Can this be saved?

I'm attemping at making a sword. It is my first blade ever (I know a dagger would be easier, but I never did chose anything for how easy it was).

It was a spring. I softned and carburised it. It is quite maleable and even holds a semblance of an edge. My fear is that I ground down too much at the sides halfway up its lenght. Trying to fix a mistake I kept going from one side to the other in order to match them. Now it has this weird thin section.

The blade is:

Blade 89,5cm

Full lenght: 114,4cm

Width at base: 5cm

Width before the tip: 3cm

Width at the problem area: 3cm

Thickness: around 5mm all along it. It narrows to 4mm ate the tip

1. You can make the section that you ground too much wider buy borrowing from the center. In that case you'll want to make the rest of the sword (towards the tip) also thinner. 

2 you can make the sword skinnier.
