Help, chip on edge

[Dysam]

Hey guys, Im new here and this is my first time posting, not really sure if this is the right place but here goes.

I just received my Enzo Trapper 95 in n690 steel, scandi, and to my amazement, there is this tiny chip on the edge, its less than 1mm, you really have to look for it to see it. However when slicing paper with it you can definitely feel the chip when you slice pass it. I was thinking of just using it but I am hesitant on whether the chip might become larger, or should I just try to grind it away? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Dysam

Is it safe to assume you bought it used? If not, you could send it back. I've had microchips in a fixed blade knife made of 3V and continued to use it before sharpening it and this did not make the chip bigger-and I was using it to process some pretty big fallen branches.

I actually got it brand new. Im just uncertain on whether it is worth to send it back if I can just sharpen it myself.

Cheers

If it doesn't cost too much, i'd send it back. A new knife should not have any major chips on it. Anything that can't be stropped out, basically. I've seen a handfull of Enzo fixed blades, and they all have a pretty pristine edge. If you want to fix that chip, and maintain a true scandi without a convex, that's gonna take a long time.

CPP - If your 3V is chipping out and it grows, that sounds like an improper HT. Which company made it?

Thanks for the prompt replies guys.

Thanks for your response, but that was actually a typo and should have read that it did not spread. I fixed above. It's a BRK Bravo 1.
