Putting together a lockback, what to do to fix a proud blade tip?

Hey folks. I'm putting together this folder kit seen below:

Upon assembling everything for a dry run before pinning, I've noticed that when closed the tip of the blade stands proud just a bit and can catch my finger when ran along the spine.

Should the area of the lock bar be ground a bit, or should I grind a touch away from the tang of the blade to allow the tip to come below the handle. Or both?

Thanks for any suggestions to this issue.
