Even LV has produced some poor designs and I have no idea who they show
their new tools to before production. Luckily for us, they make plenty
of super nice tools to more than make up for the occasional clunker.

That suggestion was posted a while back. Robin Lee's reply was
"Believe it or not - we discussed that here, but the only way we could
do it, would be to pad the price so we'd have room to discount it."

The solution would be obvious. When something new comes out on the market,
wait a little while and look at user comments before buying one. Of course,
not knowing that there's going to be a much better product out in near
future, (like the LV MK II), abrogates that sentiment a bit. But, by far a
large, it seems the sensible thing to do. Even so, the MK I is not a
completely useless sharpening jig.
