Instead of shaving the blade or the collar, it appears you can trim off the
top of the "back" vee, which will give you a bit more forward movement of
the clamp.  (Topmost, left most side in this pic). Taking a bit off the
clamp where those two point contact the clamp would be easier than thinning
the blade-contacting side of the clamp.

I would also check for casting flaws inside the clamp
