I was slicing up some monster cardboard boxes to make more room in our recycling barrel, and hung the blade's hook up on one of those copper-colored industrial staples.

The edge ended up with three nasty dinged spots. I've been trying over the last few days to bring it back to beauty and sharpness with my Sharpmaker (I only have the regular rods, not the diamond or micro-fine), but it's slow going as the dings are in the concave curve pretty close to the tip -- and I don't want to round off the tip and make things even worse. :mad: :(

Anyone have any advice?
 
OUCH!!!!!
I agree send it back to Spyderco to redo. For the price it can't be beat. I stay away from trying to resharpen those curved blade ever since i messed one up. Good luck!

Ahhh I know what you mean! I dropped mine on a tile floor and shattered the tip and sheared about 1/4" of the edge off... ruined it. Even if you reground it it would not be the same at all. The little knife fell and hit JUST RIGHT, just exactly as it needed to for that to happen.

It sounds like a regrind may fix your problem though.

I mailed mine in at Sal's request on this forum. I doubt they can fix it, but it was nice of him to ask to see if there was anything they could do.

I've written it off as a casualty of EDC. Rest in peace Dodo.
