Lending it to my roommate was probably one of the dumbest things I've done in a while. I figured he couldn't do too much damage to it just using the pliers. I still can't believe he managed to do more damage in 5 minutes than I had done in almost a year of use. Sadly, a replacement seems out of the question. There's no way I'll be able to get my roommate to replace it now.

Also, I don't think the amount of damage warrants sending it back to leatherman. Admittedly, the tip will never be the same, but the knife is still in good, usable condition, and the rest of the tool still functions perfectly. (By the way, the hinge seems to have loosened back up)

I'm a little worried hearing that reshaping the blade voids the warranty, but I still think I'm going to go with a simple file job.
