David......
If IRC Dan 'bead blasts' these.
Just get some sandpaper in the 120 grit range..... lightly hit the 'nicked' place AND then soak the whole thing........ blade and all in mineral oil......... for a couple of days.
You can get mineral oil in the pharmacy section at WalMart & it is cheap.
It keeps the micarta from "drying out" & will not hurt the steel.
Hope this helps...... :thumbup:

Can also use WD-40 to 'soak' it too.
