Anybody tried to improve leatherman (or any other bypass type) wirecutter?

If you look closely at the edge of wirecutter you'll see it's actually round, anybody tried to improve it by filing it to an angle like scissors? I'm thinking ~45° would work well for the soft wire cutter and leave hard wire cutter alone. I would imagine it'll works better than the stock round edge, and perhaps even cut stranded wire with ease.

Don't know I'd hate to file 2 much on them for fear that the gap between them might be widen to much 2 cut wire @ all

Just my opinion though I might be way off

The two sides overlap a couple of mm so it shouldn't be a problem. I'd try it but only having two full size leathermans I don't really want to mod either yet.
