The edge on my Strider has a little fold in it.
It looks like a very small chip, but when I run my thumb on it it's obviously just folded over.

How do I remedy this?
 
S&H will be way too expensive. (I live outside the US)

It's just a little piece of folded steel so I hope I'll be able to fix it myself.

At first, I didn't know what you meant until I read the Sharpening FAQ. :P
But yes, it worked. Thank you. :)

Small details:
I used the back of a large kitchen knife because I don't have a rod. I started by going edge-first which ended up _sharpening_ my knife rather than fixing the fold.
So then I started going spine-first and it fixed my problem with just under 10 strokes on the side with the fold.
Now the fold is almost gone... But the edge on my knife is very very course because the kitchen knife sharpened it. :P
 
It's ATS-34. :)

Mr Strider, you're a God. It's true about what they say about Striders: They're addictive!
I'm already planning on 2 more. (WB then ARorGB)
