 minutes using my grinders but could be achieved with some diamond stones or silicon-carbide sandpaper fairly easily.
