Nice Fix!

Great way to make lemonade with life's lemons Spencer. Reminds me of the equilibrium shape.

I know the Spyderco philosophy is to continually improve on their designs, but I don't think the knives can do it on their own. :D

Are you using a Dremel or something or just free-handing with sandpaper?

Spyderco ought to make a model with a flat head screwdriver shaped tip for those of us that have this, ahem, problem. (I snapped a first gen Native recently)

Maybe you should break the tip off some of your other knives. :) That is a very nice job.
