This is probably going to be an easy one. So I probably don't have the best equipment but I wanted to know the simplest ways that I can chamfer some of the nasty edges on a Spyderco Babdy Jess Horn. I like the knife, I think I would love the knife if the G10 scales had a bit of finishing work done to it.

Thanks!
 
Ive used sand paper on a block for g1o and micarta. Its slow but that helps keep mistakes at a minimum. I was just smoothing out the edges nothing major.
 
On my PM2 I went around the edges lightly with 400 and 1000 grit sandpaper, just to round the edge off a little bit. Just being in and out of my pocket smoothed it out even more.
 
Dehorn those sharp edges and corners with file and/or sandpaper.
The only thing that should be sharp on a knife is the cutting edge.
 
Use a small, fine, mill bastard file. Do it outside, wear rubber gloves, and a mask.
I picked up the bastard file set, it came with 3 of them and worked great! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still trying to figure out if I want a thumb groove on the spydie opening hole side. But the files did a great job in making this tiny knife easier to hold as well as deploy.

I'm really enjoying edc'ing this knife right now vs being on the fence at first. i liked the size of it but the sharp edges were bothering me.
