Hello everyone, that is my first time posting here but here goes:

Awhile back my dad found, yes found, this beat up spyderco wegner ad gave it to me(which now that i come to think of it was around the time I was looking for an ocelot, funny). Either way, I lost it, but just recently I found it around the house, sharpened it up and it has become my new EDC, it's absolutely perfect rock solid lockup and everything. the ONLY this that I dislike about the knife is the fact that it has serrations, dull serrations that I cannot sharpen and would rather do without. My question to you: even though this is a discontinued and somewhat sought after knife would it be entirely unconscionable to remove the serrations and instead recurve the knife? Also would the blade itself handle the recurve or is it just too much material to take off?
Also: since it is a liner lock I've noticed that the liner goes all the way across the blade when it locks up. Is this bad? should I try and have it fixed? Can it be fixed?

It's your knife. You can do whatever you want with it. I turned a Benchmade 705 from part serrated to plain edge recurve a few years back, so I know it can be done if you like recurves. The only reason I did it was because the serrations had already been buffed halfway to oblivian by the former owner.

Serrations aren't that hard to sharpen with the right equipment (I use a Byrd Duckfoot and a SharpMaker), or Spyderco can sharpen them for you for a $5.00 return shipping fee.
 
I feel it wouldn't be the right thing to do to make it a recurve. You'd be taking off a lot of metal, the edge would have to be put back on, and it would be a serious recurve. You might also no like how it looks afterwards, and second thoughts aren't something you want to have.

My suggestion is to send it to Spyderco and have them sharpen it. Pick up a sharpmaker (or like Yab suggested the Duckfoot) and maintain the edge. CE blades aren't all that bad no matter how much we complain about them. :p :)
