Laser cut hole a little uncomfortable

I am new to Spyderco knives — went and got an Endura as my first knife, expecting an Endura trainer soon. Doing a reverse opening (using ring finger) I am starting to notice some discomfort at the hole revolves around my ring finger around the cuticle area.

Has anyone found the need to bevel or round-off the 90 degree edge of the laser cut Spyderco hole to ease any discomfort? Is this even possible? or maybe do I simply need a larger hole model, such as Police, Military or the Wegner? (I am figuring once I get all my techniques honed-up good, I can translate it easily to other Spydercos.)
 
Out of my many Spydies, I've hand one or two that have needed a bit of work on the hole. It was no problem and only took a second. Just use whatever you have handy: sandpaper, a dremel, or even the corner of one of your Sharpmaker rods. Hope it works out for you, and if in doubt, just contact the Warranty Department!
 
I've had to dremel the edges on my SS Dragonfly. I just stuck it in a vice and worked slowly... it just cut into my finger in the top of the hole(where it meets the swedge).
 
yes you can take "edge" off the hole cutout, just use caution you don't make it too rounded or smooth, you can remove material but can't put it back on.
I wrapped silicone carbide paper around a pencil shaft for filing the hole.
