Ok. I have a Spyderco Salt and a day or 2 ago I noticed some minor chips in the blade. Not huge but just enough to where I notice them and would like to get them out. My question is this I have seen posts where people are not liking the pull through sharpners because of the amount of metal they take off of a blade. But would this be ideal in this situation and when finish off with sharpening stone?

I've removed similar small nicks by lightly running the edge of the blade over my fine Lansky diamond hone. I hold the hone in my hand as well as the knife.
Once the nick is gone I reprofile to finish.
This does not reduce the blade size, at least to my eyes.
I run the edge across the hone from heel to tip during each stroke.
 
Wfs you are spot on. Either remove the metal medium with a lansky or vice a fine bastard file into a vice and use it like a stone to "flatten" the edge to the shape you want, then de-burr with some 400+grit paper and resharpen with a stone. A lansky would be perfect for something as small as that. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
I think what it is just nervous about messing up the blade. I have seen bad things about pull through sharpners
