What to do with a cobra head

[druid]

The really considered leaving this alone but, I hate the Cobra head. I just got a aluminum salsa. It carries tape up and is not reversible, as I pulled the knife out of my pocket the Cobra head snags, and due to the nature of the nature of the compression lock the blade pops open about a fourth of an inch. I first noticed this as I was cutting my finger. I really don't feel comfortable with it. I took the clip off and might use it as a pocket carry around the house. But I'm really not sure what to do with it there are there are only so many spiderco I can have without arousing the natives. Right now it is literally hiding the back my closet. The Cobrahood cannot be removed without leaving a Above the opening whole which creates two Sharp ledges. I only paid $42 for the knife discontinued and can afford the loss. As such but it makes me sad to have a spiderco that I cannot use in its intended manner. I apologize if this seems an unjust criticism.

What I have done with my cobra hoods was take them off. just not to my liking.

If you like everything else about the Salsa, then you may want to consider narrowing down the cobra hood with a file. That way you would still retain the contour of the thumb ramp but reduce the potential for snagging. If it were mine and I was having that problem I would file, test, file, test, till I eliminated the snagging. On the other hand, if I had other issues with it beyond the hood, then I'd be more inclined to trade it off for something I liked better.
