Thank you for remembering me.W worqgui had quite the bureaucratic process to get his knife, if I remember right you're South Korean? anyway I had a problem with a Case Copperhead awhile back and got some good tips in a thread

I don't think I can hammer the blade.
I'm afraid I'll break it, bend it, or make the pivot pop out.
I don't think I can send it to Buck Knives but I'm thinking of calling and asking customs tomorrow.
