I've thinned and refined my tips forever using 600 grit Wet-Or-Dry sandpaper (rubbed against itself to make it less aggressive) wrapped around the cork end of a staple. The curve of the staple is consistent with the slope of the blend and, particularly with cane that wants to tear rather than scrape, it lets you thin the corners easily.
I usually do everything with my knife, but there are times when the sandpaper seems to be the better choice...
