Sharp Edge On Round Hole!!

knifedude · #1

I have a new Delica4 that has very sharp edges around the Spydie hole. I have very calused hands and it actually cut the side of my thumbnail and into my thumb, while opening it. Has anyone else experienced this? Non of my other Spyderco's are near this sharp. I have been tempted to take it back and exchange it for the Endura4 that I looked at as I do not recall it being that sharp either. (this was the last Delica that they had and I live 110 miles away and will be there this week. Any advice!!

THANKS, knifedude

There was a thread on this a couple weeks ago I think... Get some fine grit sandpaper and twist it into a cone shape. Proceed to twist with light pressure on the outside of both sides of the hole. It's called called chamfering? (SP?)

I'm sure someone will provide the link

Here was a thread from a couple of weeks ago that offered a few suggestions including the use of a marble!

The round ceramic rods are great for taking the bit out of these Spydie holes.

or a dremel and a sanding drum

Spyderco leaves the Spyderhole unpolished to aid traction, so your thumb does not slip. Most of them are fine, just the way they come, but sometimes one will be a bit too agressive. Trick is to make it smooth enough not to cut you, without going overboard. For that reason, I'd suggest hand sanding, rather than any kind of power tool. A piece of 200 grit sandpaper formed into a cone or over a marble works great.
