Actually, I had a Taliwhacker LE years ago... I don't believe it actually turns up. It's an illusion, it actually goes the other way... if that makes sense. It's not upturned, trust me... you could probably do a similar mod on the Bandicoot to change the clip point to the same profile as you'd actually be removing metal in a gentle curve to bring the tip further away from where the spine connects to handle.
