Is the problem that the knife is too long, too wide, or what? Also,
how much material are we talking about removing? You could use a
file if it's not a lot. There is such a thing as a power file. Check this:

I have never used one. Never even seen one in person. And I have no
idea how long of a file it could take. Of course, it costs more than
a new knife block.
